Anyway, here's a lovely picture of my bubby Ginger, she was caught in the act of messing up her bed (she digs and thinks she's going to actually get somewhere.. to cute!).
During the week I made broccoli mashed potatoes and some garlicky kale. For the mashed potatoes I boiled Yukon potatoes then steamed some broccoli and put it all in a bowl with some olive oil, Earth Balance, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and some sauteed garlic, shallots, and onions, then I mashed them all together and added some fresh parsley! These were a-m-a-z-i-n-g! 
Another dinner during the week: Melody's Quinoa and Eggplant Soup. I added more quinoa then it called for to make it a thicker soup (T and I both like thicker soups) and I also added a ton of kale. This recipe was outrageous!! Everyone needs to make this soon! It's going to be a staple soup (like escarole and beans and pasta fagioli) in my house for now on!
For lunch on Friday I made Ani Phyo's Mediterranean Dolma's. I LOVE DOLMA'S! They were really good raw and I had all the right ingredients from my co-op box! I usually don't buy dill. This was a perfect thing to use it in!
Today T and I went out west to my favorite health food store/cafe for lunch. I got a really refreshing juice-cucumber lemonade! Mmm.. so detoxifying, perfect for my bettering myself plan!
T got the TLT I blogged about last time. He said it was so delicious and refreshing! He wants to go back soon, can't wait! Here's what I got- a big salad with cucumbers, orange peppers, red onions, carrots, sprouts! So much color, and I enjoyed it with some raw crackers (pizza flavored) and washed it down with a Kombucha. 
Tomorrow is T's birthday! He is going to be 27.. wow the years FLY BY! I will try to take pictures of the pizza place we are going to. I know I mentioned we were going to a place that offers vegan pizza, but I told T we could go to a better rated place, and I will just get some veggies and a salad. So we are going to a high rated pizza place called John's. My brother in law and his girlfriend are coming, so I don't know if I will have to courage to take pictures of my food..haha!

Love Ginger!! :-)
Wishing T an early happy birthday!!
hello Ginger! Henry would love to take you up on your offer; he doesn't care if you swing both ways... he'll take whatever he can get!
My puggies do that too!! Bumpers is really bad for digging in his bed. It takes him a long time to get comfortable.
Ginger is such a cutie pie.. J digs all the time, or rather, she likes to throw her covers up in the air so she is under them.
So glad you liked the soup. It's one of my favorites. I'm making some this week and I'm going to add kale! Everything is better with kale.
I say take the pics!
you, my dear, are a constant inspiration for healthy eating!
