Meals and Coco Joy Heaven

Hey Everyone! I hope you are having a nice week so far. Thanks for all the lovely compliments on Baby A. She is such a little lover! I can't take it, I am so in love with her! OH and she is getting so chubby, her little legs and arms have rolls now, I just want to bite her! Ha ha! Anyway, on Sunday it was rainy out so I made my favorite comfort meal for dinner: Rice and Beans with Guacamole. I used pinto beans and black rice and store bought guacamole (time saver!). Yummy!
On Monday, I made a Buddha Bowl for dinner. This one had raw collards (massaged with olive oil), wild black rice, chickpeas, hemp seeds, raw olives and sun dried tomatoes. We have Buddha Bowls weekly now. I just switch up the veggies or grain to make it interesting.
For lunch earlier this week, I made my usual "Lauren Style" salad: Sunshine Burger, Bubbies Pickles, Sun dried tomatoes and Mesclun. I usually use romaine, but I thought I'd change it up this week. Variety is important for health! ;)
Last night I cooked some kale with olives, sun dried tomatoes and tomato sauce and put it over some quinoa. Yummy!
I tried a new flavor of KeVita yesterday, Lemon Ginger. At first I didn't like it at all. But after a few sips I was hooked!
I got my hands on a box of Coco Joy!!! Oh My Gosh!!! In case you don't know, Coco Joy is a raw vegan treat made by The Raw Bakery. 
They taste like chocolate covered macaroons!!! I loooove raw macaroons, so these are right up my alley! ;) I will be enjoying these baby's for awhile..or not! He he!
Have a nice day all!
