Going way back to last weekend, T, Baby A and I went to the mall (which is a rare occurrence, LOL), but I had gift cards for Nordstrom that I wanted to spend (and still have some left over! SCORE!). Anyway, we had lunch at Cheesecake Factory.. I know, doesn't sound very healthy, but to my surprise, they had a healthy menu with some great salads (when you take off the chicken, cheese, etc). I ordered a salad that had romaine, beets, asparagus, apple, edamame, peppers and tomatoes on it. The portion was perfect and it was pretty tasty!
 |
| I made myself a delicious afternoon pick-me-up smoothie one day. I used frozen banana, Sunwarrior Chocolate Warrior Blend Protein (love this stuff), almond milk, almond butter, chlorella and some Maca. |
 |
| For dinner one night we had a big salad that I topped with White Bean Sweet Potato Burgers! I used gluten free bread crumbs and quinoa flour instead of the gluten ingredients. I cooked them in a pan with coconut oil. They came out amazing!! |
 |
| Another dinner we had one night was a Buddha Bowl: raw kale topped with broccoli sprouts, raw olives, avocado, cooked quinoa and black beans. |
 |
| After making almond milk this week, I made Gena's Almond Cookies (I made them raw in the dehydrator). They came out a lot better then the last batch I made! Yummy! |
 |
| This was lunch one day: a kale salad topped with avocado, live relish and broccoli sprouts. |
 |
| Some green juice power: Romaine, Lemon and Honeybell Orange. |
 |
| Finally, I leave you with a picture of Baby A and Ginger. Ginger looks a little scared, but it's all love around here! :) |
 |
| Have a spectacular weekend!!! |

Funny, I just saw another blogger post about this randomly vegan meal at Cheesecake Factory! Sounds great. Love the look of those sweet potato burgers.
Hi Lauren! I was wondering, how do you put chlorella in your smoothies? Do you use chlorella powder? The tabs seem too tiny to put in my blender? Thanks girl!
Hey Mary, I use the tablets because my baby likes to chew on them. They work fine in the vitamix for me! :)
Hmm when I went to cheescake factor several years back I found NOTHING. maybe they have changed, good to know. i was less likely yo eat salad back then maybe i overlooked that.
i love the sweet potato burger idea, i might have to try that with several tweaks. thanks for sharing.
glad this batch of cookies came out better. happy weekend!
lol! Love the pic of Ginger and Baby A. Ginger does have the look of, "help...me."
Don't you just love Kathy's blog? Those burgers look so yum! Gotta try those.
And you remind me how I'm missing out on some terrific smoothies...I'm out of SW and maca...ack!
I am addicted to your site! You are lovely and very real. I spent more then and hour one your blog the other night. I have learned a lot. I have been Vegan for three years and every time I get sick I hear "How can you be sick, your Vegan" or "See you are getting sick because you don't eat meat" I hope you can full recover. I don't know anything about what you have but I do wish there was a instant cure for you.
