I will be celebrating with green juice, a green smoothie and some broccolini later! :) Are you doing anything fun today? I am not a drinker, so this isn't my holiday of choice. I am sure most of my high school/Facebook friends will be posting drunk sloppy pictures of themselves tomorrow, lol, not me!
Anyway, I've been feeling really great. I don't want to jinx it but my Crohn's has been at bay for awhile now! Phew! Let's hope it stays away!!
Earlier this week, I made a yummy kale salad with leftover hummus, lemon juice, olive oil and raw pickles. On the side I baked a sweet potatoes and added some black beans on top. Currently, I am obsessed with Cumin! I put it on everything! So I added that to the beans and salad!
Yesterday was beautiful here!! Today should be more of the same! Bye-bye rain: HELL-OOO Sunshine! We took Ginger for a long walk yesterday afternoon. She's gotta lose her Winter weight. HA HA!
For dinner I made some quinoa with broccoli. I added coconut oil, Bragg's, Curry Powder, and of course CUMIN! Perfect meal in a bowl!
Lastly, don't forget to vote everyday for Crazy Sexy Life in the Treehugger.com awards in Health and Food category! 
Also check out this new and funny vegan blog: Kiss My Grass! It guarantees a good laugh!
I also wanted to share with you all this awesome live camera of a hummingbird who is laying on it's nest waiting for her eggs to hatch. The live stream is on all day. I've become obsessed! Yesterday, a big lizard came into the screen and I've never been so nervous in my life!!! Thank God the hummingbird came back and scared it away before it took her eggs! Phew! I check in on her every so often, her name is Phoebe, but I like the name Hummus: The Hummingbird better! :) Unfortunately, there hasn't been any sign of her today. The lizard may have made her jump ship. She did take one of the eggs with her. I am still hoping she comes back!

ginger needs to work off a few ounces huh? so does sienna. did didn't fit into one of her coats the other day! can't have that cramping her style.
What a beautiful hummingbird!
I love cumin too and I am always using it.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Kale salad... yum! We had a large green smoothie this morning and a nice large green spinach sauerkraut salad for dinner! We LOVE CUMIN as well!

Your salad looks terrific--hummus and kale would make a perfect combination!
Happy St Patty's Day!
Lauren your the bestest!! Thanks! Look at that little ginger snap...aww. and now I want a sweet potato...:)
Glad to hear you're feeling good these days (shhh, I say that quietly *wink*). Your kale salad is cute with the lone Bubbies on top. Yum! Good call on the black beans too topped with cumin. Can't go wrong there.
YAY FOR SUN!
Nice green day! :) I am happy to hear that you are feeling good. My friend has Crohn's so I kinda know the ups and downs. Thanks for the link to the hummingbird. My boys and I are watching.
I don't drink alcohol either, but I like eating green food all day. I had a green smoothie for breakfast, some green pears during the day, green pudding, kale chips and other green veggies. Oh yeah, I also had pistachios.
By the way, I think Hummus is the perfect name for the hummingbird.
That is such a neat site! They should have more animals to watch! Congrats on your longstanding remission. I KNOW it will last. Remember, if you put "hope" out into the universe, it will give you more hope for healing, not healing, back. The universe is very literal. Say you KNOW it will last!
Of any two blogger's palettes, I think you and I might be most similar! All of these meals look amazing, and I'm a fanatic for cumin, too :-)
