Filling my soul and tummy!

Happy belated Mother's Day to all the mom's out there! I hope you all had a special day! T bought me flowers on Friday, since I am sort of a mother..to Ginger that is!
Last week I made some broccoli rabe over quinoa. Quinoa is such a wonderful grain, filled with amino acids and is related to green leafy vegetables like spinach! I really enjoy having it every so often. Just make sure you rinse it well, otherwise it can taste like cement!

Friday night I made brown rice pasta with broccoli. I added some Miso Mayo and Parma to get a nice cheesy flavor. This turned out really well. I had some broccoli stalks left over that I planning on juicing this week!

Saturday morning I made a smoothie-shake. This was a young Thai coconut, banana, Amazing Greens Chocolate packet and some mango. It was so thick and creamy, just like a chocolate milk shake!

Feeling adventurous on Saturday T and I drove out to Pennsylvania. It took about an hour and half and we hit up a few different spots. One place we stopped at was Arnold's Cafe, an all raw cafe and health food store. I ordered "The Original Wrap" which was avocado, carrots, celery,
tomatoes, zucchini and olives wrapped in nori over a bed of greens. This has so much flavor and was so tasty, they didn't even use dressing! YUM!

I also got a dessert, because.. WHY NOT? I ordered the chocolate tart. This did not disappoint. Mmm..raw desserts are so amazing!

When we got home I had a lovely package on my door step! I had ordered some raw macaroons from Jaynel at The Greenwood Kitchen. Her Mint Chip and Peanut Butter Macaroons are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I DEFINITELY recommend you heading over to her Etsy page and ordering some. She has many different flavors, they taste just like the real thing! Feel free to send me some samples, I would love to be your taste tester, Jaynel!! :) Hehe!

After a busy Saturday some how T and I still had energy (probably the chocolate tart and macaroons, ha ha). So we went on a hike in the hills near our house. It was so beautiful and fairly strenuous. We took many pictures but this one is my favorite. The run off was so magnificent. We are probably going to go back again this afternoon. Being in nature fills our souls!

Have a fabulous week everyone! Today is the first official day of Kris Carr's Adventure Cleanse. I am going into it already off of gluten and most soy, so I feel amazing! Don't forget about my giveaway, it ends Wednesday and I will announce the winner on Thursday! I got a few raw goodies at the health food store that I am tempted to eat myself! I wish I won this package!! :)
