I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Thank you all SOOOOO much for all the love and light you sent me. I am really working hard through all this mental stuff and your support means the world!
My grandmother turned 80 a few weeks back and over the weekend we had a surprise birthday party for her. She is the hippiest, most stylish, 80 year old I know! She is so classy and elegant and wears clothes that I would buy (they are modest and classy, nothing too young). She also goes to Jazzercise almost daily (and has been for 50 years!!! You should see this lady..she is HOT! :)
Anyway, during the week last week I made some interesting salads. Starting off was my favorite, Rawco salad! I used Ani Phyo's Rawco recipe and added some fresh peppers from our garden, avocado, cherry tomatoes, onion, lettuce, lime juice and little olive oil.
I also made Sarma's S&M salad from her new book Living Raw Food. YUM! This is my favorite salad from One Lucky Duck Takeaway and I was so excited to see the simple, yet decadent salad in the book. I used raw crackers from Livin Spoonful, they are my favorite. I am making this again for dinner this week!
The people from Sunshine Burger were kind enough to send me a bunch of coupons for some free boxes!! T and I went to Whole Foods this weekend, and stocked up! Or freezer is full!!
Speaking of Whole Foods, they finally brought back my favorite (and only kind I've ever had, besides from Pure Food and Wine), raw ice cream!! They even got bigger containers now! I enjoyed the Pistachio flavor. I still have some leftover for the week. YUM!
Sunday T and I went to Whole Foods for lunch and I got a fresh pressed carrot, beet and parsley juice. I also had a fruit salad. This was potent, but delicious. T had one as well and was not a fan (but he did drink it all down!).
Have a lovely Monday everyone! I see my doctor again today, I wonder what we will be working on this week. I will share with you in my next post! :)

Happy belated birthday to your grandmother!!
S&M Salad = epic. I love it too.
Good luck with the doctor - and remember to breathe!! :-)
Not to be outdone by Sunshine Burger, Parma will be sending you a FREE case this week! :D
Grandma should be the "poster child" for Jazzercize, rockin' it at 80. Count your lucky stars, those are some good genes you've got there, Lauren.
Saw your tweet about the nervous breakdown. Sometimes, a complete and utter mental meltdown is just what we need for our healing to kick into high gear.
Loving you.
I didn't know whole foods made pressed juices now!!!
Jazzercise for 50 years, wow!
It would be nice to have pressed juice at my Whole Foods, crossing my fingers they get a machine soon.
