Finally my reviews!

Sorry to keep anyone waiting! I know I said I would be back with a review but I became really busy and had no time! With the summer here, I am finding it harder to sit inside on the computer (although the sun has not shined much at all!)

Anyway, the other night I made a yummy raw soup. I got the urge after reading Gena's soup post. Here I blended, broccoli, celery, avocado, lemon, olive oil, water and spices. I am always sceptic about raw soups and I admit I am not totally sold, but this came out really creamy and rich!
I also made Hippie Loaf from The Happy Herbivore. I didn't have quinoa so I used millet instead. It was very tasty but didn't seem to stay in one piece! T and I didn't care though, we enjoyed it a lot! I will definitely be making this recipe again!

Our first baby has been born, a pepper from our garden!! Isn't she beautiful?! We are going to enjoy her one night this weekend! :)

Okay, the moment you've been waiting for my reviews! At the health food store this week I noticed some new raw crackers. I am a huge fan of raw crackers, but never make my own (hello, LAZY), anyway, I usually stick to the Livin Spoonful brand because they are my favorite. But this week I decided to give these a whirl. Mauk Family Farms makes them and they had 3 different flavors. I couldn't pick one so tried out all 3! The one on the left is made with pumpkin seeds and is probably my favorite. The one on the right reminded me of a sesame bagel, yum and the third one isn't pictured, because T and I got hungry before I took a pic, it was a breakfast crust. Filled with goji berries and seeds it had a sweet taste that was a nice change from the other savory flavors. No strange ingredients here, that's what I like!

The next review is for Zukay Horseradish Dill Relish. I think Zukay products are great, and I especially love the fact that they are filled with probiotics, which is great my Crohn's! I have met the owners on a few occasions and they are really wonderful, easy to talk too people. I wish them nothing but the best with there fabulous line of raw goodies. This though was my least favorite of all the products they make. Maybe I am not a relish fan, but I couldn't bring myself to eat more of it. I have been throwing it in salads so I couldn't taste it as much. Don't take my word for it, if you are a relish fan, this might be your healthy answer! I hope to try some of the salad dressings next! The Weekly Gab:
