Baked Oatmeal Cake

Today’s flavor was pumpkin-chocolate-chip. With Dagoba 100% chocolate pieces. Also:

cauliflower nuggets

Cauliflower “Chicken” Nuggets

But not together! No, definitely not together. Just two dishes I happen to be loving lately.

Does anyone else ever wonder why running magazines seem to focus so much on weight loss?

Sure, some people might pick up running in order to lose weight… but wouldn’t they read fitness magazines if looking for weight-loss tips? I would’ve thought people interested in running magazines would be those who love the sport of running and want to know all about its history, lore, and famous faces (i.e. stories of the star athletes involved), as well as ways to properly fuel for peak performance, not weight loss.

Just my 2 cents. I still love the magazine.

And one more foodie “currently”:

pizza cake

Dessert Pizza Cake

Speaking of dessert, you’re going to see a lot more of it in the next few days. Coming atcha tomorrow is a new chocolate-cake recipe. And after that: a milkshake (which may or may not have something to do with cake batter).

Question of the Day:
What are your “currently”s?

    All your food looks way too good!! When am I invited over? 😉

    I just got done eating some of your banana brulee oats! OMG WAAAAY TOO GOOD!!!! I just posted about it if you want to see the picture! Next I’m off to take care of all my animals, then study, and then work on my brother’s 18th birthday today. Boy, I better get going! 😉

    1. Alexandra (Veggin' Out in the Kitchen) says:

      And thank you SO much for your super sweet comment on my last post – it meant so much to me! 😀 (And I very much agree that paper umbrellas make everything better 🙂 )

  5. Tara @The Game of Life says:

    yayy so glad desserts are coming up!! I am currently working on my blog post for today, eating oatmeal, and about to do some cleaning 🙁 I have to try your oatmeal cake… looks great!

  6. Freya says:

    I agree with the running/diet thing – I wish there was more about maintaining weight, or even gaining it! But I suppose they do what demand wants, and maybe a lot of runners do want to lose weight and are serious hardcore runners too…who knows!

    1. Freya says:

      OH an currently eating parsnip and broccoli creamy cream-free vegan soup!

    2. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I’d just like to see more of a focus on what to eat for better running… but I guess, for a lot of people, better running means getting to a smaller frame because it makes you faster. But what they don’t realize is if you eat too little, your energy will flag and it doesn’t matter how much weight you lose; you’ll still be slower!

  7. Jen says:

    Love the pictures and that oatmeal cake looks wonderful!

    Currently still wearing my pajamas. Have just done a load of laundry and am planning on making some pad thai for lunches this week. Though I probably need a shower first…

  8. kate@ahealthypassion says:

    I feel like the pick up running to lose weight sends out the wrong message and so many people pick up exercise for the wrong reasons. You have to make exercise into something you love and realize the true concrete reasons why you exercise.. Lately I have been loving dark chocolate coconut butter and almond butter all mixed together yum!

  9. Parita @ myinnershakti says:

    Your oatmeal cake looks soooo good! Currently, I am procrastinating because I have so much I need to do. 🙂 Have a great Sunday!

  15. Disturbed says:

    So excited about the milkshake recipe coming!
    So excited.

    Wondering, did you ever figure out a recipe for healthy vegan pot stickers?

    Hmmm, my currently? Well probably the same ol’ same ol’. My nightly shake is the main thing I look forward to though: two cups of vanilla unsweetened almond milk, one and a half cup of frozen mixed fruit (or just your favorite fruit), and a little bit of Stevie sweetener.
    I love it 🙂
    That and grapefruit. It is great.

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I haven’t yet… but maybe try googling it. It might be a while, since I have a ton of other recipes I need to work on as well.

    I currently wish I had that oatmeal cake in front of me! Currently, I am hanging with my boys playing games all weekend! I hope you are having a great one!
