A Festivus For the Rest of Us!

Hey Loves! Merry Christmas Eve Eve, AKA: Festivus! ;) We bought some Festivus Chai Tea at Whole Foods, we are trying it out tonight. Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts this week, I am sure you all understand that I am busy, busy, busy! I can't wait for Baby A to have a wonderful Christmas (even if she doesn't "understand" yet).


Onto eats, for lunch one day, I made a salad of romaine, live kraut, hummus, Bubbies pickles and a Sunshine Burger. 
A dinner from last week: brown rice, lima beans, mushrooms, white beans and tomato sauce.
I made myself this snack while Baby A was napping: "Ants on a Log": celery with raw almond butter and raisins.
Another snack plate: raw veggies and hummus with cayenne and ground pepper on top.
Baby A's plate for dinner one night: (all organic and vegan) lima beans and white beans, frozen  blueberries and soaked raisins.
When I wasn't feeling well, one night last week, T made me soup! He used rice, lima beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, garlic and low sodium vegetable broth. This was so good!!! Move over Chicken Noodle!!!
Speaking of T, he brought me home a dozen red roses on Wednesday. I was wondering why, then a little while later, he told me we are going to be gutting our upstairs bathroom (the only one with a shower). LOL!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!! Merry Christmas!! XOXO

Merry Christmas Eve Eve to you too, Lauren! Your meals, treats and snacks look wonderful (as I sit here and drool). Wishing you and your sweet family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I await the pictures you'll post of Baby A this Christmas. The expression of wonder is so precious! Enjoy your Festivus! xo

I bet Santa would love some ants on a log instead of cookies this year. I thought about that when I read the plate you served them on.

Gorgeous roses. Hope you don't have to give up the upstairs bathroom for too long.

Haha T way to butter you up before pulling that one on you. I need to remember that technique.

Sorry you weren't too well, hope you get some rest over the holidays. Hopefully some relatives will chase little baby A for awhile for you.

Tee hee! Love how T buttered you up before sharing his news! lol! Smart. ;)

And I see a theme here: lima beans! You're one of the few people I know who loves them. My dad and aunts love them too. Me...not so much. But the eats still look great! Love all the good things baby A eats. Good girl!

Merry Christmas!
