MEGA POST!

Hello Snowflakes! Today is T's birthday! Yay! We are going to stay in and make a nice dinner and watch a movie. I will blog about that later on this week. :) I have a lot of food to post today, so I'll get on with it..


My diet has been SUPER amazing lately! I've been eating a lot of raw food and really focusing on getting a lot of nutrition and nutrients for my breastmilk. I haven't been cutting back or counting calories in anyway and I've already lost half my pregnancy weight (baby A was 2 months old yesterday!). I gained  A LOT of weight while pregnant (I blame my Crohn's being under control..lol). So I still have some ways to go. But I am not stressing at all. I've been working out along with eating really well, so the weight has been melting off. Yay for VEGANISM!!! Anyway, I have been having a ton of salads, at least one a day! A new salad place opened in town and T picks me up one a couple days a week.  This one was romaine, carrots, bean sprouts, avocado, olives, mushrooms, chickpeas, black beans and I made my own dressing with curry powder, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.

Another salad from the same place: romaine, carrots, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, bean sprouts and the same dressing.

I had a big bowl of Go Raw Apple Rawnola one day for lunch. I added fresh almond milk, goji berries, banana and black and white dried mulberries.

Last week I made a simple soup on a chilly night. This was carrots, celery, brown rice pasta, white beans and miso. Nothing special, just using up what we had in the fridge!

I did a little stock up at the health food store over the weekend: Go Raw Apple Cinnamon Granola, Go Raw Pizza Flax Snax (I LOVE THESE!), a Righteously Raw Maca Chocolate Bar (this is my favorite raw chocolate brand, the caramel is AMAZING!!!), a few bottles of the best coconut water ever (besides fresh), and a ton of Gopals Raw Nori Wraps (these are great for protein, calcium, iron and protein, perfect snack while nursing!).

I also picked up these frozen gluten free, yeast free pizza crusts. I haven't tried them yet, I am a little nervous since the only ingredients were water, potato, and brown rice flour. I hope they don't taste like cardboard. :)

I picked up a "Sweet Green" juice at the health food store as well: Kale, Apple, Spinach.

This was a delicious meal I made one night for dinner: raw massaged kale topped with raw sauerkraut, cooked quinoa and baked sweet potatoes! OMG, BEST.DISH.EVER!!! All my favorites on one plate!

And finally, another "Chipotle Style" bowl: black rice topped with pinto beans and guacamole. I was asked on my Formspring page for my guacamole recipe and I am embarrassed to say, this is Whole Foods fresh guac! Hey, I have a 2 month old, gotta do, what I gotta do! ;)

Phew, that was a lot of food! I hope you enjoyed! Have a nice day! XO
