The Good Life

Hey Loves, I hope you had a great weekend! :) We had a lot going on, as usual. Including our annual block party and T running The Spartan Race. Baby A and I didn't go to the race since it was in PA, he said it was fun but tough. I'm thinking of doing Warrior Dash with him next year. He did it a month ago and said it was a blast. Have you ever done a mud run?  


Anyway, before the weekend started, I had this dinner of millet with black beans topped with raw peppers, raw kraut and avocado. 


Since T had off the whole week, we took a ride to Good Karma Cafe on Thursday and grabbed some lunch. I had Raw Nachos! These were so good. Raw Mexican food in my favorite!
I also had a "Live Lemonade"- Apple, Lemon and Ginger juice.
We had our lunch as takeout and brought it over to the marina and ate. Baby A enjoyed watching the boats. 
I also grabbed some raw cookies...
These were delicious! Cacao chips, sunflowers, buckwheat groats, sesame seeds, mmm, so tasty!
For dinner I made a HUGE salad with raw pickles, a Sunshine Burger, hummus, cucumber, avocado and cherry tomatoes.
Baby A and I shared cantaloupe blended with ice for dessert. She loved it!
I have more from the weekend, I'll be back soon! ;) Have a great day all!

I did the Dash last month and loved it. It was my second time running. We also were supposed to do the Spartan in PA but because of the massive flooding we couldn't get there. :( Next year though.

I love the idea of putting a sunshine burger and pickels in a salad! I make juice pulp burgers and put them in my salads sometimes, but I've never added pickels. I'll have to give it a try.

A few of my friends just did the warrior dash and loved it. I'm thinking about joining the fun next year.

Your dessert sounds so refreshing.

Never have done a mud run but looks super fun - intense but fun! And I want those nachos!!!

Callie {Rawxy} said...

Yup, yup - Raw mexican food is the best! I think it's because raw ingredients are so well suited for it - cilantro, avocados, tomatoes, etc... Love!

Those nachos look awesome! I LOVE raw Mexican food, too.

I've never done a mud run before, but it looks like fun.

Yummy eats, as usual. I knew there would be a sunshine burger in there somewhere.

I keep seeing raw nachos on other blogs, too. Now, I'm really craving them ... and that live lemonade :-)

It's been simply ages since I've come to see your site (I'm Charissa from what used to be Raw Royalty) and it's great to see it again!

How are you doing?
