A taste of Spring...?

Finally some warm weather here in NJ! We took the opportunity to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Especially today when the high was 55! Whoohoo! :) T and I did some shopping in town and I got a Calvin Klein Khaki trench for the Spring for only $69.99, it was love at first site and when I tried on the small and it was to big I almost cried.. I knew they would never have an extra small left..but they did!! Double whoohoo! I also got a really cute dress for my brother in laws confirmation in April and a cute tee that has a few attached necklace chains.. really cute! Anyway, lots of food, so I won't bore you...

Juice of the day on Friday: 2 apples, 1/2 a cucumber, collards, lemon and yellow carrots. I enjoyed this while reading my new issue of Get Fresh! I was so excited they had this at the health food store. I really need to subscribe!
Friday night dinner: Kale salad with sun dried tomatoes. I am obsessed!!

We also had some Rising Moon Organics garlic and roasted veggie filled ravioli with tomato sauce on top. T and I use to buy these all the time.. it was always our Friday night meal. But since eating more raw we haven't been getting them. I had a craving and picked them up last time I was at Whole Foods. I just love these!

Dessert? Raw chocolate pudding! I mashed up 2 bananas, some raw golden raisins and cacao powder in the blender, refrigerated for an hour, then sprinkled some more raisins on top for garnish. Simple and delish!

Yesterday we went back to Kaya's Kitchen for lunch. I ordered the Rasta Mist: kale, lemon, ginger, carrot, celery and apple. It was really spicy and warming! Mmm! T's arm had to be in the picture..he was showing you the lovely juice..ha ha!

I also ordered the Avocado Salad: avocado, romaine, sunflower seeds, cucumber, carrots, sprouts, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers. I ordered the cucumber ranch dressing, which was really creamy! Loved this salad!

At the health food store yesterday I saw they had individual packs of Vega Powder. I saw all the vitamins and minerals in it and decided to buy it to try out in a smoothie. I bought the chocolate flavor and blended it with 2 bananas, coconut water, and a small handful of frozen berries. Mmm... so chocolaty! I don't think I would purchase a big jar of it, but I would try out the other flavors and buy the individual packs once in a while. Anyone ever try these? I think it's raw, but I wasn't positive..?

Tonight is our Italian meal night (not that most of our food during the week isn't, but it's our "special meal" night). So I will post that meal and some others in my next post! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone!
