Memorial Day Weekend Adventures: Part 2

Hey Everyone! I hope you are having a super week! :) It is hot, hot, hot here! I've never been so hot. I guess it comes with the pregnancy territory! To continue on with my weekend post, we left off at the strawberry farm. We stopped by a great health food store in the area (that we visit often). I had a yummy salad with falafel and tahini for lunch!
I also snacked on these: Food Alive Onion Garlic Flax Crackers. These are VERY smelly! LOL, T wouldn't come near me after a few of these! Ha ha! But I did like them, they were kind of addictive!
I also picked up this cute little lip gloss: Booda Balm! 100% Pure natural ingredients and all vegan! I especially love the little Buddha on the front!
Now onto to the strawberries.. I made some yummy strawberry milk (which I used up in my smoothies in 2 days!). I just blended cashews, strawberries and almond milk with a little agave. YUM! We also made strawberry ice cream. I forgot to take pics, but I still have some, so that will be soon!
We harvested some kale from our garden! How beautiful is that!
I enjoyed this yummy salad with kale right from my garden on Sunday night. This had some more garlic and onion raw crackers, avocado, Bubbies, cherry tomatoes, and nutritional yeast. The kale was so tender and soft! I've never had kale so delicious! I have 6 more heads that are going to be cut in the next week for kale salad lunches and dinners.
Monday morning I used some of my strawberry milk to make this yummy smoothie. I also added some of the fresh picked strawberries (that I froze), a banana, Chia seeds, DHA oil, spinach, and Sunwarrior Protein.
After that we took Ginger for a nice morning walk to the park..
It became very hot on the way and T had to carry her most of the way home! LOL!!! Yes, I cut poor T's head off, I was trying to highlight the dramatic pug, not his charmingly good looks! :)
She was beyond exhausted.. poor thing! Pugs really don't like the heat, but she LOVES going on walks!
We also went to the garden center and I bought this little guy for my window sill. An aloe vera plant! Growing up my mother always rubbed fresh aloe on our faces, it's so refreshing! Especially after being outside all day!
Finally, to wrap up our LOOOONG weekend: brussell sprouts and quinoa. Simple and delicious! A perfect end to a perfect weekend!
I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today and yesterday were nice relaxing days at home! :) Nesting at it's best!
