As I mentioned, Saturday night I went to Pure Food & Wine with my mother in law and future sister in law. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of our food. We ordered the tasting menu and split everything into threes so it wasn't very pretty! I can tell you that it was the best meal I have had there yet! Everything so wonderful! My mother in law is even talking about eating high raw and buying both of Sarma's cookbooks!
I did take some pictures from the ferry. We took the ferry in from my mother in laws (the shore), it was so lovely and enjoyable. We sat on top, and even though our hair was a mess afterwards, it was worth it!
Still in New Jersey I snapped this picture.
A view of the skyline. It was really magnificent to be up top enjoying the cool breeze from the water and beautiful sites.
Sunday night for dinner I made brown rice pasta with tomato sauce and vegetables. The veggies I used were zucchini, eggplant, the pepper from my garden, fresh basil and tomatoes.
For dessert I had a Go Fudge Raw Brownie I picked up at Whole Foods. It had cacao nibs on top and was really decadent and delicious. Perfect for the chocolate craving I had been having.
Here is a picture of it out of the wrapper. It was small but so rich and filling. Perfect portion!
Last night T felt like some ice cream so I whipped up some of Gena's Raw Banana Soft Serve, she wasn't lying this recipe does change your life! I don't think I will buy ice cream ever again! :) So much healthier too! I've told everyone I know about this, I know they are going to be changed too! T loved it as well! Next time I am going to add some raw cacao nibs or some raw shredded coconut, yum!
Finally, I wanted to let you all know that I saw a Homeopathic doctor/Chiropractor yesterday and I really feel I am on the right path for healing. He is getting to the root of the problem. I am not comfortable talking about it here, but there have been some issues in my life that may have started my Crohn's and when I forgive and learn to deal with that stress, I can start the healing process. Hopefully one day I won't have Crohn's anymore! I will keep praying and thinking positive!

good luck with your healing journey. have you read any of Louise Hay (her ground breaking book is You Can Heal Your Life)? she talks a lot about healing physical issues through healing emotions. she healed herself of vaginal cancer through lots of release work and forgivness (LOTS and LOTS of work). Not sure if that is the type of work you were talking about, but thought i would put it out there.

Beautiful pictures. It's amazing how stress and our emotional issues really play such a part in our physical bodies. I wish you the best on your journey to better health and that you found a doctor to help guide you.
