this weekend has been filled with lots of kisses from my fur baby and sweetheart, family, friends, unbaking, yummy raw aura eats and fireworks...
here are a few pics of my unbaking adventures:
cuppie cakes
choccie almond butter cups
caramelo moon pie
banana toffee fudge ice cream cake
i had a few get togethers to attend this weekend, so i picked up some yummy eats from raw aura...
casear salad (romaine lettuce tossed in a creamy sunflower seed caesar dressing, eggplant bacon, alomnd butter parmesan and tomatoes)...it was delicious...i had a tofurky beer sausage to accompany it with some horseradish mustard...but the salad was filling...and i wasn't able to finish anything that was on my plate...haha!
i also ordered the big salad (a mix of romaine and kale are tossed with your choice of dressing and topped with tomato, carrot, sprouts, avo, apple, pumpkin seeds, red pepper, red onions, and sprouted chickpea hummus)...it was AMAZING...i love the sprouted chickpea hummus, hands down the best i have ever eaten...i wonder if i can order a tub a week? i'd swim in it, that's how good it is!
i also ordered the pasta bolognese (angel hair zucchini pasta tossed in a roasted red pepper basil tomato sauce, spicy sunflower sausage, sprouted lentils and kale, topped with pine nut parmesan)...ok, this was the first time i have ever tried zucchini with pasta sauce (i'm italian, i don't say marinara)...AND! it was AMAZING...i will definitely be ordering this dish, again and again and again! and i need to get a spiralizer...because i can see this being a staple in my diet...yum!
no long weekend is complete without fireworks...(i took these photos with my iphone, and i have to say they turned out pretty amazing)...
now i am off to spend the rest of my monday with jackson and john...john wants to go fishing...we're off to a park and jackson and i will just walk and meet other dogs while john fishes...totally looking forward to basking in this warm beautiful day...
i have a lot of catching up to do, and i will later this evening...hope you are all having a beautiful monday...and that your weekend was filled with lots of love and awesomeness...

nelly crawker, those sweets look incredible!!! the cupcakes, the almond butter cups, the moonie, the cake... omg, i want some for breakfast!=)
ReplyDeletethanks for filling us in on your fun weekend! nice fireworks pics and your food looks so yummy. i love zucchini pasta and i've been on a salad kick lately. (i had a dream that a raw cafe was opening near me. maybe one will soon!)
enjoy your boys today!=)
I had a busy weekend as well! :) You are so talented with your yummy goodies!
ReplyDeleteI tend to say marinara on my blog, but in real life it's always sauce! :) XO
I think you're pretty awesome. I admire you so much. Your pics are always so mouthwatering!
ReplyDeletepretty fireworks! hope jackson wasn't scared of them. don't let him eat that moonie pie!
ReplyDeleteyou've been busy in the kitchen, huh? everything looks delightful and delicious.
swimming in salad, huh? go for it!
choccie almond butter cups sound SO good right about now. i want to come over to your house to devour it all, haha.
ReplyDeleteWowsers woman, what a great and busy weekend - I want to eat the food pics off the screen! It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteFun that you enjoyed fireworks... sadly, we didn't have any here... and it's storming outside right now (good though, the lake needs to rise).
Moon pie and cake looks to die for :) YUM!!! Fireworks are so pretty. Love watching them.
ReplyDeletethe chocolate in this post should have godiva worried or better yet, uli mana or theo should be worried with all this high raw vegan goodness going on. enjoy your nite hon!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend! I love the picture with Jackson and the moonie pie.
ReplyDeleteI was so disappointed..I didn't get to see fire works this weekend! I had a lot going on. At least I can pretend I'm seeing them by looking at your pics.
Have a lovely Tuesday <3
thanks my friends, you are so amazing...you always make me smile...

kelli - i had a moon pie for breakfast (well half of one)...
bitty boo - jackson is terrified of fireworks...it's so sad to watch how scared and anxious he gets...i wish there was something i could to make him realize the world is not ending...you know?
nutella girl - come on over...there are so many treats, i need help with the devouring!
averie - thank you my beauty!!!
Nelly! Wow what a busy weekend you have had! Your eats were so much better than mine..I'm jealous! I love that picture of Jackson and the moonie pie..gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYay for fireworks! love it!
Hope your short week goes well:)
Yummy cuppies and other tasty treats! Mmmm!
ReplyDeleteLove the fireworks, too. You photographed them much better than I do.
Looks like a lovely weekend! Time in the kitchen, lots of yummy food, and fireworks sound like a great combo. Your sweet treats look especially good.
ReplyDeleteSTOP IT.
ReplyDeleteI think it might be illegal for you to post so many pictures of your amazingly gorgeous over the top delicious desserts and not give me any! They are TOO TOO beautiful!
Chocolate with almond butter is one of my favorite flavor combinations, so I think I would eat about 50 of those beautiful little cakes.
And as hard as it is to tear myself away from your always magnificent desserts, the salad and pasta look scrumptious, too!
Awww I LOVE fireworks! They don't do them here so I haven't seen any in years. Your pictures make me so nostalgic. I love the BIG booms and the stunning sparkly lights, what a great weekend you must have had! Thanks for sharing. :-)
:drool drool drool: well, except that tofurkey sausage thingy looks, um, interesting! lol!
