I actually can't remember when I had these meals so they're all out of order, oh well.
I wanted to try out the Dandies Vegan Marshmallows I got in the mail the other day and what better way then to add them to oatmeal? S'More Oatmeal that is.-1/2 cup oat bran + 1 1/2 cups water
-2 large scoops Pbu
-1 scoop Artisana Cacao Bliss
-1 Vegan Marshmallow
This combination was delightful! Everything was so creamy and sweet, I nearly licked the bowl! Dandies Vegan Marshmallows are AMAZING. They taste just like 'regular' marshmallows and would be great on oats, sandwiches, s'mores, or just eating plain! I had another one by itself and it was like a little pillow of love on my tongue ;)
Green Monster...-1 cup water
-1/2 cup fresh strawberries
-1 scoop Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein Powder
- 3 huge handfuls baby spinach
...Along with some Almond Butter Toast. I tried out Justin's Maple Almond Butter that I got samples of from my local Farmer's Market, and it was delicious! I didn't really get a strong maple flavor (like Might Maple PB) but it wasn't bad. I would buy this again, maybe even a jar of it next time, since I had to basically turn the squeeze packet inside out to get all the delicious stuff out!
Hugh Jass Salad.-butter lettuce
-steamed broccoli
-carrots
-steamed b-nut squash cubes
-avocado
-Zukay Sweet Onion Basil dressing
I really liked this flavor dressing. It was definitely more sweet than tangy, with a pleasant hint of basil in every bite. I think its my favorite so far.
This was part of tonight's dinner. A Ballpark Italian Sausages from HH's e-book Backyard Vegan. These were super-simple to make and very tasty! I liked the fennel and italian spices, which made it taste very identical to a sausage. Another winner from HH...can she do no wrong?!
With the hotdog, I made Coconut Basmati Rice and steamed Zucchini. For the Coconut Rice I just combined 1 cup brown basmati rice with 1 can lite coconut milk and 1/2 cup water in my rice cooker. After it did it's thing, I had fluffy, sweet rice that cooled my mouth after that spicy sausage. Yummy.I'm a Celebrity is on tonight! Woo! I'm so addicted to this show...and not afraid to admit it! haha
Then I think I'll watch Waking Up in Vegas, I hope its funny. Have a great evening loves <3

My favorite thing to do on a gloomy day -- which is the entire winter in California -- is to sleep.
Your s'mores oatmeal looks irresistible! What a glorious breakfast to look forward to each morning. Lovely :)
Its gloomy here too, but very rainy, wet, and kinda cold! My fave indoor activities include yoga, watching DVD's, making collages, doing stuff in my journal, etc. Tea is necessary too!
Love ya shelbz <3
wow! great eats! i must make that coconut rice. looks so good. i love finding ways to use lite coconut milk.

I just bought some of the marshmallows and some Teese online last night! I can't wait to get them :D
now that oatmeal is the definition of holy yum.
i agree that Justin's has a subtle maple flavor compared to pb & co.
great eats girlie!
PB packets are nice and all but the squeezing is the worst part! I end up using my teeth to get the last bits out (and promptly into my mouth of course)!
Gloomy days: PJs and movies :)
s'more oatmeal.. you've done it again girl - i officially have an uncontrollable urge to lick the screen =)
Rainy days are perfect for curling up on the couch with a book

Shelbs! I just got caught up on your life, and you got the MOST AMAZING packages! Ahhh! I also love the sweetP toast and PBU!
Um, those oats look outrageous. Oh shoot! I've been meaning to tell you that when I'm at work, your blog always pops up in my Google Alerts for "vegan"! I love it!
I bought the Justin's maple AB, and I couldn't really detect the maple flavor -- but I agree that it was still delicious!
I've also been meaning to make seitan sausages like that for AGES. Years, probably. Ah, well -- someday.
all of your eats today seriously look sooo amazing. my tounge was salivating!!
i love to have hot baths and pamper myself on gloomy days. if I have money, i will go get a mani/pedi or dye my hair!!
Shelby,
My favorite gloomy day activity is to nap. :)
It was super humid here today, but we've had lots of rain. It's been very weird weather wise - sunshine one minute and tornado warnings and storms the next. Bizarre.
I can't wait to try Emily's PBU - I bet it tasted great on your oats, and I loved your Hugh Jass - so green. My kind of salad.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Your s'mores oatmeal looks FANTASTIC! S'mores are great anytime of day and I'm sure having them for breakfast is delicious! I honestly don't think I can hold out on buying Dandies much longer...
Yay you made coconut rice!
I think reading, napping, and watching movies are great rainy day activities. :-)
Love your s'more oats!
Those oats look so good! I love the smores theme. The rice looks so fluffy, too! Yum :D
My favorite thing to do on a rainy day is curl up with a good book, tea, and a blanket :)
Shelby! That smores oatmeal looks....amazing! Well, your oatmeal always does, and I feel like i'm seeing a new concoction everyday!
And on gloomy days, I love laying around in sweat pants, eating hot foods (whether it be soup, oatmeal, tea, etc...) and watching movies/tv with my fam or friends!! I just like being all warm and cozy, inside!
hey cutie, i love your s'mores oats! and your coconut rice - brilliant. basmati is my favorite.
it was gloomy/humid today too...i decided to spend my day shopping. then a little yoga, dvd watching and blog reading. it was okay :) but the humid can go away, now.
love you,
brooke
p.s i watch that show too !!! addiction.
On gloomy days, I love nothing more than parking my butt in front of the computer! Sad, right? I also like reading on the couch and napping with the kitties :)
Your VS shadow palette sounds so pretty! Do they still have it? I like their lipsticks!
Also...I noticed that Justin's wasn't really bringin the maple flave as well. Still really good tho!
mmm smores oatmeal!

Hmmm....we've been having gloomy days for like....weeks. Its raining here today. I love the rain though. I guess because it feels like an excuse to stay at home and do nothing. So I'd probably be watching TV, or a movie, or would be on my computer. Wow, I am so exciting.
Your smores oats look aaawesome!!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment you left on my blog. You have no idea how much it means to me to know that I have so much support from all of you girls. You're an inspiration girl :) All of your eats look faaaabulous, as usual! Quick question...do you usually have the green monster as a snack by itself, or along with a meal? I seem to get full SO quick from smoothies, but I'd love to try one of these! Thanks! :)
I agree that HH can do no wrong!
And it's been miserable here, too. My favorite thing to do in this weather is to stay inside and read, but I've been way too busy!
the s'more oatmeal looks delicious. with cacao bliss and marshmallows...how could that NOT taste amazing?! and coconut basmati rice with a sausage sounds great. you're making me want lunch now, and i only finished breakfast about an hour ago! haha!
yummy, teh green monster sounds great!
Wow- all your eats look amazing! S'mores for b-fast works for me :-)
Gloomy day (if I wasn't working) would be best spent cleaning, gym session (to perk me up) and reading a great book :-)
Great blog too!!
Its been raining here today...but I worked last night so it was perfect for sleeping! Usually I like to lounge around and watch TV and play with the pups though
I tried the Justin's Maple AB this morning at work and I thought it was ok. It is definately not Mighty Maple, thats for sure! I have another packet so I'll have to give it another try
Love the Smores oatmeal!
My favorite thing to do on a gloomy day is to read or watch movies.
those marshmallows look so cute! i need to try smores oats soon. I think I have everything BUT marshmallows.
I have been tearing up the green monster smoothies! Great stuff. You sausages look outstanding too! It seems like everyone is making them now.
What a fun way to enjoy those marshmallows! If I can manage to save any next time I order, I'll have to try that.
Smores oatmeal & coconut rice? Yum :D
As for rainy, gloomy days - I love to stay inside, in my pj's all day. Perhaps curled up under a blanket reading, baking, or cooking soup :)
