Hi Friends!
After an amazing few days in Cali and a long day of travel yesterday, I’m home! I had grand intentions of having an awesome recap post ready to go for you today…but I was too ADD to write it on the plane and our Internet wasn’t working when I got home. So instead, here are five random tidbits to brighten your Friday:
1) I entered my peanut butter avocado cookies in a Hass Avocado recipe contest. Winner gets a free trip to the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (the annual conference for Registered Dietitians) and I’ve made it into the top 10! If you have a second to vote for me I would really appreciate it! Just CLICK HERE
2) I don’t even have these Fridge Coasters and I’m already obsessed with them! Love. Want. Need! How fun are they?!
3) This is Max. He weighs 80 pounds and is terrified of storms. My MIL found him IN the dryer the other day during a storm! Silly boy.
4) We have a summer 2013 playlist. That’s code for, we’ve pretty much been listening to the same 10 songs on repeat all summer long.
It also includes Blurred Lines, Same Love and Molly. Don’t judge 😉
5) Last night I took my most liked IG photo EVER. This is what we call stocking up on avocados. I mean, they were on sale…but still! Also, squirrel shirt for the win!
Tell me something you’re loving lately! A song, a food, a workout…let’s hear it!
Enjoy!

I need to make those cookies! And what am I loving this week? I started pilates this week in addition to my physical therapy- and after ten years away from pilates I remembered how much I love it. Have a great weekend!
Peanut butter avocado cookies!?! Sounds amazing! You need to give the avocado hoarder in the last picture the recipe! Ha!
Oh my gosh, that is so adorable that your dog was hiding in the dryer. I love thunderstorms.
Definitely will vote for your cookies!! They look awesome.
Off to do that now.
Lol that avocado photo is awesome!!
Glad that you had a good trip to Cali! I saw that IG photo and laughed out loud. That’s hilarious. Maybe he wants to make your cookies? And I love those fridge coasters! hmmmm, might have to get me some of those.
AHHH HA HA HA! I would totally chill with Max in the dryer too! 😉
Hmmm what am I loving lately? Well I am totally loving that I just got a $300 dinner for two (yep, I went to dinner in Beverly Hills, lol)… FOR FREE!!!!!!! WHHAAAAT?!?!?!! It was a magical experience! Holy Hot Damn!
Your poor doggie! How did he even think to go in the dryer?!
Love the IG pic! He definitely was making your cookies. 🙂
I love this post–so much fun stuff! I love Blurred Lines and I’m pretty mad that Miley kind of ruined it for me. I try to erase the visual, but it’s hard!
I voted for the cookies—seriously, how could those NOT win?
The IG picture is priceless.
So funny with the dog in the dryer and like others have asked, how in the world did he get in there? The avocado pictures is just great!!

I might have to judge a little bit for the 2 Chainz. But just a little.
What a fun post! Love the fridge coasters (give me purple, please!!), the playlist (no judgement here!) and the avo shot. That’s alotta guacamole! haha
Have a fun and restful weekend!
Awwww, Max!! My heart goes out to him!
I’ve never heard “Molly” but I love Mackelmore!
The fridge coasters are cool, love the chevron print. I hope your recipe wins! I am obsessed with the band Bastille… I play the entire album over and over. LOVE “The Things We Lost in the Fire”
That’s exciting about your recipe! I hope it wins!
I wonder what that dude is gonna do with all those avocados? Is he having the world’s biggest guag making fest or what?
Song: Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood.
Food: Vegan Marshmallows
That is going to make a lot of guacamole! You should have given him your recipe for peanut butter avocado cookies 😛
OMG that’s a lot of avocados!! He must be stocking up for a guacamole party! Haha. What I’m loving lately is definitely my health! After spending a week in the hospital in August with a kidney infection, I can really appreciate being able to do the things I want to do and get my body a good work out at the same time.
I voted for your cookies! Good luck!
You have to wonder what he’s going to do with all those avocados. I hope for the world’s largest bowl of guacamole! Or maybe a big batch of your cookies? Going to vote for them now.
The avocado picture is amazing … the squirrel shirt just kills me! Heading over to vote now – good luck!
I voted for your cookies (and I have to say that all the entries sounded pretty good!) Of course, I love avocados, though not as much as the squirrel shirt man apparently.
I made those cookies and they were sooo GOOD!
That avocado picture was priceless 🙂 !!!!
Haha that man and his avocados cracked me up! I’m loving a mix I just bought that has chocolate bits, coconut, chia seeds and ground flax. It’s the bomb and I made a smoothie with it this morning!
Oh my gosh that picture of Max in the dryer made me die laughing! Love it!
Ooh, love those fridge coasters!! Holy avocados- what in the world is he going to do with them all?!
New additions to my playlist include Ellie Goulding’s “Burn” and “Glowing.” Still loving my runs! Last long run tomorrow before half marathon next weekend!
Ooooh that silly puppy! I can’t imagine how comical it was watch him trying to get in there. 🙂
Lately… I’m LOVING smoothies. More than usual. More than maybe is normal.
Im glad you had a great trip and enjoyed Cali!!
Hope they win! I was just looking at them actually!
Holy avocados squirrel-shirt man! It reminds me that yesterday, a man at the farmers market bought 3 bags of jalapenos – $15 worth! It had to be like 6 lbs or something!
Congrats on making it so far in the contest. I hope you win!
That man reallllly like avocados. Wow.
Voted for you, best of luck, that’s so exciting!! Love your blog 🙂
That photo is hilarious! I’ve also been eyeing those fridge coasters. Right now I use paper towels in my crisper drawer, and shelf liners in the fridge. Isn’t it funny what pets get into?!:) Pur dogs are obsessed with trying to get in the dishwasher when we load supper dishes!:) Have a great weekend!!
PS- voted for you! I think you’ll win- best recipe on the site for sure!
I just voted for you. Avocado cookie, what a great idea. I will try it.
omg that last picture! lol
OMG that photo is amazing! I just LOL! I’m loving plantains again, now that I finally picked some up. I’m also loving how the mornings in Houston are getting slightly cooler. Getting the itch to start running longer miles before work.
I’ve made those cookies and they are great!! I created a Chia Avocado chocolate pudding that my daughter loves– it’s great when you can sneak some amazing and healthy fats into baked yumminess
CONGRATS on the top 10!!! So cool! LOVE those fridge things – nobody is looking inside my fridge though! 😉
The guy with the avocados – that IG cracked me up!
How often can we vote for you?
I bet he’s making your cookies with all those avocados 🙂
I hope you win! And, I’m trying to get to Texas myself, so if you win, I’ll see you there (hopefully..fingers crossed).
That is a clutch picture! Wow! My best was a picture of a man walking his goat in a New Hampshire town. Oh, and I should probably mention that the goat was wearing a bright red foam visor. I could not make this up if I tried.
Max is way too cute 🙂
That photo is gold! I love how he looks like he is counting just how many avocados he has to make sure he has enough!
avocado hoarder!!
i must admit, the puppy in the dryer photo made me giggle out loud. too cute!!!
I’ve been loving the vanilla almond butter I made over the weekend… And being a little lazy this weekend & catching up on blogs & orange is the new black 🙂
