Spring is singing!

Happy Easter Everyone!! I hope everyone had a wonderful lovely one. I sure did! Here's my little gray beard (one of her many nick names) on Easter..
I don't have any pictures of my meal on Easter but my mother in law made us vegan eggplant parm (no cheese, not even fake). Also we had pasta with marinara sauce. I haven't been eating very raw the past couple of days. Tomorrow I plan on juicing and getting back into the groove of things. Temptation got the best of me!

On Friday night I made rawcos. I used a non-raw blue corn shell, but everything else was raw. I used Zukay's raw salsa, lettuce, onion, avocado, olives and Ani Phyo's rawco meat. These are my favorite!
At Whole Foods last week I picked up some Deglet Noor Dates. Medjool are my favorite but of course they didn't have any. My Whole Foods is very hit or miss with them. It's okay though because any date is good to me!
With lots of rain and sunny days the past week, spring has begun to sing! We have daffodils in our yard that are so beautiful.
Also, we have a ton of Forsythia bushes. Which I absolutely love! Yellow seems to be everywhere!
Have a wonderful Monday! Thanks for all the compliments on my hair. Everyone seems to love it! Not that I would care if they didn't! ;)

Aww, gray beard! I love how easy it is to make up nick names for them. Happy Easter to you too! Oh, and your hair is super cute!

What lovely flowers! And I am drooling over those tacos! I really want to try the Zukay products! Except that I hate garlic, and they all seem kind garlicky :)

Hi beautiful!
I've been eyeing that recipe for the taco meat in Ani's book... now that you said it was amazing I think I'm going to make it!
I bought the exact same dates today!!! I totally was not impressed. Yet I still ate plenty. They were very dry compared to medjools. Oh well, maybe they will stick around a bit longer. Probably not though!
Glad you had a good Easter; don't be too hard on yourself about taking a break from raw foods. Go with the flow, the most important thing is you are eating healthy even though it isn't always raw.
Hugs!
