blurrrrrrrrrrrr of a weekend recap...good eats...and great fashion...

this weekend is a bit of a blur...it went by way too quickly and as per usual i was left feeling exhausted and in need of one more day...but of course, i didn't get the one more day...

so let's talk about food...what did i eat? well...saturday i munched on some of the rawnola i made...for linner (i didn't have time for lunch, so i decided to eat lunch and dinner together)...i made myself a cooked meal...vegan, gluten free eggplant parm...and it was AMAZING...i also made myself a massaged kale salad with hemp seeds...this salad is definitely going to become a staple for me...it is THAT good.

the eggplant parm was pretty easy to put together...i used a 28 ounce jar of my mama's homemade tomato sauce (which she makes every september, it's an italian thing, i think)...and i added 2 handfuls of basil to it...and left it simmer on low for an hour...i soaked the eggplant in salt water for a while...once i was ready to put my dinner together, i breaded the eggplant in gluten free brown rice breadcrumbs...and placed the first layer in a baking dish, i coated the bottom of the dish with a little of the tomato sauce...i then added a layer of tomato sauce, i sprinkled some hempesan on top of that...and sprinkled a tiny bit of daiya cheese on top of the hempesan...and then i continued with one more layer of the eggplant, tomato sauce, hempesan and a bigger sprinkle of daiya cheese...and i cooked it in the oven a 350 degrees for an hour...









yesterday, i was pooped...i was so tired, i didn't feel like doing anything...so i placed a takeout order, and john and i took a drive to a raw vegan restaurant, rawlicious and picked up some raw vegan yumminess...i ordered a lot of food...nori rolls...caesar salad, pizza (i ate a slice of the pizza for breakfast this morning) and a rawich (which i am eating for lunch today)...the nori rolls were fantastic, i forgot to take a pic of them...the pizza was phenomenal...a little on the salty side, but when i'm pmsing salt is one of my fave things...it tasted like real pizza...the pizza was topped with a pizza sauce, tomatoes, onion, and green amazing olives...and i believe that the pizza hangs out in the dehydrator for a while so that the veggies can "cook" for a while...the caesar salad was good, but heavy on the garlic...which didn't sit very well with me yesterday night and this morning...so i don't think i will be ordering it again...and the rawich, well...i'll let ya know later what i thought of it...it looks amazing...and anything with sprouts and guac has got to be amazing beyond words right?







taessa's fashion show was spectacular...it was fantastical...i am so happy for her...she was on fire saturday night...and i could see the buzz of interest and awe when the models walked down the runway in her clothing...























here's the special gal with two of the models...she's a shy one...



i gave jackson some kale stalks this weekend and he LOVED them...he's been getting really healthy treats lately, kale, rawnola, salad...mary's crack and hummus...and i think he's actually lost a few pounds...here are a few pics of my fur baby eating kale and playing around with john...









have a beautiful day...
