Greetings!
We finally made it to bed last night at 1:30am and were up at 6am. Saaa-weet. ;)
You know I love my Green Monsters, Japanese Sencha green tea, and Vegan Overnight Oats in the morning, but I’m pretty sure there is no better way to start the day than a juicy mango.
Off. the. hook.
Mango > Cherries (this week, anyways)
I also made some Carob Pumpkin Vegan overnight oats to go along with it!
Carob Pumpkin Vegan Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 2 tbsp carob powder
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp almond buttahhhh
Directions: Whisk everything together except the almond buttahhhh in a small bowl and place in fridge for about 1/2 hour (or longer if preferred).
Fueled up and ready to fly!
We’re going to miss Sketchie dearly.
I think he is sad too.
He loves sleeping on paper, by the way. It’s like a nest. ;)
He is going to have tons of fun with grandma and grandpa…he just doesn’t know it yet!
I stuffed our suitcases full of Glo Bars and Amazing Grass. I should be good to go!
We are flying out of Buffalo as it was about $200 cheaper than flying out of Toronto. When we arrive we are meeting up with Eric’s Irish uncle who just happens to be in town for Lollapalooza that he is catering. Other plans include possibly going to the Yum Universe Launch Party tonight.
See you in Chicago!
I can’t wait to meet you in Chicago.
Have fun! Chicago is one of my favourite cities in North America!! Not sure if you will have time, but the waterfront is beautiful for running.
Have a safe trip and so much fun!
Those cupcakes are adorable! Have a great time at the Summit!
Have a great trip! Those pumpkin overnight oats look wonderful, and that mango is to die for!
Have a great time!!! I SO wish I were going!
Have a great time and a safe flight!
Have a great time… wish I was going to be there!
Happy Travels!!
I love mango! It’s one of my favorite, or possibly my most favorite, fruit. However, I’m always bummed that there isn’t more to it because of the big pit in the middle. How did you cut your so well??
Have a great time this weekend!
A trick I use is to cut close to the pit on both sides, then you score the mango into squares, flip the skin, slice off the cubes and voila. Very little mess and no wasted fruit. Then of course I knaw off any fruit left on the pit. :-)
I bet you’re going to have tons of fun, and I can’t wait to hear all about how everything goes there!
Angela, wishing you and your husband a safe flight to chicago and a terrific & fun time!!
I might actually try that overnight oats recipe! (I haven’t been wowed by them yet, but this looks great!!
Save travels and a wonderful HLS to all!
I like to start my mornings with a little Sketchie. I love when cats find odd places to lay down and sleep. They are little crazy like that.
Have a fabulous time!! Can’t wait to hear of recaps.
sketchie is the prettiest cat i’ve ever seen in my life! and how did you cut your mango so well?! every time i try it turns into a big fat ugly mess :(
Your cat is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love kitties … what lovely markings on Sketchie! And that mango looks fantabulous.
Have an amazing time and a safe safe trip!!!
I love that mango. It looks so juicy and fresh. :)
Have a great trip!
I think your cat is so cool looking! He looks like hes a pretty big guy too. Almost like a jungle cat. What breed is he?
Sketchie reminds me of a little cheetah :)
I haven’t had fresh mango in so long! They def. rule over cherries
How do you cut your mangoes? I always feel like I’m wasting so much of the good stuff!
