Snowflakes

Hey Star-lights, I hope you all are staying warm! Once again, we had another snow storm last night! I kinda don't mind since I stay in with the baby anyway. But I REALLY can't wait until it warms up so we can play outside and enjoy nature again! Anyway, thanks for all the love on my last post. I am feeling really good on a high raw diet again. I've been eating mostly raw until dinner (with the exceptions of beans, hummus or a Sunshine burger in my salads). I also have been having some high raw dinners, but most of them are cooked. Since it is so cold here, I find that works for us. 


Last night I made a recipe I found in Natural Health magazine. You can find the recipe here as well. Deep dish greens with a millet and amaranth crust. I didn't have amaranth, so this was just a millet crust! ;) This came out pretty good, I probably wouldn't make it again though. 
A picture of our yard as of lately..
Back tracking to T's birthday, he wanted a Tex-Mex style dish, kinda like the "Chipotle Bowls" I have been making. This one had black rice with corn and black beans and topped with guacamole and salsa. I think next time I make one of these I am going to put it over shredded lettuce to make it high raw.
We took a ride on T's birthday with our little boo-boo bear. Of course this was before the snow storm! I can't believe how big she is getting!!
Some green juice on a snowy afternoon: Romaine, Kale Stems, Apple, Lemon. 
This was a yummy snack plate I made for myself: carrots, celery and romaine sprinkled with curry powder and dipped in hummus. Lately I have been in love with romaine sprinkled with curry powder, it's so simple, crisp and refreshing, you don't need dressing at all!
Have a beautiful day all! I have a busy little weekend ahead: tomorrow we are going to my mother in laws house for a birthday pizza party for T, myself and his brother. Vegan, gluten free pizza for me! Then on Saturday I am going for a massage with my mother in law and bestie for my birthday. My birthday isn't until Tuesday, but I am making it a week long event! LOL!! Tuesday night we are going to a vegan restaurant for dinner, they have a ton of great raw options so I am excited! My parents will be watching Baby A for the hour or so, I am so nervous to leave her! I might cry!!!!!

aw, love the pic of your pink snow angel! She's grown so much! And all the snow! I'm so not jealous. ha ha! Happy week long birthday! Should be so much fun. And at least you'll know that baby A will be in good hands. that Tex-Mex bowl looks so good! And over some romaine would be extra tasty. Good call.

You so deserve the massage, enjoy it! Baby A will be fine for a little while. Leave her a bottle if you can or feed her lots before you go.

Love all your eats. I will have to try the romaine and curry, interesting idea.

Happy Early B-day!

Dear me! Your daughter is a little person! It's amazing how fast she's growing, Lauren. And how beautiful she is :)

I'm back online. I haven't been on in a while. Wow baby A is growing so fast. She just keeps on getting cuter! I'll have to make those greens and millet look yummy!
I've been eating more raw throughout the day as well.
So glad to hear you are doing good!
