The End of a Wonderful Staycation


Hey All! I hope your weekend was great! On Thursday T and I headed to Brooklyn for some more staycation fun. T wanted to go to an Italian place for pizza he had heard about and I wanted to get some raw food to-go from Rockin' Raw. Unfortunately, Rockin' Raw wasn't open yet and we didn't feel like hanging around for an hour or so until they opened (plus this pregnant lady was HUNGRY!). So we just headed home and actually arrived home before they would of even been open. I did take some fun pictures..


On Saturday we took a ride to Rutherford to Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Our favorite vegan cupcake place. We got one carrot cake and one "True Blood." I HAD to have an Eric cupcake!!! Before we left I saw they tweeted that anyone who comes in with a TrueBlood t-shirt on will get a free Trueblood cupcake!!! T actually has a "BonTemps Football" t-shirt, so I convinced him to put it on and off we went!  Yum! Eric was delicious! ;)
We finally picked a cantaloupe from our garden. Sadly, something ate both watermelons so this was all we had as far as melons. And another sadface because T wanted to open this one when I told him it wasn't ripe (do men ever listen?). So this wasn't exactly soft and sweet like a cantaloupe should be. Over eager son of a.. LOL! 
On Sunday, we just hung out at home. Football season has begun (SIGH), so I nest while T watches. We picked up some lunch beforehand. I got vegan split pea soup. Perfect for the rainy gray day we were having (not that I am complaining..bring on Fall!). Lately I haven't been craving raw foods. I am a little nauseous again and comfort foods seem to make me feel best. I'll go with it. Two and half months left before our little Starshine is here!!
Have a great day everyone!

Those cupcakes look yummy Lauren and what a shame that something ate your watermelons!! Pesky little critters! And that your other melon wasn't quite ripe! Hopefully Eric helped to ease the pain ;) xxx

OMG - TRUE BLOOD CUPCAKES?!?! I NEED. (Sorry for all caps, but 'twas necessary!) :) And I am JEALOUS that you have a "Bon Temps" t-shirt! In fact, a friend & I walked past someone wearing the same T tonight & we both said, "I need that!!!" :-D

I want a Lafayette cupcake. Or a Bill cupcake. Or a Jason Stackhouse cupcake... Mmm, Jason Stackhouse.

Okay, I'm becoming creepy.

So glad you enjoyed your staycation, mama!
