I saw the live feed on the right hand side of the screen... I look like a stalker! I'm really enjoying your site. :) Just made the chocolate chip cookie balls. YUM. Eyeballing the sugar snap pea recipe now.

I'm always looking for new salad dressings! I need to go buy some tahini...I had a bad experience with it once and have been scared to use it again :( I will try it now!

Yummmy snowballs. Those look ooey gooey and delicious.

Have a good night!

I made tahini dressing today too, but it wasn't that thrilling... I think I may take your idea to add some vegenaise! It makes everything taste better, does it not? ;)

I love half moon pose but I don't think my legs feel the same way. Do you usually flow from half moon to standing split? Every class I have ever taken flows like that and I hate standing split. I need a new way to flow. Any tips?

Congrats on the yoga gig. I knew you would get it.

Love the pottery making. I used to have a bit of a paint 'n pottery addiction myself. Some of it has been seen displaying food on my blog.

How did you get your hands on all these new Larabar flavors? They just carry the basics around here. I can understand the crumbling factor, as certain ingredients just have a tendency to do that.

For example, I ended up with some different textures when I made my raw play dough. I think the apricot one was the crumbliest.

Have fun at your pottery class! I seriously can't wait to hear about this possible yoga job!

I've never been a big pottery girl, but my mom did teach me how to knit when I was little and I love nothing more than zoning out in front of the tv and knitting up a storm!

Just catching up now baby -- I am SO excited for you on the possible job opportunity :) I had a good feeling about your job apps -- don't know why.. Just call me miss cleo :)

that is absolutely adorable that you are the peanut are going to a pottery class!! Can't wait to see what you whip up! Perhaps a new oats bowl?!

I [ try ] to be a creative person. In HS I was really involved in the art program in my school -- unfortunately at college I haven't had the same opportunites :( it's sad really, I'm thinking of taking some classes at the art studio in my town but they are crazy expensive. Perhaps that should go on my christmas list :) hmmmm...

Okay this comment is a legit novel -- ciao for now love!

Averie I made the chocolate coconut snowballs yesterday and it turned out amazing! I thought they tasted better when frozen/refridgerated because the flavors kind of absorbed together. It's so delish!

Re: your kale chips, BEST NEW RECIPE I have tried in ages. You are a genius. I can't stop shoving them in my face!!

2009-11-11T08:03:16.176-08:00

Thanks for the tahini recipe! My very first cooking effort with tahini went into the trash after two bites; I was following a recipe that ought to be outlawed for screwing up something as fabulous as sesame. Your dressing sounds great and I've got what I need to make it. Must overcome recently-acquired tahini aversion!

2009-11-11T07:48:30.894-08:00

Half moon and triangle are my two fave poses!

And what awesome dressing. I'm thinking about a new tahini variation soon -- I've been craving it lately :)

2009-11-11T07:32:15.286-08:00

hahah I love your link back to the post on the vanilla bourbon from TJ's. "Any extract will do....a shot of bourbon wouldn't hurt either" teeheee...is there something else you add to that softserve we don't know about? :P I have only tried banana soft serve once and it didn't exactly work out the way i planned. My blender apparently has blades that go up too high and the banana doesn't get there so all i get are unblended bananas at the bottom of my blender. hahah Lame huh?

Averie, how do you get through all your daily raw goodies??? I mean, if it were me I'd just sit there and eat until the whole batch is gone, but I'm assuming you don't do that. hahah Where does it go?? Lucky neighbors??

I LOVE multi-colored potatoes, and you cut them up into THE perfect size. I'm so tempted to go buy some potatoes this weekend...especially the purple ones. :) Have a wonderful day Averie!!

i never have commented on your yoga poses at the end of each post (WHICH I LOVE) and I love this pose! this and pigeon and warrior 2= three of my favorties! I wish I lived close so I could take your yoga class!! that dressing sounds amazing, I always have tahini in my house bc my father is israeli so he always mixes it in his hummus...I can't wait to make it!

so cute about the pottery class! that will be so fun!!

I wonder if TJ's knows how much the blogging world is in love with them?

This pottery class sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to hear all about it :) Such a relaxing activity.

2009-11-11T06:20:08.290-08:00

Your snap pea salad looks crisp and yummy, little Skylar is WAY too adorable, and those snowballs look decadent!

I take a mommy & me gym class with my 4th kiddo, too cute.
He basically chases me around the gym for an hour :)

Good luck with the new job prospect! Hope it works out well for you. With all these incredible poses you twist yourself into, you should have your own yoga studio...you're amazing!

Love sugar snap peas.. your salad looks super yum.

Pottery class sounds awesome.. I took classes when I was a teenager but haven't done anything in awhile. I'm not very artsy but I do enjoy making jewelry (uh very simple jewelry) every now and again. Its easy and a lot cheaper than stuff you see in little boutiques!

Happy hump day Averie :)

A pottery class sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to hear how it goes. Skylar is the perfect age to start enjoying activities like that.

That salad looks amazing! I love the idea of adding agave nectar into the dressing.

2009-11-11T03:37:33.207-08:00

I really liked that Tropical Fruit Larabar but YES it was sort of crumbly and dry. I was surprised by the pineapple flavor and really like it!

What a great mommy and me day out, my girls would love that!

When does Skylar turn 3? I know you've said before she's 2.75 - her bday must be coming up soon?

Sadly, I am out of tahini. My goal for tomorrow is to restock. Well, that and fold some laundry and take a shower. But tahini is at the top of the list.

gah! i misssss you lady! i am back now though. i did a quick read of your SEVEN posts i missed! so, i am in love with what you have been creating. dude, how is that cookbook coming?! that pumpkin pie looked incredible. skylar is a doll! i got like 4 of the items you got at TJs while i was in cali. i LOVE that chutney! i got the apple cranberry chutney as well. <3 glad to be back.. xoxo

2009-11-10T20:40:09.433-08:00

Yay! I've been wanting to know what kind of coconut you use!
I used the blue and white sweetened bag from the regular grocery the first and second time I made them (the bag made about two batches.) But then this time I went for the store's generic brand as it was slightly less sweetened and seemed flakier. But the batch was just not right. I couldn't even get it to form a ball to save my life.
I think I'll stick with the blue and white bag, and just save it for a special treat when I need a little sug. Thanks for answering my question! Hope you guys had fun at pottery class!

I am not too creative as some people, but I have my moments! So excited for you that you get to teach yoga!! Have a great class.
