Just Another Macaroon Monday (Giveaway)

September 13, 2010 |

Hi guys!! Happy Monday! How’s your morning going??

Last night, while watching the VMAs, my sweet tooth came and hit me in the face. Usually I’ll have a cup of tea and think it over, but I knew it wasn’t messing around 😉

So I made a small batch (1/2 the recipe) of Julie’s flourless peanut butter cookies

cookie dough

They were Gina-fied by using a flax egg, Sucanat for the sugar and added a pinch of sea salt, some vanilla, vegan chocolate chips and cinnamon

Holy deliciousness.

cookies

There are few things in this world as good as milk and cookies 😉

While the Pilot was eating one, in between moaning, he said, “What IS this?”

Me: Flourless vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Pilot: Whatever they are, they’re evil

I think he liked them 🙂 (Thanks for the recipe, Julie!)

We called it a night, and after hitting snooze at least four times this morning, I was ready for b-fast.

HOT oat bran!

Looks like Fall is really here 🙂

-1/3 C oat bran

-water

-1 scoop Vanilla Sun Warrior

-1/2 organic peach

-vanilla, pinch sea salt and cinnamon

-Almond milk to thin it out

Amazin’.

So, in the midst of our house being in shambles from packing, we have a situation over here.

Not this situation:

THIS situation:

roons

a dehydrator full of roons!

Some are for Sana (I traded her for some TJs goodies), some are for a client, and some are for one of YOU 🙂

Want some roons?

Just leave a comment stating something that you’re excited about right now.

I’ll go first: I’m excited to be able to take power yoga whenever I want to in Orlando 🙂

Winner will be chosen tomorrow morning before I post (we’ll say about 8AM EST).

xoxo,

Gina

  20. Jillian on September 13, 2010 at 5:00 pm

    I’m looking forward to my doctor’s appointment on Wednesday. I found out that I have melanoma 10 days ago and haven’t been told any more information since then. I am ready to know more about my cancer so I can kick it in the booty!



    • Fitnessista on September 13, 2010 at 7:44 pm

      you WILL kick its booty



      • Jillian on September 13, 2010 at 8:21 pm

        I sure hope so! I’m young (only 24) and relatively healthy so I’ve got that on my side. Can I share something strange? I’ve stopped working out since I found out about the cancer. I know it’s not realistic but I feel like if I work out and get the blood flowing, it will make the cancer travel to other organs faster. I can’t seem to get over that and get myself to the gym. Feels good to say it out loud (or type it in this case).
