So the theme of this post is breakfast. I didn't have time to snap pictures of all my other meals and breakfast was the most decadent and delicious anyway.
Oatgurt with Almond Milk, Sauteed Plantains, Shredded Coconut, Artisana Cacao Bliss.
Sprouted Grain Toast spread with Hazelnut Butter and topped the shredded coconut.
Coconut Rice with Hazelnut Butter, Artisana Cacao Bliss, Shredded Coconut.As you can see, I might be a little bit obsessed with coconut at the moment. It just reminds me that it is still summer and I should enjoy what's left of it. I also adore the texture it gives to otherwise plain meals.
Sorry to cut this short, I have things to do, people to see...
-work @ 9am until 4pm
-shower
-eat dinner
-friends house
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Do anything fun?

Best meal of the day!!!!
Hazelnut butter looks delightful! You sounds very busy! I slept too much/not enough this weekend (14 hours one night, 3 the next), and that was about it. Just trying to recover from that.
wow you must have been super busy!!!! Your job sounds fun though :)
Those sauteed plantains sound delicious in there! I love eating raw coconut (idk if that's weird or not lol). If you eat just a little section, it's the perfect snack! Didn't do anything too fun this weekend.. I made a scrapbook for my mom's bday.. and it made me realize how much i don't like crafts hehe. Have a great Monday!

I love coconut, too! It always adds a great flavor boost. Your coconut rice looks amazing! Have a great day :)
I bet that toast with coconut and hazelnut butter was amazing! I haven't tried hazelnut butter yet, but I know I would love it.
Looks yummy. It sounds like you had a great weekend! Outgurt sounds awesome. How can I get some?
You went to Lolla!? oh em gee my boyfriend decided not to go last minute & he was so bummed out ALL weekend lol I hope it was fun!-it's def not cheap. Ohhhh girlie I've missed commenting on your blog. I am LOVING the plantains in there-SO good! Happy belated birthday-so sorry I missed it!
i just had a sauteed plantain for the first time this morning! it was so good. i bet it's delicious with cacao bliss.
Hang in there with the busyness, love!
sounds like you are having such an awesome time!!
coconut is so amazing. i just love it! :) expecially when pineapple is dipped in fresh shredded coconut :) yumms!
Coconut is in, I guess! I had a young coconut for breakfast yesterday morning (I'm about to blog about it!)
Sounds delicious! By far, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. :) I've never had a plantain. I'll have to give them a try.
I'm completely obsessed with coconut too! It's just the best. It makes everything (well, maybe not everything...but almost everything)...taste better!
All of those breakfasts look great! And I think you've inspired me to go get some coconut- it might be just what my oatmeal needs!
I love coconut too...it makes almost any dish taste tropical with just a pinch or two of it.
I just used it last night to make some granola!
mmm! Plantains are now next on my grocery list.
Hope you're having a good time working even thought its been crazy!! Hear any good bands?
LOVE all of your breakfasts. I have got to try Coconut Rice!
Yummy breakfast! If I weren't so dang full from my overnight oats right now, I would be drooling all over the keyboard.
I love coconut rice! And plaintains! Cool incorporation of tropical eats :-)
Breakfast is the best anyway! Yum! I am glad you are enjoying the last bit of summer! Have fun!
I love all the coconut you're using! Coconut rice sounds delish :)
Thanks for the comment! :)
I have been obsessed with coconut too!! Coconut cream larabar = AMAZE!!
Hi Shelby! Mmm...I love coconut too. You remind me that it has been too long since I've made anything with it. I must pick some up this weekend...
By the way, you won a jar of Saucy Mama Marinade on my blog this week! http://bellaeats.com/2009/08/10/the-best-of-summer/ Send me an email with your address so I can get it out to you.
Have a wonderful weekend, m'dear!
I really want to try hazelnut butter. I recently tried sunflower seed butter and it is SO good. I can't eat peanut butter any more (it's my favorite too), so I've been trying other things. Everything else so far has been okay, but not great. I think I've seen you mention sunflower seed butter, but I don't remember. Mine is kind of runny, even after refrigerating and mixing. Is that normal? (It's annoying.) Good to see you posting again. :)
Yum, yum, and yum! Nothing wrong with coconut obsession- I have a feeling it's spreading around the vegan community like wildfire, what with all of the new coconut products to be found these days. Heck, I'm on the bandwagon for this one as well! ;)
Gorgeous breakfasts shel sweetie! Hello from Boston...
Oatgurt? Plantains? Coconut? Artisana nut butters? I'll be over in 5. ;)
What are your favorite desserts that you use applesauce in? I am in a baking mood and need some inspiration! Haha :)
Shelby,
I promise I haven't died and gone to blogger heaven. I just needed a wee break. But not from reading! I've been keeping up with everyone on my reader. :D
I am loving all of the coconut ideas. I just bought a giant bag of unsweetened coconut and I need all of the ideas I can get. :D
Happy to "see" you again,
Emily
Hello. I'm a first time commenter, but a long time lurker. :P
I just got a plantain and want to try your saute method, as I've only had baked before. They look delicious!
How would I go about making a baked version of this?
So many delicious coconut eats! I'm a coconut fiend as well, so I love it. You always make me want to make some coconut rice.
