I entered Ginger in a contest from the Humane Society. To vote you have to donate a minimum of $5.00. The money is to raise funds for spaying and neutering. Here's the link to her page if you want to help out! :) Or you can enter your own pet and send out the email to your family and friends so they can donate.
The other day I made a few delicious collards wraps filled with hummus, cherry tomatoes, scallions, avocado and Parma! YUM! Here's a picture before I rolled it up..
And here they are all rolled and ready to get in my tummy! This is another new favorite of mine!
Last night before dinner, T and I went to Trader Joes for a few things. We were really excited when we saw a Sofrito White Bean Stew (and it wasn't in a can!). It came in a microwavable container, but since we don't own a microwave (THEY ARE THE DEVIL!), we made it on the stove instead. It came out really flavorful and creamy. There were only a few ingredients and nothing artificial.
On the side, a big salad with avocado, sun dried tomatoes, scallions, chives, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. Crunch..crunch..crunch..
Now for my favorite new breakfast.. From One Week Raw: LouLou's Raw Apple Porridge! I modified with what I had. I used one apple and half a banana instead of 2 apples. I garnished with the other half of banana, walnuts, cinnamon, and some raw golden raisins. OH MY GOODNESS!!! This was just like oatmeal.. or porridge! So nutritious, I stayed full for 5 hours! Definitely helped me get through my morning workout! Two thumbs up!!
Okay, I am off to workout again and watch American Idol with T. Anyone else watching this season? I have so many favorites already!

Lauren, your food looks delicious! I am glad you enjoyed the 'apple porridge'......I never thought of adding other fruit to it, this morning I tried it with an apple, 1/2 banana (like you suggested) and a small pear.....it was delicious. This is why I LOVE sharing recipes.....inspires us all.

The food looks so great! Good luck to Ginger!
I just adore collards.. I almost bought some today, but decided against it because I have kale and baby spinach that I need to use first.. but next week I am definitely back on the collard bandwagon! Lovely link to that ebook!
I have some white beans on the stove as we speak. I'll be using them this week as a major protein source! (white bean,kale soup anyone?)
Oh yum look at all the wonderful food! Isn't the apple porridge wonderful? I added goji berries and coconut to mine. :)
