Snow Day!
Happy first day of Winter! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We got a lot of snow here, but south of us got a lot more, I am happy we didn't get as much, since I HATE driving in the snow and ice!
I was fortunate enough to win a contest by the Pure2Raw twins, Michelle and Lori and they sent me a bunch of yummy raw (and a few cooked vegan) treats from their bakery Twin Cakes. They are working on a new website and they are going to offer there goods for order! YUM! My favorites are their macaroons, the pumpkin seed kale crackers and brownie bites!! So GOOD!
On Friday, after the package came, I put some avocado on a few pieces of collard flat bread they sent. Talk about delicious! These are so good, everything they sent is!
I also had a big salad on the side. I added some crumbled flat bread, cherry tomatoes & avocado!
Saturday night, we were pretty much snowed in. I made some millet with broccoli, onion and garlic and topped it with some avocado, lemon juice and hemp seeds. This was so warming and delicious!
Since I was bored out of my mind, I also made Ani Phyo's Almond-Goji Cacao Chip Cookies from her book Raw Desserts. These were amazing! T loved them too, he said they taste like the cornflake, cherry cookies people make around Christmastime. Between Saturday and Sunday we ate them all, we couldn't resist!
We took a nice walk on Saturday night while it was still snowing. Ginger seems to have a love/hate relationship with the snow. She tries to fight it.. it's really funny. I can't wait to get my Flip Camera for Christmas so you all can see!
I took this picture in the woods near our house.
Of course, no snow day would be complete without a snow angel! It's fun to be a kid sometimes, no matter how old you are! :)
Have a nice Monday everyone! Stay warm and cozy!

Oh that salad looks soo good! And all the vegan goodies - lucky you! It's amazing reading about all these snow storms - usually we get hit pretty badly, but we only got a few inches. I hate driving in it, too. :P
Lucky lady winning all their yummy stuff!! Everything looks tasty!
Happy first day of Winter to you too!!!!!!
Oh man, that collard flat bread is the most tempting, but your cookies are a very close second. So nice to see you and Ginger enjoying the snow, and that you were able to make great use of your time stuck indoors as well!
Lori & Michelle are AMAZING with their raw treats!!
Haha, love the snow angel :)
all those treats look so good! so glad you won.
have fun in the snow.
I like all the big snowflakes in your pictures :)
Your millet-broccoli concoction looks tasty! And those cookies...zomg!
OH my! That box of goodies looks fantastic (as do the salad and cookies you posted after). Enjoy the snow. =)
we got a ton of snow here too, Lauren! dan made snow angels as well (and julie barked at him while he did so - she was too funny!). julie has the same love/hate relationship with the snow. at first she's all excitedfaced and then soon after she's pretty much over it. cracks me up!
hooray for winning lots of scrumptious goodies. the collard flat bread sounds awesome, and i love that your crumbled some up to give a little crunch to your salad. yum! i need to get ani's raw dessert book; the almond-goji cacao chip cookies look wonderful and they sound amazing!
enjoy the snow & stay warm, my friend!
You little snow bunny, you! PS- I am totally jealous that you won that giveaway!
Glad you have been enjoying your treats : ) Love the snow angel...we did not get any snow here, so we did not get to play in the snow : ( Your millet dish looks so yummy!!!
Those pictures really made me wish for summer, when the avocados and tomatoes are so ripe! Just ate a gluten-free cookie (or 3) and am now wishing I had one of your delicious meals instead!
Congrats on the win! Food looks awesome! And love the snow! Well, only when I don't have to go anywhere. :)
