Weekend Update (Including a Blogger Meet up!)

This weekend was packed with activity, but all good stuff! Friday afternoon, I made up a batch of Vegan Pumpkin Chip Muffins to bring to a party we were attending. Since I could not find regular canned pumpkin at any store, I opted to use pumpkin pie mix.


To compensate, I decreased the amount of sugar in the recipe to 2/3 cup and left out all the additional spices. The outcome:


Packed up in my muffin/cupcake boxes:




The party Friday night was at one of the Group Fitness Instructors houses. It was an absolute blast. Saturday morning, I taught Body Step and then got back to baking. I made up some bars to bring to Sunday's blogger meet-up.




And then I ran off to an event being thrown in Mount Pleasant by the SPCA. They had some local artists, food, toys for the kiddos, and of course...puppies and kitties for adoption. I was only there for a brief time to drop off a donation. Love the SPCA!

I did some things around the house and practiced my choreography for our Attack launch on Tuesday. Then, Josh and I headed out for a dinner date:


We went to King Street Grille:

Josh got a burger covered with cheese, jalapenos and chorizo on a pretzel bun:


I ate like a six year old and got a side salad and french fries. I haven't had french fries in ages and was just craving them:


Sunday morning, I attended a WONDERFUL blogger meet up at my favorite spot and got the usual:

I met up with Lindsay from Pancakes N Pajamas and Christina from Hungry Meets Healthy:(please excuse my hair...rain and I aren't friends):


Both girls are as sweet as can be! I hope we get to meet up again soon:


Lindsay brought us these wonderful chocolates that I cannot wait to dive into!



The rest of my Sunday was spent working on the yard & starting our garden. I also did some work & housework.
How was your weekend? Best part?
Which bloggers do you want to meet up with?
Don't forget, you have until noon today to enter to win a ticket to the Greenville, SC Taste of the Nation (this only includes the ticket to the actual event, not transportation).
