Salty and Sweet

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I am taking it easy this summer, not stressing over blogging or taking pictures of food.

My fast went well, I got through Saturday and Sunday morning I felt I really needed food, so I had a smoothie and broke the fast. I feel good about it though.

Earlier in the week I made Melody's Dahl, only mine didn't turn that nice yellow color that hers did. I also added kale for an extra boost of green. It was really good and I froze a lot of it for later use.
My favorite snack/lunch right now has been a sliced cucumber (from my garden, of course) sprinkled with sea salt and a side of raw sauerkraut. This is the perfect salty treat and is definitely better than potato chips!
Continuing with my salt cravings lately, I made Philip's Raw Popcorn! Another perfect snack, although I had it for lunch! T looooves popcorn, I can't digest it well, so cauliflower popcorn fits the bill!
Another lunch from this week was some raw pesto flavored crackers from Livin' Spoonful with avocado, raw kraut, Parma, and ground pepper on top. I just love those crackers, they are so versatile and great just on their own!
At my Whole Foods this week, I noticed they had Love Street Living Foods Raw Chocolate Bars (and even chocolate syrup!). Ecstatic, I had to buy a bar, it was so fudgey and delicious! I am going to get some more next time I go and stick them in the freezer!
Have a nice week everyone! I will try to post again before the week is over, but don't count on it! :) I will be laying in the sun, enjoying the summer weather!

Pretty soon I'll be joining you with freshly-picked cukes from the garden. Can't wait!

I have to sit on my hands not to pick things before "their time." BUT, every morning is like Christmas morning when I go out and peek. A lot happens overnight, I'm telling ya!

Okay, so yesterday as I was dealing with my Tweetastrophy of getting twitter hacked, the library called... "Weeds, Season 4, ready to be picked up."

thankyoujesus

I thought of you and Mr. T.

Had a date with Nancy Botwin last night and another tonight. Ahhhhhhh, decompression. I don't smoke weed. I just watch it. :D
