I didn't mention this the other day because I was hoping for good results, and I wanted tell you when I found out.. yesterday I had a colonoscopy. Turns out my Crohn's is still active, and I don't know if a baby is in the near future. I have to see him in his office after another test on Monday the 15th. He will probably talk to me further, but since the Crohn's is active, I highly doubt I will get the green light. I am pretty sad about it, but I am going to keep hope. :( It feels like I lost something I never had.
Anyway, I have a bunch of meals from last weekend, so I will play catch up now. This green juice was: Romaine, Lemon, Apple, Cucumber.
I've been enjoying kale salads a lot lately. Mostly for dinner. This was a dinner one night with two sweet potatoes on the side. Veggie Girl taught me this yummy idea of putting coconut oil on top! Mmm! I think she said Gena gave her the idea! ;)
Last weekend T and I went to a great health food store that is a trip away from us (like 45 minutes). Anyway, I wanted to get some raw goodies here's what I got: Go Raw Pizza Flax Snax (love these), Go Raw Apple Cinnamon Grawnola, Brad's Raw Chips in Cheddar, Parma, 2 Righteously Raw Chocolate Bars, a Raw Organic Food Bar, and a cute little tin with Meditative Tea leaves in it. I might make that tonight, I need all the calming I can get. I don't want my Crohn's to flare from this setback.
Another night I made a kale salad with a Trader Joes Masala Burger on the side. I wrapped it in a cabbage leaf and topped it with organic stone ground mustard, Bubbies raw pickles, and avocado.
I had some leftover Cheesy Nacho Hemp Sauce from Kristen's Raw recipe I made on my birthday so I cut up some carrots and broccoli and dipped them along with Brad's Raw chips. Mmmm... this stuff is even better the next day! I will definitely be enjoying this again soon!
Finally, the winner of the Glass Dharma gift code for $25.00 is.. Joanna Steven! Congrats Joanna! Please email me your email and I will send you the gift code! Thanks to everyone who entered! I have another giveaway coming up in a few weeks!
