Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
No, it’s not Pancake Sunday, but if you missed it, yesterday was Pancake Saturday. More about today later. First, I must share my exciting Saturday with you. Yes, it got even better after my Mole Pancakes. 
Erica from Itzy’s Kitchen was in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and we had the best time hanging out together. First up was a vinyasa class at Yoga Country.
Erica is the cute little properly groomed one on your right. 
We then met up with her husband Josh….I even got to meet Frank the Bulldog. LOVE FRANK! Erica had scheduled Josh for a massage, and afterwards, we all went out for some lunch at Fido’s in Nashville, CD included. We forgot to get a group shot, but here’s one of the girls.
Yoga makes me taaaalllll. I had my usual, the Mediterranean salad. I always request it to be topped with a veggie burger patty. Mmm, hummus + pita + veggie burger = a happy HEAB.
Look how thoughtful Erica is…
Erica, you know me so well! She brought me Sunbutter, tahini, a kabocha squash, and a new candle for my massage studio. Thank you so much my friend!
Gotta go, have another blogger meet-up this morning. Lots of bloggers are in Nashville for Thanksgiving. Love it. Oh, but before I go, I wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to…
HEAB!!!! My blog turns 1 today, and I can promise you much celebrating all week long. Stay tuned…
P.S. Please go visit Chocolate Covered Katie. Only 2 days left to raise money for The Enough Project.

your beautiful, beautiful. Your lunch is fantastic. I eat sunshine burgers too much. I need to start making bean and rice burgers from scratch I think. Happy Birthday! I read but usually never comment. But I had to wish you happy birthday.
Thanks Haley! You may have seen this post, but here is my favorite recipe for homemade veggie burgers: http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2009/09/11/lets-talk-veggie-burgers/. They remind me of Sunshine Burgers.
happy birthday HEAB blog!!! Such a great way to celebrate! you might want to switch to heather eats kabocha?
HAPPY Bloggiversary Heabie! You help so many people by the fine work you do here on your blog! You are an inspiration to thousands of people, and you’re darn nice too! I’m so happy for you and happy for me that I met you!

Mmm, I love pita bread too. So doughy and herb-y! Happy birthday HEAB! Cheers to another year of almond butter, tahini, kabocha, and sunflower seed butter goodness

Happy Blog Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HEAB’s blog!!! Love the picture of the candle in the almond butter. Much better than cake
I had pancake Sunday today after reading your previous post. My protein pancakes were super runny though. I even put a little coconut flour in them to help. It also made more than two, but I ate them ALL!! Oh well, they were super tasty. I didn’t have instant coffee for my sauce. I had Sunbutter and carob sauce–double yum!
Sounds like so much fun meeting up with all these other bloggers. You are the only blogger meet up I’ve ever had and I still feel so blessed to know you
XOXO
LivingFree, The feeling is mutual.
Happy Birthday HEABs blog!!! I’m so glad I found you and your blog… reading it has brought smiles for every adventurous food or crazy combination I’ve read. One can never ever smile too much! Much much much appreciated…. Annie
Happy Blog Bday HEAB!!! It’s been a delicious year
what a great way to spend your 1st birthday

After reading about the chocolate mole sauce I decided to whip up my own but in “ice cream” form! Will be posting the recipe soon! Yummm! Have you tried it on whipped kabocha yet? It’s to die for!

Happy blogiversary! Has it only been a year? I started blogging at the end of December last year, and I’d been reading your blog. It was so wonderful, I thought you were a veteran! Still one of my very faves. Enjoy your Sunday, hon.
Mama Pea, Yep, just one year. I always considered us blog sisters since we started around the same time. Still do!
Hahaha, I adore the candle in the nut butter jar. Perfect picture statement.
I also ADORE your Mediterranean lunch. It’s a beautiful blend of nutrients, colors, and healthy fats.
Happy Blog Birthday! Look forward to celebrating many more!
Congratulations!! Can´t believe you have been doing this for only one year, as you have already inspired sooooo many people! Your blog is so great- keep it up!!

A very happy blogiversary to you, HEAB!
I also thought you would have been blogging for longer, you definitely seem like a natural at it. Love hearing about your healthy eats & life!
I like the red necklace that you’re often wearing… what is it?
Meg, Not sure. When I left my last job, my boss gave it to me as a going away gift. It’s some sort of Chinese symbol, but I can’t remember its meaning. Thank you though – I love it too.
Hooray for blog friends in town! And HOORAY for Birthdays! Happy Birthday HEAB! I’m so glad you came into my life! Enjoy your day!!
