Last night I went to the Flow Yoga teacher party. It was so much fun to hang with the other teachers, something we rarely get to do!

For the party last night I made a Chocolate Coconut Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting from The Voluptuous Vegan. The cake was divine! It was moist and full of coconutty / chocolatey flavor. If you don’t have that book you should go out and get it right now just for that recipe alone.

I also made Veggie Girl’s Peanut Butter Pretzel Blondies. They were pretty good – not quite what I had expected. I liked the flavor but the texture of the pretzels in the finished product felt lumpy. The pretzels were, however, fabulous in the raw batter!  I think I’ll make the blondies again but with differnt add-ins – there are lots of blondie variations on Veggie Girl’s website.

As if I didn’t eat enought last night, today we went to The Vegetable Garden in Rockville. One of my favorite area restaurants – I especially love their Hen of the Woods dish made with maitake mushrooms and asparagus. I don’t know how exactly they season the maitake mushrooms but they are so good that I actually have cravings for them. We tried a wonderful new dish (well, new to us) called “Squash Boat” which was shiitake mushrooms, yellow squash, zucchini, lily bulb, red pepper, soy protein, pine nuts, cashews,  dried cranberries in a spicy hot brown sauce. Yum.

Speaking of yellow squash, a beautiful student gave me a bagful from her garden! Any suggested great yellow squash recipes would be most appreciated!

As you can imagine I ate a lot of sweets during my bake-athon yesterday. So I added extra time to my run today:

Distance: 7.25 miles
Average speed: 8.20 mpg
Vertical distance: 243 feet

I also walked the girls twice – about two miles each walk. I’m pooped!

Have a good night I’m getting my hair done tomorrow – hooray! Maybe I’ll just chop it all off…???!!!
