this weekend i was so fortunate to spend time with some very incredible ladies...camille hosted our mostly raw vegan patio party...i finally got to meet lisa, and jenny...i was also very fortunate to meet a very lovely lady, patrizia...
the spread was pretty fantastic...most items on the menu were made using recipes from ani phyo's raw food essentials...onion rings, cheddar kale chips, mango salad, tostadas...to drink there was an organic white wine strawberry mango sangria and water with cucumber and lemon...and for dessert, wow, amaretti cookies, blueberry lavender ice cream, chocolate fudge cake, nutella, lemon cashew cream and moon pies...
has anyone ever had the chance to visit heaven? corny? yes! well i did yesterday afternoon...there is nothing like the beautiful company of such spectacular women, wonderful food and lots of laughter...there were so many genuine kind hearts in one room, i felt happier than i have in a while...it's a such a fantastic feeling to be among very good people...people that i feel i have known a lifetime, and that is because we all share the same views about certain things and it's very hard to find people that feel the way that i do about food...food really does bring people together...
today i am sharing this very beautiful day with my family and the love of my life...and it's all about love and laughter, and those are the ingredients to a very beautiful life...and lasting memories, at least for me...
hope you are all enjoying your weekend, and i wish you all love and laughter today, and everyday...

ReplyDeleteAw Nelly, I have been dying to see this post, as I would have loved to have joined you ladies. The food you had looked delish. And yes isn't it inspiring to enjoy guilt free and nutritionous laden food with likeminded and fun girls? Oh what fun!
ReplyDeleteHey I saw you wrote on Sarah's post about trying to find gluten free oats? Apparently all oats are gluten free, it is just the equipment on which they have been milled that usually has been used with wheat. I know Bobs Red Mill is a brand that claim they do not use the same equipment and the other day I bought oat groats to make into a flour to make raw vegan cookies like ones I made in Raw Chef school. Hope this is what you were looking for?
thanks robyn!!! i also wish you had been able to join us!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for the oats tip!!!
=)
Looks so fun! Wish I was there. I'd be the one in the corner piggin out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hanging in heaven with me. What a wonderful day it was.
