Happy WIAW!!
Today is just gonna be a shorty post. as I type it is increasingly late on Tuesday night and I have procrastinated on hw to the point where if its not due tomorrow, its not getting done. I need sleep and fast!!
At my house, we almost always have some form of dessert around! Between cravings and a love for sweet cooking, this comes as no suprise. Its a daily occurance. We typically keep them on the healthier side, but do indulge now and then! As evidenced by this week’s photos, the dessert monsters are in full force lately. I think we have at least 3 options in the fridge right now….
Moral of this WIAW: Life’s short, eat dessert first. And also for lunch/breakfast/dinner/snack. You know what? Just eat some dessert now kay? (bonus if it has hidden veggies, like most of mine do, and its a healthy habit then right?)
Heather’s Pumpkin Pie French Toast became a brunchy-lunch (Yes, I had more. It was delicious)
Post-run on Sunday I decided to refuel with, well, dessert. Chocolate-pumpkin avocado mousse and a pumpkin scone (twas a mix)
A new recipe in the works for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies! They were allllmost there! Just need more sweet, but were awesome topped with pumpkin butter!
Okay you caught me, I do eat savory food (sometimes) and veggies. Like this (weekly) salad from Dos Coyotes! A rainbow of fresh, local veggies atop beans and corn tortillas plus cranberry salsa. The staff knows our order by heart. Oops 😉
And this one night when I got really ambitious and made a homecooked meal! We’ve been vegan almost 3 years and this is the first time we’ve made the stereotypical lentil loaf haha! I bumped it up by adding some good spices, quinoa, carrot, fennel, celery and mushrooms, and made 2 batches so 1 is in the freezer for our Thanksliving celebration! Also, mashed potatoes with chickpea gravy and veggies. Comfort food on rainy days at its finest!
And potatoes. Always
Ever dipped kabocha in apple butter? Please, please do. Heaven.
Look! I even had a wheagrass shot at work!
…and leftover chocolate cake from a potluck for when I got home. #balance 😉
This was OK, but not my fav flavors for chocolate. I’m gonna bake with it instead hehehe
And last but not least, Pumpkin Pie. My mom is trialing our Thanksliving spread, so we currently have an awesome pie in our fridge (love you so much mom!). Buuut I don’t have a pic, so you get the recipe for last year’s Un-Pumpkin pie!
Why do I keep calling it Thanksliving?
Because we are giving thanks for all life this holiday. On saturday we are going to Farm Sanctuary to celebrate the turkeys that lived and give them a feast of their own! So excited!
ALSO! My laptop died on me (whomp whomp) So I am transfered to my desktop for now, meaning my race recap is further pushed back die to photo storage (sorry). Plus I missed the date to pick winners for my AMAZING GRASS GIVEAWAY, so I am extending it to this weekend! YAY more chances to enter!! Good luck!!
Sweet or Savory??
Life Hands You Limes 
All those desserts look delicious! I am looking forward to the recipe for the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies; I am sure they are quite tasty. I have never tried dipping kabocha squash in apple butter, but I would love to experiment with it sometime! I will have to check out that giveaway, now that I have a chance to enter. I hope you are having a great week so far!
Desserts are my favorite, anytime of the day! I pretty much always healthify my desserts in some way, by adding veggies or only sweetening with stevia or dates, so I never feel bad about enjoying them every day. I love all things seasonal so I may just have to try that chocolate bar, but maybe I’ll use it to bake with too. And the apple butter+kabocha combo sounds amazing–I need more apple butter stat!
WOW I want that salad.. Haha (: You are so creative with your meals!! That really stinks about your laptop 😦 I hope you get it figured out!
Crossing my fingers you share the lentil meatloaf recipe! It looks fantastic.
Aww, thanks so much for the link love, sweets! I’ve been meaning to make that French toast again for weeks now! Love all the eats…and I do mean LOVE!! Pumpkin blondies? Pumpkin PIE? Salads with cranberry salsa? Kabocha dipped in apple butter?! HOW have I never thought of that?! Brilliant m’dear…absolutely brilliant!
And I have to say sweet AND savory!!
