Adventures in FUN!

Happy Friday everyone!! I hope you all had a great week! I was off all week, and I had a blast! :)

Someone had asked what a co-op box was. A group of people pull there money and the group leader gets produce from local farms. In the winter it's really hard to get local in NJ, so some of the produce is out sourced. It's always the fresh, organic, and really high quality produce. I get a box of different goodies (I don't get to pick what I want), every other Thursday. There's a co-op is just about every town around here. The leader of my group is one of T's clients, that's how we found out about it. I was an alternative last summer and in the fall a space opened so I became a member.

Anyway, for lunch the other day I made bok choy wraps. I filled them with avocado, cherry tomatoes, sprouts and zucchini slices.
Here's a picture of my hair. I just love it! It's so much fun! T took this picture of me yesterday before we went to dinner..

Speaking of dinner... T took today off and last night we went to NYC to Caravan of Dreams! I ordered all raw from the menu (it's raw and vegan). Here was my appetizer: raw nachos. They were out of this world good! T got the regular nachos, I didn't take pictures of his food.

Sorry for the side ways pictures, it was hard to take in the restaurant. For dinner I ordered another Mexican dish (since it IS my favorite cuisine!). I ordered the raw special entree which was Quesadillas. Here's the huge salad they gave me with it. Definitely not the normal wimpy salad I get in non vegan restaurants. It even had an edible flower!

My Quesadillas! In the words of VeggieGirl HOLY YUM! :) I just loved these!! I was dreaming about them all night and am thinking about making some raw Mexican food for dinner tonight!

We got dessert "to go" since we were pretty full (T had the veggie burger for dinner, said it was just okay). But we ordered the raw banana almond butter pie. This was really sweet and delicious. It was a raspberry taste to it. I love eating dessert knowing nothing artificial is lurking in it!

I was thrilled when I got home to see my 2 new nail polishes from Zoya had arrived. In case you don't know Zoya is Toluene, Formaldehyde, Camphor, and DBP free. They come out with the cutest seasonal colors. I bought one for spring (on the left) called Cassi and one for summer (on the right) called Katy. They also name there polishes after female celebs of the moment or cute girlie names. So much fun! This nail polish stays on forever and is definitely my favorite!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!! I will be celebrating Easter at my in laws. As someone has asked, yes I am Catholic and very religious/spiritual. So all of those prayers mean a lot to me! Thanks!! One last thing, check out my friend Gena's great new blog: Choosing Raw she is awesome!!
