Hey everyone! Happy Sunday ๐ Hope youโre having a fabulous weekend.
Here are some of the foodie goods from the past couple of days:

Chocolate oats with brown rice protein, banana, raw cacao powder, cinnamon, Stevia and almond butter
Snacks:
Maryโs crack with leftover vegan artichoke dip
Beasts:
Mixed greens with goat jack cheese, Goddess dressing, raw cauliflower and bell pepper
Treats:
Air popped organic popcorn with cinnamon and vegan chocolate chips
A cupcake from THE TWINS! I was so happy to see their beautiful faces again ๐ They stopped by and stayed for a night on their way to Florida and we stayed up until 2am chatting and drinking some of this:
Drinkies
Red vino ๐
I had a blasty hanging out with them -sorry for no pics, they left early this morning and I was groggy and in my jammies when I said goodbye.
But hereโs a blast from the past:
And they were so sweet to bring me a bunch of goodies to try! Iโll be indulging in many Pure2Raw treats in the near future ๐
I have to tell ya that the lemon cupcake (pic above) was absolutely delicious. The pilot and I couldnโt believe that it was gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free and peanut-free because it was the lightest, moistest and fluffiest thing. If you or anyone you know has food allergies, definitely check out their bakery website!
So my running plans for today were squashed due to the crazy rain weโre having, so Iโll be hitting up the revolving apparatus of death (treadmill), and working on that project thatโs taking FOREVER!
But first, shopping with Jeni ๐
See ya tonight!
xoxo,
Gina

That cupcake looks delicious! THe top almost looks streusel like?
YAAAY so fun that you got to spend time with Michelle and Lori ๐
Ugh- Iโm so with you on hating the treadmill! I got up extra early based on the forecast so I could run before the rain (and still got dumped on a little). Yummy eats- ESPECIALLY the arti dip. Enjoy your day ๐
Good luck on that project! Iโm here when you need an extra set of eyes. Nothing on mine yet, but it hasnโt even been a week, so Iโm being patient ๐
Great eats. Absolutely love the blog. Love it ๐
The eats are just fabulous in this post! Love the popcorn and the cupcake ๐
raining here too! Iโm trying to get the energy to get on the treadmill myself. Blah. Your treats look yummy!!!
Oh yum, those eats look so good! I need that vegan artichoke dip in my life, stat!
wow! all your eats look great and that cupcake looks delishhhh ๐
jenna
Heck yes for great times with great friends. Looks like you had a wonderful time!
Love the idea of popcorn with chocolate chips + cinnamon. Iโll have to give that a shot.
Still need to try that awesome popcorn combo!
Hope you have a good productive day!
Sweet potatoes in oats?? LOVE that idea!
The Twins are adorable as is that cupcake!
How did you make your artichoke dip w/o cheese and mayo? I love the stuff, but obviously itโs usually not vegan friendly.
itโs super easy- the recipe is in eat, drink and be vegan but itโs basically artichokes, garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs
The Doublemint twins are cute; glad yawl had a good visit.I need to tell my sister in Cali about their bakery b/c she & daughter are gluten-soy free. Finally saw New Moon yesterday; I thought better than Twilight. (Didnโt seem like 2 hrs long.)See ya @training tomorrow.
ohhhhโฆcupcakesโฆsounds awesome!
yeah they eats all look great but what Iโm really loving is that SCARF! so fabulous. Whereโd you buy?!
old navy! i never find ANYTHING there, and then i saw that scarf and had to have it ๐
All that food looks fantastic! I gotta try that Popcorn combo -OH MY!
dear gina,
iโve recently started becoming more and more vegetarian-cutting out red meat/chicken. but, iโm having a hard time getting enough protein. i eat lotts of veggies and fruit, but i am lost when it comes to getting enough protein. iโm really tired of relying on nut butters/nuts for protein. its making me gain weight and feel lethargic. i would love it if you gave me some good protein sources you eat regularly that arenโt nut-based!
thanks!
hey jackie,
thatโs why i upped my egg/goat cheese/fish intakeโ i wasnโt getting nearly enough protein for my active lifestyle on a vegan diet. it is possible for many people, but wasnโt working well for me. i would recommend those 3 if you still eat eggs/fish/cheese, and if not, brown rice protein (sun warrior) and hemp protein are excellent sources.
hope this helps a little!
Ok, sounds great that really helps! Do you eat tofu? I try to, but itโs such a pain to make and no one in my family likes it! I have Jarrowโs formula brown rice proteinโฆwhat makes Sun Warrior better?
thanks so much for the advice, i will follow it!
sun warrior is good because its raw, but any brand should be fine
no i donโt eat tofu as i try to avoid most soy products, but its a great source of protein as well. try getting the silken kind and adding it to smoothies, or adding sweetener and fruit to make a โpuddingโ ๐
LOVE sweet potato oats, and you know Iโm here for project help if you needโฆ i only charge macaroons ๐
hahah i think i could arrange that ๐
Why are party leftovers the best thing everrrr!!? Haha one more reason to add to the list of party awesomeness. Hope u had a good sunday G!!
seriously.. i love all leftovers though ๐
Weโre having all the crazy random rain here in Jax, too! BOOOOOOO. I hate rain. I want it to just be sunny and cold till spring, haha.
I am so loving all your eats! that cupcake looks so decadent!
Your salad looks amazing, can I get one of those.
Hey Gina, can you give us a link to Maryโs Crack again? I canโt seem to find it.
sure! http://www.marysgonecrackers.com/ns/intro2.php
Wowโฆyour oats with the almond butter spread alllll over the top looks mouthwatering.
I just tried my first Maryโs Gone Crackers thanks to you. Delightful! I got the black pepper version. Pricey, but yummy. I brought some for hummus for a snack today. ๐
yes they are pricey, but i consider it an investment ๐
