It's almost here!!
My exciting weekend is almost here! Tonight we are picking up vegan cupcakes from a vegan bakery in NJ!! So exciting.. I don't know how I am going to wait until tomorrow to have one! He He! We might have a change of plans for Sunday. T asked me if I would rather go to Pure Food and Wine instead of Candle79.. now I can't decide. But I was going to get all raw food at Candle anyway, and Pure Food has more variety since it's an all raw restaurant. The reason we weren't going there in the first place is because last time we went we ended up spending a fortune. But T realized I wouldn't be drinking so the bill wouldn't be so high. So now I have to make a choice..
Here's my co-op box from this week: Golden delicious apples, beets, yellow carrots, sweet potatoes, chives, green beans, romaine lettuce, red peppers, tangeloes, grape tomatoes, broccoli, KALE, STRAWBERRIES, and bananas. Kale is one of my favorite veggies and strawberries are one of my favorite fruits! Happy day!
Here are the greens.. crunch crunch crunch! I already used one of the kale's for a massaged salad yesterday. I just couldn't resist!
Last night I made a rawco salad. I used Ani Phyo's recipe for the meat and put it on top of a bed of lettuce with olives, avocado, scallions, green bell peppers, tomato and some black beans. I used olive oil and salsa for the dressing. Not 100% raw, but close enough! This was fabulous! I love raw Mexican food!!
I won't be posting again until Monday since I will be pretty busy this weekend! So I will have lots of birthday treats for that post! Have a nice weekend everyone!

Fabulous co-op box; and hooray for your exciting weekend ahead!!! Enjoy!!! :-)
I hope you have the happiest weekend ever!
Happy Birthday! Could you tell me what co-op you use? I am a Jersey girl as well and have a friend looking for a produce connection(she lives in Avon). Thanks
Hi!
I am a member of the Purple Dragon Co-op they have pods all over NJ. She can go to the website (type in Purple dragon in google and it should come up) and find one in her area (you don't have to live in the town you join). Or she can call the main number and ask to be directed to one. But some are full, mine was full over the summer and I was a subsitute, but I ended up getting one every other week anyway. Now I am a member because there was an opening. Good luck!
Hey Cynthia,
Thanks for the suggestion. I was telling T the other day about that place. I think we would go there for lunch one day, since they offer breakfast items. Thanks for the tip though!! I still need to pick a place!!! AHH! :)
Have the BEST weekend ever! You deserve it!
enjoy your birthday, Lauren! i'm sure both restaurants would be awesome! mmmmmmmmmm!
