Weekend Eats and Another Candle79 Meal!

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks again for all the well wishes and love! I am still feeling sick, but I am so incredibly happy to have life growing inside of me! It's unreal how happy I feel inside!! T and I spent most of our weekend inside on the couch (good thing we were having crappy weather). I will be happy when this passes. But I'm just ridding with it now, knowing it's what's best for the baby.

Anyway, remember a few weeks back when I told you all about The Nuts Online contest and asked you to vote for "Team Raw?" Well, "Team Raw" won and so did someone who entered my blog as their referring site! Let me know if it was you! I am curious to find out who it was. The winner won a box of raw samples and they also sent another one to me, along with one thing I could choose from the site. I choice their sprouted grain raw cereal. Here it is below with some homemade almond milk. Yum!
I also managed to get down a smoothie at one point before the weekend: Bananas, Sunwarrior, Spirulina, Almond Milk and DHA oil. Someone had asked which DHA I am using.. I use Udo's vegan DHA oil. My Whole Foods doesn't have a wide variety of vegan DHA's, so if you want to suggest a better one, I am all ears!
On Saturday night, my sister had invited us to go to dinner at Candle 79 for her birthday. I wasn't feeling too good, but we made the trip in. I ordered the Guacamole Timbale: chipotle black beans, caramelized onions, cucumber-tomato salsa, tortilla chips, ranchero sauce. Under normal circumstances I am sure I would of loved this. But, since I wasn't feeling to good, it was a bit rich. I gave a lot to my sister.
For dinner I ordered The Mediterranean Tempeh Cake: truffled new potatoes, seasonal vegetables, preserved lemon, artichoke & olive salad. This was really good! Olives and artichokes are two of my favorite thing, so that made for a yummy (filling) meal. We were all really full after eating. But we still ordered a Mexican chocolate brownie: caramelized banana, coconut ice cream, toasted pecans, chocolate-ancho sauce. I am not a big brownie person, so I only had a few bites and ate the coconut ice cream on top.
Even though I wasn't feeling good, we still had a fun time and hope to do it again with my sister and her boyfriend soon. Have a great day everyone!
