Wedding Eats

Hey Loves! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine started out with some time at the pool with Little A. They have a park, tennis courts and baseball fields at the pool. Little A likes to play at the park after and then explores the area. We found this beautiful flower growing near the baseball field. 
After that I made myself a nice salad filled with fermented veggies! YUMMY!
T brought me home 2 bars that I have never tried. One is 100% raw, the other 70%. They were pretty good. They remind me of another bar that I can't think of the name of.
I got a new candle that smells amazing!!! It is made from beewax and soy and  has only natural essential oils for scent. 
I charged all my crystals and mala beads until the full moon. Mmm, good energy!!
For dinner one night, I made a Red Lentil and Cauliflower Curry recipe from Pinterest and added quinoa to it (sorry, Pinterest is down right now so I can't link). Little A really enjoyed it and T and I both had 2 bowls!
This is a snack that Little A and I shared: a banana with Jem Red Maca Cinnamon Almond Butter (LOVE THIS STUFF!). 
This was another monster fig from our tree, you can see the comparison to a peach!
T, Little A and I enjoyed it right off the tree!
On Friday night, we went to a wedding for friends of ours.
It was nice to get out and have a good time with other adults. Although, I did miss Little A terribly, and called and texted my parents 100x! ;)
This was my plate during cocktail hour: pineapple, cantaloupe, olives and artichoke antipasti.
Sorry for the blurry pic, this was my first course which was a salad that I had without cheese.
That was followed by a fruit plate (instead of a mozzarella salad) and then my entree was a vegan vegetable stack that was topped with sprouts! YUM! They were aware that there were vegans there so they had a vegan and vegetarian option, I asked beforehand, just in case I needed to bring a bar in my purse.
This was the view outside where we had cocktail hour. The place was on the river near a marina. So lovely.
I took this picture when the sun went down. Spooky sky! ;)
I'll be back with more from the weekend soon!!! XO

Moon energy and bringing it into our homes! I like to let my rocks soak up the sun and then bring them in but I always forget about the moon.
That Lentil and Cauliflower Curry you made looks amazing!
You two look great, I love your dress and it sounds like you had a really nice evening.
