Anyway, lot's of yummy meals this week. One breakfast I've been really enjoying is Two Mom's in The Raw Granola with lots of fresh fruit on top. This one had strawberries, bananas and raspberries topped with almond milk (all organic).
I've been using my citrus press a lot too! I made some yummy grapefruit juice the other morning! No sweetener needed! I love grapefruit on it's on or juiced, I never add Stevia or agave!
For lunch, I've been making amazing cucumbers salads with cucumbers right from my garden! This one had grape tomatoes, cracked black pepper, Himalayan sea salt, Nutritional Yeast and this delicious dressing that the people from Foods Alive sent me!
A nice bowl of Organic Rainier Cherries for a mid-day snack! I just love Summer fruit, I know I've said that 1,000 times, but I really can't get enough!
For dinner one night I made quinoa and added some roasted brussell sprouts and peas, I also topped it with a drizzle of the same dressing I used on the cucumber salad. YUM!
More juice from my citrus press: this time I made orange and grapefruit. A lovely blend! :)
And finally, my dinner last night. I really wasn't in the mood for anything so I blended up a few bananas, some Sunwarrior Protein, Blue Mountain Organic Raw Ice Cream (this time I got Vanilla, I didn't like it as much as the chocolate), almond milk and some cacao nibs. This definitely hit the spot. Later (waaay after digesting), I had a big bowl of watermelon. My appetite has been all over this week. I read that it is common, so hopefully I will be in the mood to eat again soon!

All your excitement...such fun! Food looks yummy! Enjoy!
Exciting!!! Can't wait to see your little pregnancy bump (does that sound weird?).
I LOVE roasted brussel sprouts, big time, But I'm can't find them over here much since they're out of season. Grapefruit juice sounds awesome! I think I'm going to give that a whirl. Is it less acidic than lemon and orange?
Happy hump day!
