Busy Bees

Happy Monday! As always, the weekend flew by! We had so much to do that I feel like I didn't even get a chance to breath! Oh well, I guess that's what the week is for! ;) Anyway, on Friday afternoon I made this green juice: romaine, kale stems, celery and lemon. I didn't realize that we were out of apples until I already started juicing, so I doubled up on the lemon.

A little while later I enjoyed this Lydia's Organics Raw Bar. I found it a little hard, but on the package it says you can moisten it to make it softer. Maybe I'll try that next time.

For dinner we went to the restaurant in our Whole Foods, before doing our grocery shopping. We usually do the salad bar, but it was nice to actually sit in a restaurant setting. The place is attached to Whole Foods and had many vegan and gluten free options. I ordered gluten free pasta with smashed cauliflower, garlic, sun dried tomatoes and fresh herbs. The cauliflower was like a cream sauce. Really yummy!

On Saturday, it was back to Whole Foods for some lunch! I made a big salad with raw kale, avocado, hummus,  roasted potatoes, green beans and broccoli.

Saturday night we had my sister and her boyfriend over for dinner. She brought gluten free vegan lasagna made with cashew cheese! Oh my gosh! This was so delicious! I am getting her recipe soon, I promise I'll post. Although she said she mixed up a few recipes she found online. On the side I made a big salad.

And for dessert I made Judita's Raw Fruit Tart from her new book Going Raw.

This was a hit! So delicious! I love how you can change up the fruit depending on the season. The organic strawberries I used were out-of-this-world!!!! I think I'll make it for the Fourth of July since it looks so patriotic! And come peach season, I definitely plan on making it with fresh peaches! Oh and with apple or pear in the Fall! Perfect seasonal tart!

On Sunday, we went to lunch (we like having lunches out on the weekend, obviously) at a place in town. I ordered a cup of white tea..

A fruit bowl..

And a salad with sprouts, avocado, tomato and onion.

So that was our busy weekend, along with all the eating we had some shopping to do (Thursday is our 5 year wedding anniversary and Sunday is my Mother-in-law's birthday!). Friday night we are going to ABC Kitchen in NYC to celebrate our anniversary. My parents are babysitting, it will be our first night out since Baby A was born! Eek! ;)
