Tomorrow I have a colonoscopy. This isn't my first one, so I know what to expect, but for some reason I am super nervous! My sister will be watching Baby A, and I plan on giving her a few pumped bottles because I don't want the laxative I have to take to effect her. Although, I read it is fine (and my doctor said so). Wish me luck!
Anyway, going back to last week, I made a delicious new salad. I used Mustard Greens because my Whole Foods was out of organic kale (blasphemy!). I was a little nervous to use them the same way I use kale (massaged with olive oil, lemon and herbs), but they turned out delicious! Super spicy!! Probably not for everyone, but I don't mind. I added cooked quinoa, chickpeas, avocado and raw kraut.

| I also tried a new kombucha last week by Kombucha Brooklyn. I found it to be kinda watery and not fizzy at all. GTs is still my favorite! |
 |
| I made another mustard green salad, on a different night, with avocado and radishes from our garden. On the side I had a sweet potato that I topped with coconut oil and ground pepper. Coconut oil is amazing on veggies, reminds me of butter, but without the ick! |
 |
| On Friday night we had dinner at the Osteria restaurant inside of our Whole Foods. I ordered gluten free pasta with Puttenesca Sauce. T and I both found the portion of pasta to be way too much (he had the same thing). So we had to take home more then half of both of our dishes. |
 |
| I ordered a side of broccoli rabe in garlic and olive oil (would of ordered this with a salad if I knew how much pasta they were going to give me!). I think I'll do that next time. The broccoli rabe was delicious! |
 |
| My favorite weekend breakfast: chocolate rawnola! This time I topped it with raw freeze dried strawberries, almond milk and fresh banana. |
 |
| And a little tease for my next post.. someone went swimming! My Facebook friends already saw the pictures (and video!). I won't be posting them all here (or the video), so friend me! |
 |
| Have a wonderful day all! |

Awww love the ladybug outfit :)
Good luck with the colonoscopy, can't say that sounds fun.
The salad looks great as always and the sweet potato too! It's been too long since I had one.
GT's is my #1 kombucha choice, I always find myself going back to it after trying the others. It's the fizziest! Good luck tomorrow :)
Good luck tomorrow. I've had one of those bad boys too ;) Baby A is so so adorable! I think I have a problem with eating huge portions because I probably would have eaten that whole plate of pasta ;) That's so cool that your WHole Foods has a restaurant in it!I love coco oil + butter on sweets too with some brown mustard. Have a great finish to the long weekend =)
Baby A has a love bug outfit (like her big sis, Ginger!). Sweet. Couldn't you just gnaw on those thighs for hours and hours?
Holding good thoughts for you tomorrow and showering you in love and light.
xo!
