A Snowy Halloween!

Hey Snowflakes... YES SNOWFLAKES! I'll get to that later..


Happy Halloween! I will have some pictures of Baby A in her costume in my next post. 


Anyway, I hope you all had a great weekend. Before the weekend, I made some raw kale with quinoa, acorn squash, raw kraut, and my new favorite thing: Horseradish Hummus!  
I picked the hummus up at Trader Joe's. So yummy!!! I wish it was organic..
The pups went for a nice walk, before the weekend cold front came..
I enjoyed my favorite forgotten about snack: apple and banana slices stuffed with raw almond butter! Mmm..
T and I took Baby A to our favorite Sushi Restaurant on Thursday. She was a little angel and sat and played while we ate. I gave her some mango and avocado out of my salad and she was as happy as can be!
I ordered 2 avocado rolls with black rice and 2 regular avocado cucumber rolls.
By the time the weekend arrived, the weather had gotten dramatically colder. Winter storm COLD!!! On Friday night I made some canellini beans with brown rice, tomato sauce, mushrooms and peppers. This came out like a soup. Perfect!
On Saturday, we hit up Whole Foods for lunch. I made a salad of potatoes, white beans, raw kale and chana masala.
We headed home after that because it was SNOWING!!! Yes, we had a snow storm before Halloween! Here is my backyard. We lost some branches because the trees were so heavy because the leaves haven't fallen off yet.
More from the weekend soon! Don't forget to enter my latest giveaway!!!

Crazy storms huh? I never remember it ever snowing in October, at least that stuck. And I'm from up north.

I had an avocado roll the other night too. I think black rice is a cute idea for it.

Glad I got a sneak peek of Baby A's costume. Super cute. will she go trick or treating?

I have lived in places where once in a while we had an October snow. It's too early anywhere! But it is pretty. Glad you're safe and sound.

Horseradish hummus?! Oh my, I need to find that! Wish it was organic too. Might have to make my own.
