This week has been crazy! T's brother and my bestie are getting married on Friday! T is the best man and I am a bridesmaid. We are super excited! I will take lots of pics, since she is a vegan, there will be plenty of vegan options!
Anyway, I picked up some new raw kraut this week. This is made locally (in New York). I really should make my own, but who has the time!! ;)
 |
| I tried it on a salad of romaine, hummus, Bubbies, a Sunshine Burger and cucumbers from my garden. Yummy! |
 |
| Speaking of our garden.. |
 |
| Tomatoes are almost ready! |
 |
| Peppers! |
 |
| T's hot peppers! |
 |
| Our cucumber wall! We let Baby A lick a little cucumber this week. She seemed to like it. We plan on introducing some solids in the near future. She will be 8 months on the 24th, so probably sometime in August since she is starting to show signs. We plan on making the bulk of her diet still breastmilk until she is at least a year. :) |
 |
| Another Buddha bowl: raw kale, olives, avocado, hummus, millet and black beans. I cooked the millet in coconut oil instead of olive oil and it came out super yummy! Almost "buttery!" |
 |
| And finally, the winner of a copy of Veganomicon is.... JENNA! Congrats!! Please email me: LaurenGingerRose@gmail.com with your info! Thanks again everyone and thank you VeganMeals.com for this wonderful giveaway! |

At first I was bummed that I missed the giveaway, but then I saw it was for "Veganomicon," which I already own - so I'm glad someone else won a copy! It's a GREAT book.
Oops, that last comment was from me. :) I was signed in under my other email address.
As Lindsay said the Garden looks amazing!
Congrats Jenna! We'll be sending it your way as soon as you pass on your details to Lauren!
Thanks for participating!
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you SO MUCH! I can't wait to get it :)
I also can't wait to see pics from the wedding- have a wonderful time!
making kraut does not take that much time but patience it does require. but if you have a baby you are off the hook. ;-) i love my local kraut and have been enjoying that too.
congrats to your friend on the wedding! it will be nice having options to eat, most weddings are pretty tough to get fed at as a vegan.
Your garden is looking so amazing! I have a ways to go before my tomatoes are done.
Yay a Vegan wedding...at least half vegan right?
Congrats to Jenna. Just saw a copy of that book at our library. Plan on checking it out soon.
Oh yeah, I've had that brand's raw kim chee and it is the best! I love how you put it on salads.
you are lucky to have a local place make kraut..we make our own, but there are times when I wish it was already done. love it

I just did my garden post too!!! LOL I need to know more about that cucumber wall!! Our cucmber vine is taking over!!!
Wow your garden looks beautiful!!!! Thriving and gorgeous! I am a huge fan of the sunshine burgers, they are about as natural as you can get for a cooked burger and so tasty!!! I love that there are only like 4 ingredients or something like that, yum!
I thought I didn't have time to make my own sauerkraut....well, until I did it. It literally took me about 20 minutes, start to finish.
6 cups shredded cabbage (I just did this by hand with a sharp knife)
4 tbsp sea salt
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (opt)
1 c onion, thinly sliced
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced (opt)
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp fennel seed
2 cups water
2 probiotic capsules
In a large bowl, I put the cabbage and salt and just beat it with the end of a large cooking spoon until it was pretty limp. Stirred in the garlic, jalapeno, onion, and seeds. Pack into a quart mason jar. Whisk water and probiotic together. Pour over sauerkraut until at the neck of the jar. I folded up a whole cabbage leaf and put it on top to keep it pushed down. Fill up to about an inch of the top with the rest of the water. Put lid on, almost completely and sit on counter in warm spot for 4-6 days until you see bubbles.
It's delicious and seriously easy!
Wow, I didn't think I was that far behind on your blog but I think I'm caught up now. :)
Your garden is amazing! Love it!
