Anyway, on Friday afternoon T and I took a spur of the moment trip to see his mother. She had called us to tell us she went shopping for maternity clothes for me and wanted us to pick them up. Who could say no to that? Everything she bought was adorable and perfect. A few tops to grow into, some capri's, a dress, I am all set! We got to hit up my favorite health food store too, so I grabbed all my goodies: Emmy's Raw Macaroons: Lemon Ginger, Go Raw Pizza Flax Snax, Kaia Foods Cheesy Kale Chips (A-MAZING!) a ton of Livin Spoonful Pesto Pumpkin Seed Raw Crackers (this is my favorite flavor, which they never have and favorite raw cracker ever), some gluten-free pasta, Kaia Foods Raw Sunflower seeds Teriyaki, and a Righteously Raw Caramel Bar. I'm set..at least for this week! ;)
I made this delicious smoothie Saturday morning: Mango, Raspberries, Spinach, Banana, Sunwarrior, Maca Powder, DHA, Chia, Almond Milk, 2 Dried Turkish Figs.
I also had Raw Onion Bread in the dehydrator for almost two days and it was finally done of Saturday morning! Wow, this is amazing! They are not going to last very long! I used this recipe in case anyone is wondering.
Saturday was my mother in law's birthday. She came up along with my future sister in law and 2 brothers in law and we went to a raw food demonstration at Whole Foods (the guys went to lunch), taught by the lovely Green Mom Zoe! The class was wonderful, it was an introduction class, so I knew a lot of the information, but it was nice to refresh my mind. I was so happy that there was a good turn out. I am hoping raw foods get more noticed in my area (and my Whole Foods).
Zoe made us this delicious raw zucchini pasta! I loved that she added ginger to the sauce, it gave it a wonderful bite! Usually, I am not a big fan of raw pasta, but this was so delicious I would eat it every night! Thanks Zoe for such a wonderful experience!
After the class, we headed to the city to celebrate my mother in laws birthday at Candle 79! I ordered The Hummus Plate as an appetizer (the gluten free version with flax crackers). Roasted garlic, olives and hummus: YUM!
For my entree I ordered a double order of the Raw Pad Thai appetizer. This was amazing! So fresh and flavorful! I had some left over that I am going to add to my kale salad later on! Yay!
I hope you all had a great weekend and a wonderful day! Don't forget to enter my latest giveaway!
