Anyway onto a little weekend eats roundup....
First, some overnight Chia Seed-Coconut-Mango Soaked Oats
1/3 c dry oatmeal + 2/3 c lowfat vanilla almond milk + 1/4 c coconut flakes + 1 Tbsp Chias + vanilla stevia + dried mango slivers
The next morning? Creamy, coconutty, mango-ey, chia-ey action
Also I've still been groovin' on Raw Vegan Brekkie Cookies that I tweak up, inspired by Gina's recipe.
I use: 1 smooshed banana, 1/3 c oats, 1 Scoop Sun Warrior Brown Rice Protein Powder (BRPP), Stevia, cinnamon, and a drizzle of agave for moisture.
And I refrigerate and 18 hours later top with fruit like mangos, plums, & grapes. And I like it all realllllly cold so I freeze the whole thing for an hour before I eat it.
Dinners entailed B.S., brock, cukes & zukes, cauli, and tomatoes, on a bed of spinach dressed with the juice of 1/2 an orange, agave, and crackity blackity
And Plenty of Desserts went down my hatchet...
I made my Raw Vegan Apple Crumble again.
Don't you love my humility? Kidding!
And, The Raw Vegan 5-Minute Donut Holes were really hittin' the spot. So much so that I created a chocolate version! You'll have to check back for the recipe...
VeganMofo in the house today.
Yoga today is Parsva Bakasana (Side Crane) on the left. Work your right and left sides equally so you don't just keep getting stronger on your dominate side and weaker on the other.
Tip of the Day: My Blondie Macaroon Give Away is going to end later Monday....so get your booo-tay entered NOW if you want a chance for some of these bad boys to arrive on your doorstep!
And Alisa's also giving away Dairy Free Goodies!
And a Glass Straw GiveAway over here!
Oh and thanks for everyone who found me on Twitter so far! It's pretty cool that I'm connecting with you this way! For anyone who wants to Follow, I'm at http://twitter.com/LoveVeggiesYoga
What did you do over the weekend? Does anyone have off work today because it's a holiday? I went shopping for an hour alone Sunday afternoon. It was divine. I tried on some really expensive jeans and now I am kinda wishing I bought them. I could always go back, but...Not sure if they are worth it? Ladies, how do you balance being "responsible" with just wanting to buy the cute clothes and treating yourself? Give me your shopping strategy! To buy or not to buy....
Stay tuned for the Raw Vegan Chocolate Donut Holes.......

Chocolate donut holes!?!? You are a raw dessert making genius! And your salads always make me hungry!
I am definitely going to try those oats this week...except for the chia part...I don't have regular chia seeds, only ones with apple cinnamon flavor. I need to find some regular old chia seeds somewhere!
Expensive jeans are so worth it!! BUY THEM NOW!!!! hahaha Or if there is a Nordstrom Rack around check that out. I lived right down the street from a Nordy and a Rack when I was there and it was like heaven!!
My weekend was ok. Saturday was a blast. Took the little one to a farm that had pumpkin patch, hay rides, flashlight corn maze, petting zoo, etc. The little one had a freaking blast and then afterward we hit up Whole Foods for dinner. Perfect Saturday in my book.
Sunday my bestie came home from Israel where she gave birth to her baby. I was super excited to see my friend and the baby. I made them food and took them lots of gifts.
All in all an ok weekend.
Have a great Monday Averie!!

I keep forgetting that today is a holiday. I hope the freaking garbage men come because I've already schlepped the recycling bins out to the curb!
Someone tell these kids I get today off!
Your coconut mango breakfast looks SO yummy! Have a good Monday:)
Wow you mango chia dish looks yummy! I still have yet to splurge into the breakfast cookie action... maybe one day! HAHA.
I think if you sincerely WANT the jeans (or whatever it is you're shopping for.) get them! There are those purchases that we always regret, but I love the satisfaction of finding a really nice pair of jeans, spending my hard earned cash on them, and six months later realizing, they're still my favorite go to pair!
And you can always return. :)
As usual, everything looks delish. As for the jeans, totally go back and get them! Jeans are one of the few splurges I allow myself because the expensive ones are just so much nicer than cheap ones and they last forever! After each kid, I treated myself to a pair when I got back to my pre-preggers weight and both pairs (5 and 6 years old) are still in great condition. Plus, you deserve it! :)
how can you leave us waiting for chocolate vegan donuts holes? you are suchhhhh a tease, Av.. but thats why I love ya! Okay - no, I don't love you for being a tease - I love you for your donut holes and recipes and yoga poses and friendship and always making me smile, a lot :)
ok i literally just navigated twitters homepage for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to type a comment to you...who knows if you ever see it or anything bc that whole scene still evades me. ANYways...im pretty sure that should be adequate proof as to how badly i want to win your treats.
btw, that apple crumble thang looks AMAZING, so give yourself way more credit...you might consider opening an un-bakery with all these raw goodies. id SO be there!!
PHEW!!! I can FINALLY access your page again! I've given up on Internet Explorer and switched to Safari even though I still have a PC. It was getting ridiculous and I can't NOT read your blog.
Looks like you've still got a lot of yummies going on...if I wasn't heading to TX today I'd be whipping up either your raw crumble or your cheesecake RIGHT NOW. :)
You are making more donut flavors. Yum. I'll be back to see those.
I have seen the breakfast cookie on many blogs.. I REALLY need to try it?! Do you like them over reg oatmeal???!?!
Our school def did not have off for Columbus Day.. it wasn't even mentioned.. weird. I'm holding out til Veteran's Day. lol.
Im not a good shopping advice giver.. unless Im going to work.. I live in Old Navy yoga pants and a tank. I personally don't like shopping! Im a weirdo, I know!
Have a super Monday, Averie :)
that apple crumble just keeps making my mouth water. i think i may have to make it soon, what with all these ripe apples around. i am at work today! they don't care about columbus! i think the only clothes worth splurging on are good jeans and comfortable shoes. all the other stuff i can find for cheapy cheap! go get the jeans! i love love love your yoga pose today.
Nice looking breakfast cookie!

TAKE CARE LADY! HAPPY TUESDAYYYYY
You just brought overnight oats to a whole new level. Seriously lady, you rock my world harder every day.
Hmm, spending. I try to shop sample sales of designers I love whenever possible, but lately I haven't really been buying anything. Looking at my bank statement makes me cry, so yeah...
