Weekend Round-up

Happy Monday! I had a nice peaceful weekend, filled with relaxing and fun. But before that, I made Gena's: Fennel, Cabbage and Carrot Slaw with Poppyseed Dressing. Only I didn't have fennel or carrots, so I used purple cabbage and green cabbage and for the dressing I used cashews in place of pine nuts. Totally yummy! I love eating this slaw the next day too! Mmm! I had a Sunshine Burger with avocado and Bubbies Pickles and Sauerkraut on top!This was a green smoothie I made over the weekend: Cilantro, Pineapple, Mango, Vanilla Sunwarrior Protein, Bananas, Maca, vegan DHA oil, Chia and Flaxseeds.
I also made "Vegan, Gluten free, Daiya Eggplant Parm", I made it the same way you would make regular Eggplant Parmesan, but instead of dipping the eggplant in eggs, I dipped them in olive oil and gluten free vegan bread crumbs. In place of the cheese I used Daiya. This was a yummy comfort meal. I like to make this one in a blue moon, but usually with no cheese at all. Daiya has changed that!
Yesterday, T and I went to NYC for the day. We walked around little Italy (T wanted pizza) and then went over to Chelsea Market to walk around. They have a ton of cute little bakeshops, cafes and other stores in there. It's kind like a mini mall. Best of all, they have a One Lucky Duck (Pure Food & Wine's Takeaway place)!!! I got a falafel salad (my favorite). I've ordered this in the past, and mentioned how their falafel is better then any cooked falafel I've ever had! I'm a huge fan!
I also took a Mallomar to go! I was hoping for a Moonpie, but they didn't have any. Although, any dessert they make is out of this world, you really can not go wrong! By the way, have you seen the awesome contest going on by Heathy of Sweetly Raw! Make your own Moonpie! I wish I was as talented as these folks!
Mmm, so rich and creamy! Perfect end to a weekend! I hope you all had a great one! Any plans for the week? I have some little things going, nothing too exciting. But, yay for nice weather!! Have a great day! XO
