Celebrating 60!

Hey Sunshine's! I hope you are all having a great week! Last Saturday night, we celebrated my Dad's 60th Birthday! My Mom had a big bash for him with lots of vegan food for my sister and I (well, we supplied the vegan eats). Here I am with Baby A!

I started off with some raw veggies and hummus. I get really excited for hummus! Love the stuff! I actually brought a raw veggie platter and some hummus from Trader Joes.

This was my dinner plate: a big salad dressed in a dressing my brother made (olive oil, balsamic vinegar and mustard), quinoa salad that my Mom made (quinoa with avocado, red peppers, corn), and a BIG helping of  my sister's gluten free, vegan lasagna (made with cashew cheese). That lasagna is so damn good!!! I definitely suggest making it!

I also made a raw vegan banana cream pie! I basically processed a cup of macadamia nuts, a cup of cashews, about 1 tablespoon of coconut nectar and 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, then pressed that into the bottom of a pan for the crust. For the filling, I blended about 4 bananas (add water to make it workable, but make sure it's still nice and thick), 2-3 tablespoons of coconut nectar (taste for sweetness), 1/4 cup of coconut flakes, a pinch of sea salt, 1/4 cup of cashews and some alcohol free vanilla extract. I added that on top of the crust, sliced some bananas and sprinkled some coconut flakes on top. Then I froze it for a few hours and let it thaw for about 30 minutes before serving. This came out perfect! Even some non-vegans enjoyed it!

The party was great and my Dad had a wonderful time! :) Have a great day everyone!
