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!
have a fABULOUS time – *SO* wish I could be there with everyone (wedding this weekend…)
it’s already blocked off on my 2011 calendar :)
can’t wait to hear all about it – safe travels!
OMG, you’re flying out of my hometown AND you have my white and blue mini plate! Love those mini plates. Have a great flight and a great time!
Hey… your sleeping schedule last night sounds like mine!! I think we’ll be running on excitement in Chicago ;) See you soooon and safe travels!! xo
I’ve never flown out of Buffalo, but I don’t drive so I really have no way of getting there. I try to take the subway to the airport when I’m going on a personal trip so I don’t waste money on car service (but I totally take the car service when I’m traveling for work, hehehe)
Have fun! And be safe :)
Have a blast! Those cat pictures are adorable.
Wish I could be there to meet you!
Sketchie is seriously the coolest looking cat. And I hate cats! :)
Have fun this weekend!
Have fuuuuuun! I’m so jealous! Oh, and have a safe trip :)
Wei-Wei
Ohmygosh. I love your cat’s spots! That is the most unique coat I’ve ever seen. :)
Does sketchy punish you when you leave him?
I’ve been wanting to try the pumpkin overnight oats but since you only use 1/3 cup of pumpkin, how long would the rest of the pumpkin can that I don’t use keep in the fridge ?
It’ll keep in the fridge for a long time! I keep my left over pumpkin in a small tupperware container. I don’t think I’ve ever had left over pumpkin go ‘bad’, even after a few weeks.
Blegh, I’ve had pumpkin go bad, the Libby brand. I think it was after3 weeks though. Depressing.
Crazy Sketchie! Hahaha I am not a cat lover, but I must admit I like the pics of yours.
Have fun in Chi-town. Wish I could be there!
Have a great time! I can’t wait to hear about the conference from everyone!
Your cat looks like a mini-leapord. haha
Enjoy your trip to HLS. Chicago is a beautiful city so I’m sure you all with have a great time.
I hope you have a great time at HLS. It looks like its going to be a great time!!
Have a safe trip! I wish I was going to be at HLS!
That mango looks so ripe and delicious!
Have fun! Chicago is amazing, one of my favourite cities, can’t wait to read all about it!
Just wanted to let you know that I made your vegan enchaladas last night and they were delicious!! Such a simple and awesome recipe. So glad I made extra for today’s lunch!
Have fun in Chicago!
Sketchie is too cute! My cats do the same thing with newspaper, they absolutely love it! Looking forward to meeting you this weekend. :)
