my garden is thriving...i am so very proud of my little plant babies...here's a little peek...(as an aside, i had planted watermelon, but all of my plants have died, so sad...)
it's just such a wonderous feeling to be able to grow a garden and watch and experience the beauty and power of nature...i am amazed...
last night i made such an amazing raw vegan taco salad...so tasty...and so easy to throw together...and oh. my. goodness...sooooooooo yum!
taco salad
2 cups of romaine lettuce (organic)
2 ears of corn niblets (organic)
7 green olives, pitted and chopped (organic)
1 green onion chopped finely (organic)
1/2 an avocado chopped
sour cream dressing (1/2 cup raw cashews soaked, 1 lemon juiced, 1 glove garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth)
3 tbsp of raw vegan taco meat (ani phyo's recipe)
1 tbsp chipotle cheeze (ani phyo's recipe)
place first four ingredients in a bowl...sprinkle with taco meat, drizzle with sour cream dressing, add the cheeze on top...and DEVOUR!!!
leaving you with a sweet photo i took of a sleeping jackson yesterday...i love him so much...
i'm wishing you all a very beautiful day...
Love the garden pics, sorry to hear about the watermelon.
ReplyDeleteYour taco salad looks so yummy, I just might have to make it!
Awww...Jackson looks so cozy:)
WOW..look at that amazing garden:) Watermelon is tricky! My mom always has a casualty every year and she has a huge green thumb. Don't know what their deal is really!
ReplyDeleteThat taco salad looks a million plus times better than the ones people order at restaurants...yumm! I have to try that sour cream dressing:)
AWEEEE..Jackson!! So sweet:)
Have a wonderful day lovely!! Enjoy your amazing weekend with the ladies!!!
Great Garden!! Sorry for the Watermelon, I am having troubles keeping the okra alive ;-(

Mmmm, your taco salad looks tasty. Anything with avocado I love. Keep up the good work with your little garden! Mine is even smaller than yours:)
ReplyDeleteRaw taco salads are my favorite! YUM!!!! I think my watermelon isn't doing well either!!! Sweet little Jackson! MWAH!
ReplyDeleteGreat garden pics, I love being able snip fresh veggies from a garden. I haven't had much luck with watermelon either - last year it got so hot that the ones I had growing burst and this year I can't seem to get them going.
ReplyDeleteLove your garden pics! I am so excited to try gardening again one day...I didn't fare so well with it last time but I think I could do well with more practice..I just need to wait until I actually have a backyard again.
ReplyDeleteThe taco salad looks beautiful and delicious. I want to try to make a version of it...making up my own version of the taco meat (because I haven't gotten around to picking up any Ani books yet like I've been wanting to since forever..)
I'm so happy that you are having a meetup with some lovely ladies...it sounds like it will be a wonderful weekend. Maybe I could meet up with your beautiful selves at some point? Would love to, if I can.
I hope you have a wonderful Canada day, love
<3
