Weekend Highlights

Hey All! I hope you had a great weekend! Happy first day of Summer!! Thanks for all the well wishes, I am still feeling dizzy in the mornings and now I am having some nausea! So much for thinking it was gone! 17 weeks and it's back! But, luckily, much milder then those first few months.

On Friday, I was lucky enough to receive an email from my Whole Foods letting me know that they got Blue Mountain Raw Cashew Creamery ice cream in, at my request! Whooohoo!! Luckily, I was going there later on anyway, for my weekly shopping. They told me they only have vanilla and chocolate at this time, but they plan on getting more flavors in soon! Of course I went with chocolate..
I made myself a chocolate ice cream sundae with fresh organic strawberries and raspberries and some mint from my herbs.
This ice cream is delicious!!! I like it better then some of the other raw ice creams I have purchased. The chocolate tasted just like a chocolate mousse, airy and creamy. Mmm!
Saturday morning I made this delicious smoothie: Blueberry/Green Smoothie: Blueberries, Spinach, Banana, Sunwarrior Protein, DHA oil, Spirulina, Almond Milk.
Sunday morning I had Kaia's Cocoa Bliss Raw Granola topped with banana, raspberries, strawberries and almond milk. All organic of course!
Yesterday we had dinner at my mother in laws house. This was my plate (sorry for the blurry picture): salad with lots of goodies in it, roasted baby potatoes and broccoli rabe. She is an amazing cook. Her salads and broccoli rabe are the best I've ever had! I brought some home for leftovers tonight! ;)
Have a great day everyone!

Yummy food, as always!

Sorry to hear your nausea has returned, that's rubbish. Sounds like you're enjoying your pregnancy nonetheless :)

Feel better soon xxx

That ice cream sounds good! I love cashews and it must make a great ice cream! I'll have to see if our wholefoods here carries it.

Love the look of the sundae and the smoothie, I probably shouldn't look at these blogs when I'm hungry, drool drool... x

So glad you are taking your DHA, pregant lady! I was thinking of you when writing my post on it.

I need to try that ice cream. Maybe I will find it on the east coast since I haven't seen it out here. We do have a local raw ice cream but it is like 1/3 the size of that container for $8. Steep!

Love cocao bliss too.

Glad your MIL made you some good stuff.
