G’day there! Well, we made it. We’re settled into our next house sitting job. Luckily its just down the road. Sadie has new friends yet again. She’s adjusting. I like to think we’re making her more social, right? haha.
Anyway, today’s WIAW has a little bonus. I think you’ll like it too. It’s another version of WIAW and I am STOKED! But first, lets get started with the food. Thanks to Jen, we’re all able to drool on our computers today. 
Rudi’s GF toast with Cashew butter, greek yogurt, honey, fig, and big ol’ pear!
Need I say more with this drink? LUV!
Lunch– Green bean and falafel salad with chicken.
Oh and we can’t forget toast and VEGEMITE!

And not soon after that I enjoyed some Twin Cakes Vanilla Cashew biscotti with a cuppa tea.
The Twins are so amazing in the kitchen. You gotta check out their bakery items. YUM!
Another great snack bar from our local friends here in Austin.
Katie from Thunderbird Energetica sent us some great flavors. These bare are GF and Vegan.
Cocoa Hemp Walnut is my favorite.
Ahh dinner, another scrappy dish that turned out pretty tasty!
I call these my pizza tostadas.
2 corn tortillas held together with melted cheese (daiya works great),
then topped with zucchini, chicken sausage, pepper, and goat cheese.
Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes.
Okay and here’s another fun twist on WIAW.
Remember that awesome auction I was talking about? Well, its coming up!!
What I’m Auctioning Wednesday
I wanted to let you know some fun item being auctioned. Including HEALTHY BITES!!
And the hubs is auctioning off 3 of these Kswiss visors and a few Kswiss water bottles. Oh ya!
Check out THESE AUCTION ITEMS! I think I might just have to do my Christmas shopping 5 months early! All these products sounds great and our fellow bloggers are so talented.
I am still just so amazed by this blogging community. It’s a JOY to see these men/women who are there for each other (through the good and the bad).
Are you auctioning anything? If so, let us know! If not, see anything that tickles your fancy?
Hope so!
Cheers,
LC
and youre gonna kick cancers butt and then some. I just know it susan! Youre freakin strong! We got this!p.s.vegemite cures, want me to send you some? hehe.xxoo Lindsay Cotter ________________________________
Xoxoxoxoxo times a million gajillion. Pretty sure the love and support of bloggers will be a big part of how I'm able to kick this cancer's butt. Words really can't describe how thankful I am for everyone's help! Can't wait till the day I'm declared in remission and can say it's in part to everyone who's participating :)P.S. Vegemite on toast is the best!
are you back home yet? Hope you had a FABULOUS TIME! Lindsay ________________________________
Oh…..the auction! I'll be traveling so I can't participate very well, but I did go look at the stuff. The healthy bites look pretty darn good :)…actually, all of your food looks yummy!
haha, I can't remember either but I love hearing from you. I adored your running post today!! xxoo Lindsay ________________________________
susan is such a strong woman. Amazed by her heart! Lindsay ________________________________
here ya go. Vegemite heaven! http://www.kraftbrands.com/kraftvegemite/Pages/default.aspx Lindsay ________________________________
oh girl, I hear ya. I just stocked up on GT here because it was $2.25 a pop. SCORE!Lindsay ________________________________
PS – whats vegemite?!
I'll take the healthy bites! I love the idea of the auction – i just read about her and I think it's a phenomenal idea! So….. thanks for getting me HOOKED ON KOMBUCHA. Seriously I have been having at least 1/ day the last 2 weeks and i love it so much. The Whole foods on my street has it on TAP – how dangerous! :p But it's really starting to hurt my wallet though so I have to figure out a solution. Even by the case , NYC is too expensive.
I love the huge auction–such an amazing idea for an amazing, strong woman!!loved your WIAW–dinner looks amazing 😀
For some reason I can't remember whether I've commented on this post yet! The heat is getting to me 😉 I love LOVE the look of those pizza tostadas. Mmm mmm!Your culinary creativity is always an inspiration to me! 🙂
oh I would bid on Gingie's hair. Locks of LUV baby. hehe.hope work was fun for you today!<3 Lindsay ________________________________
the hubs is taking part in the auction? **gush**. What a guy! Perhaps I can convince Gingie to auction off some locks of his precious hair 😉 Kidding! Seriously though, I'm so in awe of you and James' generosity!! love you guys!
haha, you just might be. But at least you know which ones are the healthiest! so excited for your Christi. COLLEGE BOUND! Lindsay ________________________________
Oh K, i hope it gets easier to settle in and meet new friends. Maybe I should send you some of these bars, right?;) Lindsay ________________________________
I checked out those bars. They sound good! I've been on the bar hunt, stocking up for college this Fall. I have a feeling I'll be living off of them for a while haha.
haha, maybe the tortillas pizza is a TX girl thang.;) Lindsay________________________________
Can I just say that I *wish* they sold Healthy Bites at the Houston airport? Something tells me after an all-night flight, I *might* just be willing to kill for them… or just buy them. 🙂
I've definitely done pizzas on corn tortillas before – love it!
quite fancying one of those bars I have to say… extremely handy for all of my current- extremely unsettling (but should be exciting right? who knows who I'll meet/ what I'll see)- constant flitting around. Hmm
yay, you can!! so good to hear from you sweet carrie. Lindsay ________________________________
YAY I CAN COMMENT!! WAHH SO EXCITED ur auctioning ur healthy bites!!
awesome! thanks Liz! You should have auctioned some of your amazing eats!! I would have bid on all of them, hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
Mmm, I'd love to grab some of your healthy bites through the auction! I'm definitely going to check it out.
oh girl, I saw those and I am bidding!! My favorite pair of sox ever!Lindsay ________________________________r!From: Disqus <>To: [email protected]: Thu, July 21, 2011 4:51:33 AMSubject: [cottercrunch] Re: COTTER CRUNCH
I was scanning through the list yesterday- AMAZING! I'm donating a few pairs of Smartwool socks. If other people are as obsessed with them as I am, I'm hoping it will be a good item!
i do! I like to use th fage brand or the voskos brand. VERY creamy and lower in sugar. A little goes a long way. I mix in a lot fo things. And its easier on my stomach. But thats just my opinion.;) Lindsay ________________________________
yes, its gonna be a great auction! and i can't wait to see all the fun bids!!p.s.Try out macadamian nut butter when youre in hawaii. WOW< its like crack.;) Lindsay ________________________________

I'm loving your WIAW, everything looks delish!!
ohhh great stuff Lindsay! And you and your hubby are so sweeet! I'm gonna try and peruse through the options later.
Hey Lindsay! Do you use the real, full fat greek yogurt like you've mentioned in the past? What kind do you use and whats the flavor like in comparison to nonfat or 2%? Thanks : )
I need to try the orange Kombucha flavor. (I never remember the names, I just go by color) I LOVE The pink one. Not a big fan of the green one. Happy WIAW!
I'm loving your cashew butter, greek yogurt, honey and fig combo! And the corn tortilla pizzas look delish. I'll definitely be giving both a try once I'm home!Horray for Healthy Bites making an appearance at The Great Fundraising Act! I'm so excited about this auction–couldn't agree more about the genuine love and concern bloggers and readers have for one another. 🙂 Happy Wednesday, Lindsay!

Billy would be such a fan of those pizza tostadas! And I'd go for some healthy bites. Who knows, maybe I'll bid on them! It's inspiring to see so many people coming together for Susan.

Haha, you're kidding with the Vegemite!!! I always thought that stuff was a joke, actually, until Hannah informed me that it's actually quite popular down under. Do you have to special order it?
I want those pizza tostadas!

i have a feeling you will love vegemite. REally! I'll make you a deal. If you don't like it, I'll buy it from u. K?:) Lindsay ________________________________
OK, so much to say…let's see. I LOVE that you first smushed cheese in between the tortillas. It's like a Mexican stuffed crust pizza! 🙂 Also, please tell me about Vegemite. I love yeasty flavors (I've decided that "umami" is my new favorite taste), but I'm hesitant! Should I suck it up and buy some?
MMM pizza 😉 Those energy bars look good. I was planning on auctioning doggy treats, but since I've been out of town, not sure if I can get the pictures and such in on time 🙁
