Get ready for another lengthy post!
On Friday I went grocery shopping. From left to right:Frozen Pineapple Tidbits, Organic Gala Apples, Sprouted 7-Grain Bread, Organic Baby Carrots, Organic Red Bell Pepper, Organic Baby Spinach and Romaine, Shredded Spoonfuls, Organic Blackberries, and... 
Raw Creamy Unsalted Almond Butter and Pineapple Salsa.
I was pretty hungry when I got home so I made something quick in my pretty new bowl from Target <3
All that's in there is...
Today's breakfast was so delicious. I've missed my Cereal Bowls!
Rice Crispies. One of my very favorite treats of all time. They are gooey, chewy, and sweet. A perfect afternoon snack or dessert. When I got a sample of Dandies Vegan Marshmallows, I just had to make some! I used the recipe from ED&BV, replacing the Earth Balance with Coconut Oil. The marshmallows melted perfectly and coated each rice crisp with a sugary sweet fluff. My little brothers devoured the plate before I could get any =( Guess they were good?
I also was lucky enough to sample some Temptation Ice Cream (also by the Chicago Soy Dairy, where I am now employed). The flavor was chocolate and the taste was sinful! Of course I liked it though, my mom said, I'm used to this stuff. So I gave it to my little brother to try it (okay, it totally sounds like I feed them so much sweets and that they are my guinea pigs but they eat their veggies too!). He tried to run away to his room to polish off the pint, but I caught him just in time. Hopefully we can make it last longer than 2 days!
Seriously...Bloo's eyes were open, and then right as I pushed the button he closed them. What a dork.
Sweet Potato and I, being lovie. I may or may not have edited this photo.
Raw Creamy Unsalted Almond Butter and Pineapple Salsa.
I was pretty hungry when I got home so I made something quick in my pretty new bowl from Target <3
All that's in there is...-1/4 cup (dry) bulgar
-1/3 cup corn
-couple spoonfuls Pineapple Salsa
-scoop Homemade Hummus
-1/2 an avocado
Simple and very delicious.
Today's breakfast was so delicious. I've missed my Cereal Bowls!-Kamut Puffs
-Shredded Spoonfuls
-blackberries
-Chocolate Abu (wait, what?!)
-hemp seeds
Yes, you read that right. Chocolate Abu! I took the whole jar of TJ's Creamy AB, 1 container of Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk, 2 packets of stevia, and blended until very creamy and frothy. After storing it overnight in the fridge, it thickened up a tiny bit while still allowing me to drizzle it on top of my breakfast. I also took a sip plain (just like Maggie, who I got this whole idea from) and it was like a thick, creamy milkshake! Yum!

Very pretty header - it looks very professional.
How's the pineapple salsa? Fruit salsas always intrigue me, yet I never purchase/make them.
you and those kitties are too cute for words! And I am loving that TJ run you made! All good buys in my opinion
Yayy for birthdays! I love love love birthdays...they're just the best esp when it's someone else's bday!
P.S. how do you make PBU or ABU? Is it just mixing the peanut butter with almond milk?
I LOVE Trader Joe's Pineapple Salsa. I always go through the jar so fast.

Yummilicious looking foodstuff too, you always have such nice recipes/ideas/etc!
Hm, almost your birthday you say? I hope that the month leading up to it is an awesome one!

Fabulous groceries and eats!! I love the idea of chocolate ABU/PBU. And the rice crispies are fantastic. Great idea using vegan marshmallows.
My mom always says the same thing--that vegan/soy/alternative dairy stuff tastes good to ME because Im used to it...I wish she would actually *try* some of the goodness!
Love the kittens <3
aww shelby i LOVE the new layout!! its really cute and summery.
your so creative with how your use your nut butters!! and those rice krispies look perfect. I love baked vegan goods - they are usually more natural than store bought thats for sure.
have a fabulous day :D
Love the new look, the new bowl, the new job updates, and those amazing rice krispie treats!!
Chocolate PBU, rice krispie treats, and chocolate Temptation ice cream- YUM! It all sounds great to me!
My parents would always say that vegan versions of foods taste good to me only because I'm used to it, but that was until my mom developed a dairy intolerance and tried some soy ice cream. She buys some every week now and actually hides it from me so I don't finish it all! I guess as long as we know that vegan food is truley delicious then that's all that matters :)
I spy some TJs Faux-zekiel! I love that bread!! I'm almost out :(
I'm liking the new look, girl! Glad the rice krispies and the soy cream went over well! You and the kitties are looking cute but I want to see a picture of the new 'do!! Have a great Sunday!
you are amazing. there's nothing else to say! that cereal looks delicious. and pineapple salsa sounds great. speaking of great...so is your job! :)

Great new look! And great food, as always. :)
