Is it just me or did this week go by super fast? I guess staying busy will do that to you–I’ve been going to my internship, grocery shopping and packing for an upcoming move. I’ve barely had time to whip up any recipes lately so sorry for the lack of them this week!
Favorite Find: Fruit Infusion Pitcher
Who wouldn’t want fruit infused water?
I saw this baby at Target–aka, the store I could spend hours in looking at all of their stuff, especially their kitchen and patio stuff. This pitcher is really cool because you just put fruit in the inner cylinder and it infuses the plain water with it. So basically like juice but without the added sugar. How cool is that?!
Favorite Video: S*** Vegans Say
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the S*** ________ Say video series. This one and it’s sequel are flipping hilarious because I have definitely said some of those things before. Even if you aren’t vegan, you’ll probably find it funny because a lot of the stuff mentioned is pretty popular around the blog world. And maybe you’ve even said some of those things before yourself 😛
Favorite Breakfast
Chilled quinoa mixed with u/s vanilla almond milk and vanilla stevia, topped with peanut flour, raisins, sunflower seeds almond peanut cashew butter, chocolate chips and drizzle honey vanilla agave.
Move over, overnight oats! Overnight quinoa is where it’s at. When I first made this, I was worried it would turn out weird. But it’s actually really really good and a nice change from oats. The toppings are what make it, though!
Favorite Buy: Harbor Beach pinstriped skirt from Hollister
Mine is actually orange-striped, but you get the idea.
For such a girly girl, you’d think I’d own more skirts. I actually only have 6, not including my latest purchase. I love this one though because it has a summery, nautical feel and it feels fun to twirl around in. Yes, I am 5 years old, apparently.
What breakfast are you loving lately? What’s the best thing you’ve ever found at Target?
I love that skirt! It’s so cute! ❤
Overnight quinoa sounds pretty cool,how did you do it? Did you cook the quinoa before? I guess so,elsweise,it would probably have turned out really,uhm… crunchy! 😛
Yep, I just cooked it like normal and let it sit in the fridge for awhile, then I added the almond milk and raisins and left it in overnight and then topped it in the morning!
That skirt is ADORABLE!! It looks so beachy and happy! 😀
Thanks! That’s exactly what I thought when I bought it!!!!!
I want your skirt and breakfast! I don’t like quinoa normally but it sounds like this might be delicious.
It’s a lot tastier than plain quinoa but then again anything topped with nut butter and chocolate usually is!
Always. 🙂
That skirt is cute Ashley! I still have not tried quinoa in a sweeter dish, such as with breakfast, but your version looks/sounds good. I should give it a go!
Try it out! Soaking it in almond milk overnight makes it really creamy and perfect for whatever toppings you want to add!
