I am really glad you were getting your "spaghetti" groove on with my Raw Vegan Pasta Noodles & Raw Marinara. And for those of you who are interested in a spiralizer, that little bugger is the best 29.99 I've spent in a long time, for sure. Christmas list anyone?
And thanks for clue-ing me in about what your go-to dinners and quick meals were. I loved reading what everyone grabs and gravitates to in a pinch!
So as promised, let's talk about the Highlights of my Week in Food. If you missed last week's recap, here is is.
But for this week:
Monday I gave Thanksgiving dessert new meaning with my Vegan No-Bake Pumpkin Pie (Gluten & Soy Free)
Tuesday I rocked out the Vegan Fajitas with Sweet-Ginger Lime Sauce
Wednesday I sweetened up your world with the 5 Minute Raw Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Fresh Massaged Kale Salad
And Roasted Sweet Potato Fries and Sweet Potato Curly Fries
And I made some Dark Chocolate Macaroons
Saturday I posted Raw Vegan Pasta Noodles & Raw Marinara
and no meal would be complete without Raw Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls
Today I made some Butterfinger Oats for Scott. 1/3 c dry oats, cooked with 2/3 c water. Swirled in cinnamon, brown sugar, and topped with a 1/2 banana, 1/4 c butterscotch chips, and 1 leftover Halloween Butterfinger bar that I crumbled on top. Not really healthfood or anything but Scott loves this weekend treat!
And just because I didn't get enough yoga in at the studio today (kidding). Yoga Here Today is Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose)
Tip of the Day: My Chia Seed GiveAway!!!!! If you're not already entered, go get your pretty self entered for a 3 Pound Bag of Chia Seeds!!!!! Contest ends Sunday so hurry!!!!!!!!!!
What's your Highlight of the Week? Not necessarily food, but just something that you really savor and enjoy? For me, it's the 4 hours either Saturday or Sunday morning/midday that Scott takes Skylar and I am not mom, I am just Averie. I get to do whatever I want with my free time! Undoubtedly I try to get ahead on veggie chopping and carrot peeling and spend time in the kitchen doing boring things but I try to get out and do yoga, meetup with someone, browse through non-kiddie stores like Bebe or Victoria's Secret, drink a Starbucks alone without singing the ABCs, you know, just enjoy my few hours alone! What's your Highlight of the Week?

i am vegan but not raw- although i do eat lots of raw veg.

Oooh, I think I need to make a spot of me time for a few hours a week! That sounds fab!
I'm so glad you get to meet a fellow blogger friend! That is really cool : )
Yippee, yoga class 2 days in a row!!! Jealous!
Averie,
So very, very pleased for you that you've found a yoga group you like and a friend in the area! Fabulous!
Yay for yoga and double yay for new friends! Sounds like you have been having a blast lately!
We all know you have been eating great! Your food always looks SO mouthwatering and delicious....you are lucky I don't live in Phoenix because I would be inviting myself over for dinner...oh, everyday! Another slice of raw pumpkin pie please!
Hmmm...my highlight of the week. Definitely the weekend because then Cody doesn't have to work and I get him to myself for 2 days. Those are always my favorite days!
Thank you for the awesome package again...definitely up there with best highlights of the week.
I have Saturday morning "me time" too. It's so rejuvenating, you know?
After tasting your goodies, I'm 100% sold on trying that pie.
Uh, and the macaroons might be almost gone...
Move in with me?
Your cookie dough balls look so cute. Mine are going to be joining yours soon (I'll be sure to give you a shout out). Can we arrange a play date? ;)
no bake pumpkin pie! thanks!! i've been wanting to make one, and the stove broke a few days ago!
You definitely had a delicious week! And hell yes for Chaturangas :)
HOOOORRAAYYYY for loving the yoga studio! OMG that makes me so happy to hear! And that you are going back this morning? Definitely proof that it was great. Hope it wasn't too far from home and that they keep you feeling challenged!
Have a great bloggie meet up, be sure to share some pics!
HOLLA for some well deserved mama alone time - I'm right there with ya.
I savor the 30 minutes I spend each morning drinking my coffee while surfing the web. Dorky, but oh so relaxing!
Droolworthy, as usual!
I am still in awe of the pumpkin pie!
How did I miss that pumpkin pie recipe?! That is my FAVORITE holiday dessert! :)

Mine is the same. I LOVE my along time in the mornings. My husbands sleeps later than I do so I get to wake up and relax and everything is quiet and calm. I can make my coffee and sit back and catch up on things. I really love it. Im definently into the raw pasta and marinara. Oh so yummy. Its a constant staple for me. i just find it super delish and fast to for a quick din after work. Have a super Sunday!
Hi Averie, I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!
I really heart this pumpkin pie and it is so easy to make! Also, these cookies look great and they are super fast - made and ready to eat! YUMMMM

Hi Averie!
I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday!!!
Today I'm going to make more snowballs, and maybe even try the pumpkin pie! I love your desserts so much!
And only a few more days until my very own spiralizer comes! I cannot wait to shred and spiral my very own Averie-inspired veggies!!!!
I have already petitioned Go Max Go to come out with some dairy-free Butterfinger bars, hopefully they put a move on it! That looks too good.
I just drooled on myself a little -- and by a little, I mean a lot.
I keep meaning to ask you pooks -- how often do you practice yoga?! as in .. how many times a week? how many hours a day? etc. etc. do you teach classes? I'm so nosey.
happy sunday girlfriend!
