I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Happy Summer! Still rainy here, with the sun peeking through when it wants.
This is Ginger playing peek-a-boo on Friday. She cracks me up!
Lori from Passion For Natural was kind enough to send me some raw chocolate truffles and oatmeal raisin cookies! They were really delicious! T and I scarfed down the truffles in the car on the way to Whole Foods on Friday. We couldn't resist, so rich and decadent! Check out her site, she really has amazing products! 
When we got home from Whole Foods our appetites were looking for more, so I made some brown rice pasta with olives, cherry tomatoes, fresh peas, and HUGE cannellini beans (that's what I call them!).
Saturday we had to pick up a Vegan Carrot Cake for Father's Day at my in laws. The Whole Foods was a further away and it was a bite of a ride. When we got there it was lunch time. I filled a small container with some raw vegan slaw.
I also had a fruit salad which had mango, blueberries, papaya, kiwi and pineapple in it. So fresh, I am loving fruit as the weather gets warmer and warmer!
For dinner Saturday night we picked some of our zucchini flowers from the garden. T stuffed his with ricotta and cooked them and I stuffed mine with cashew cheese and ate them raw with some cooked marinara on the side. I also had a huge kale salad and I added some cashew cheese to it.
For a special Saturday night treat while we watched a movie (Taken, was intense and scary, not my kind of movie), we had some cherries! Oh how I missed cherries all Winter long!
Sunday morning I made myself a watermelon smoothie. I used watermelon, lemon juice and mint. It was so refreshing and filling perfect for after my yoga session!
At the farmer's market near my family (and in laws) there is a raw food stand. I picked myself up a slice of raw tiramisu. This taste IDENTICAL to the real thing. Un-real. I think we are going to have to make the trip on Sunday mornings more often! :)
Have a nice week everyone! I got a few new raw products at the health food store over the weekend. I will give a review in my next post!

Ginger is adorable. I wish I had your garden-- you guys most live in a house! (It's silly of me to assume all newlyweds are in apartments!) What state are you in? I saw your post about being part of the CSL crew- yay so cool!! Hope you are feeling GREAT my friend :-) All your eats are so healthy and delicious xoxo
Yes, we live in a house, but we lived in an apartment for 2 years while married, just moved in our house in Sept. I live in NJ.
