Heart Shaped Tomato

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a nice week. Mine has been going pretty well. I am looking into acupuncture for my Crohn's. Anyone have any experience with it? It was suggested by a few people and I think it's time to give it a chance. The only thing holding me back is cost, which shouldn't be a problem because my health should be most important..I wish that was how everyone thought..

Anyway, we have our first tomato!!!!! The best part about it, it's a heart shaped tomato! :) We haven't eaten it yet, it just sits in our kitchen looking cute!
I bought two new raw bars to try at Whole Foods this week. They are by the brand Go Raw! Let me tell you, best raw bars ever!!!!! They have so much flavor and so my quality to them, I am in love!
Earlier in the week, T wasn't feeling well from working outside in the rain all day, so I made this yummy roasted veggie dish with millet. I roasted broccoli, sweet potatoes, turnips, red potatoes, zucchini and eggplant. Turned out pretty well!
We have had an over abundance of cucumbers from our garden, so T decided we should make pickles! The first batch came out too salty, but this batch was perfect! YUM! Next we want to make raw pickles, any recipes to share?
Gena's Soft Serve us once again making an appearance on my blog! I am telling you, she wasn't kidding about it being life changing! I made myself a super-food sundae earlier in the week. I added some coconut oil to the banana mix and sprinkled bee pollen, goji berries and cacao nibs on top. I just loooved it!
Lastly, a big mug of juice I enjoyed recently. This was beets, cucumbers, celery, apple and lemon. I love the color of beet juice, it's so pretty!
Have a wonderful day everyone! I will have more info on the acupuncture thing in my next post. I am going to call today about an appointment! Wish me luck!
**P.S. I am not sure you all know that there is a Crazy Sexy Life Blog! Some of the most influential people in the raw food, vegan, animal rights, spiritual world are part of the blog posse and everyday someone different writes a post. There is not anywhere else (that I know of) online that has such a great dynamic group of people blogging on one page. Please spread the word and add Crazy Sexy Life to your blog roll! I promise you will enjoy it! :)

that is so sweet that the first tomato was a heart.

i have done acupuncture. i had good sucess with it for my asthma but not for my back pain. i also took the herbs. good luck. my philosophy is to just try lot of different things and hope something clicks.

Oh what a cute tomato.

What does bee pollen taste like? Is it soft or crunchy? Whats it like? I have been wanting to try it but I have been unable to find any around here. I have one more place to go to see if they have it or maybe they can order it.

Oh...The color of your beet juice is so gorgeous! I'm inspired :)
