Spring has Sprung (FINALLY)

Hey All! I hope you had a wonderful week! The weather has been so warm here and we are loving all the time outdoors! Look at how much our garden has thrived! :)
I will get back to that later... Anyway, this was a delicious meal I made for dinner one night: raw kale, black rice, hummus, chickpeas and avocado. 
Back to the garden, I harvest mesclun all week for lunch!!!  So delicious and soft! And the best part.. It will grow back for another round!! This was a salad I made with a Sunshine Burger, hummus, Bubbies and raw olives.
Took this picture on one of our amazing walks this week..
T is still growing wheatgrass like a mad man!! Ha ha! He juices it then freezes it in ice cube trays so that none goes to waste! 
And finally, no post is complete without a little chocolate. This week I bought the Chocolate Chip Mint flavor or ChocAlive raw vegan truffles.
I liked the pistachio better and usually mint chocolate is my favorite! Oh well, I wonder what flavor I'll try next..
Have a fabulous weekend all! XO

I am so loving the garden photo. I am so envious of the weather difference. I have a few pots growing in my spare bedroom. I also love the wheatgrass. It looks so tall and green. I haven't had it for a little while.

Thanks for sharing.
