CATCH UP POST! (And a recipe, of course...!)

    Tropical Overnight Oats with Kiwi Jam. 



Ok. It's confession time people. I'm afraid my poor blog has been neglected recently. But...I have some explaining and catching up to do first. 
Since moving to delaware in April, I've been super duper busy...and yes, I know what you're thinking..."you already WERE super duper busy!" And yes, that is correct--and yes, I'm even BUSIER NOW! I'm working a ton which I LOVE, but I have virtually zero free time anymore...meaning virtually no time to blog :( BUT IM GONNA DO BETTER!!! I miss blogging so much! I'm still feverishly collecting my recipes for The Fit Vegan Ginger Cookbook (which will get published eventually...again--it takes time that I unfortunately don't have at the moment...). I've got OVER 500 SINGLE SERVING, SALT OIL SUGAR FREE VEGAN RECIPES FOR YOU ALL!!! Super exciting. I'm actually considering breaking them into multiple cookbooks...or doing a few e-books to raise money tonpublishbrhwbcookbook...we'll see. But just so you guys know, I haven't forgotten about the blog. OR the cookbook (ESPECIALLY NOT THE COOKBOOK!!! Multiple new recipes are created daily!). Ok. Enough chit chat...you all have waited long enough for another TFVG recipe!
This one is sooooo good and super easy (the BEST kinda recipes!). And since it's a bowl of Overnight Oats, it's also super quick--make it gone night before and BAM! Breakfast in an instant. Anywhooooooo...enjoy! I sure did :)
