Coconutty goodness
Hey hey hey 😀 Hope your Friday is treating you well! Some friends have let me know that the new bloggy has dropped off Google reader planet– there’s a button on the right-hand corner now if you’d like to re-subscribe. You know how much I adore each and every one of you and would greatly miss your faces 😉
I did lounge by the pool for a while –did the read until I’m sweating, dunk in the pool to cool off, repeat combo– and then came inside for a snack before going to work.
Little figgies:
And a delicious Larabar:
I went into work to train my funny quotes lady and had to tell her I’m leaving for school in 2 weeks. It kinda bummed me out a lot –I’m going to miss her- but we’ll start training again when I get back and I told her she could text me anytime and that I’d give her workouts to do while I’m gone.
I FINALLY decided on a dessert to take to the squadron party tonight from this cookbook:
Great EASY entertaining recipes!
Chocolate Macaroon Pizza:
I made them in bar form instead of pizza form.
Before the chocolate drizzle:
After the chocolate drizzle:
All cut up and ready to take:
Check out these LAYERS!
Brownie crust, coconutty goodness on top. And I just had a foodgasm 😉
A little perk-me-up:
I’m a strong believer in buying yourself flowers. For around $10, it’s a great way to cheer up a room and I love having fresh flowers in the house 😉
I went to train my second appointment for the day and went to the squadron party, which was a lot of fun. I held a lot of cute babies (don’t tell the pilot) and chilled with the girls. I did have a couple bites of a coconut bar and it was blissfully delicious and some unpictured hogcorn (popcorn popped with jalapenos..a fighter pilot tradition).
Our drive home may have had a liquor store interlude:
Guilty!
2 bottles of organic wine to have in the casa and I poured myself a hefty glass when we got home. It’s Friday, eh?
Dinner was a Sunshine burger with Annie’s ketchup:
And roasted veggies:
I burnt myself on the pan and dropped the “F” bomb. I used to be so proper but being married to a pilot has taken that away from me 😉
Well I’m off to finish my glass of vino, curl up with the pilot and watch a movie. There’s a 5k race in the morning that I’ve been planning on running, but it’s supposed to be storming, so we’ll see if I go. I’ll run in a rain, but not in a crazy thunderstorm!
Have a great night <3
xoxo,
Gina
Shout out to Jennie in Wonderland who made my shimp recipe! 😀

Wow, those chocolate coconut bars look amazing! I may or may not have just googled the recipe, but I better not make them because I would probably eat them all. Chocolate and coconut – yummmmm! I’m sure they were a big hit!
Hey gorgeous, love the new site. It looks great. I’m enjoying our night after a little stop at 5-points…Love you!
Ok I am so glad you’re back. Well, you never really left, but for me you did. Because you dropped off googlereader. Cool, I am resubscribed. Your new blog is definitely cleaner and really pretty. The same, yet just improved a little, nice goin 🙂 The coconut bars look food-gasmic. Wow. It’s ok I drop the F bomb like 17 times a day. What can I say, I used to drop it 47 times a day so I’m getting better with age. I can’t believe you’re off to school in 2 weeks. I remember when you announced it, it seemed like “forever into the future”. Well forever’s here, isn’t it. Best of luck. If I didnt have a small child, I would lovvvvvve to attend. 8 yrs ago when I got certified to be a yoga teacher I went away to Costa Rica for 5 weeks. I am so happy for you:)
Those coconut bars look AMAZING! Coconut and chocolate together makes any day better.
Love the new blog look, very sleek and fun. Hope you have a great weekend!
ahhhh school in two weeks! can i just say that you are going to do great things?? you are already a raw genius. this week i have made both the raw pad thai and the raw caesar dressing and they were both SO spot on and delicious. i can’t even imagine what you’ll do after getting some training. write a cookbook… i would buy it. haha.

I just jumped on the bandwagon and subscribed to your new and improved blog (Thanks twitter :D) I love it!! I am a huuge believer in the flowers too, plus they just perk up blog photos amazingly..

Those roasted veggies just seem to be calling my name!!!!!!
Ok, dumb question.. but exactly how do you roast veggies.. And what veggies are best roasted? I have only had them when others did it.
Its been a while since you mentioned that popcorn.:)
Sounds like the squadron party was fun. Enjoy the weekend…
The new site looks so great, Gina! It’s very readable and nice to look at. Speaking of nice to look at, I want those amazing macaroons! Yum.

OMG – those bars look absolutely amazing! would you be able to share the recipe? 🙂

hey girl! i can’t post the recipe because it’s in a published cookbook, but a little bird told me that if you google it, it will come up 😉
wow…now that looks GOOD! i hope the storm held off for your run! I was not as lucky this morning and was stuck inside on the boring treadmill 🙁
Love the new site!!! I like that you kept a lot of the same personality from the old one 🙂
I totally agree on buying yourself flowers. Money well spent in my opinion 🙂
