It was so hard to wake up this morning!! My eyes felt like they were glued shut!
Luckily, I had another juice to enjoy from Organic Avenue.
Veggie Vibe!
The cucumber, lemon and parsley flavors really stood out. It definitely was not my favorite juice, but it was good. And, made me feel energized!
Along with my juice, I snacked on 2 slices of Carrot Raisin Manna Bread.
Look at those raisins!!
With a think spread of peanut butter and Crofter’s cherry jam.
I loved this breakfast!
Lunch was interesting because we were down to minimal fresh food in the fridge! We pick up our CSA tonight, so we were completely out of fruits and vegetables except for 2 small pickling cucumbers.
I sliced them up and ate them with lemon hummus and a mix of raw flax and rice crackers.
I also had a honey greek yogurt with raw granola and freeze dried strawberries and blueberries.
How’s that for getting fruit into my lunch?! 🙂
On the way to pick up our CSA, I found something I had been searching for – the new Larabar flavors!!!
I dug right into the Chocolate Chip Brownie.
YUMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!
It definitely tastes like a brownie and has chunks of chocolate in every bite. It was so good!
Dinner was thrown together pretty quickly, but at least we had fresh veggies!
While Brant was getting my veggie burger and his eggs together, I made up a chopped salad similar to the one we had at Emily’s last night.
Green pepper, cucumber, spring onion, heirloom cherry tomatoes and carrots chopped up and mixed with honey balsamic, olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh thyme. It came out great.
And, a veggie burger on a whole wheat bun with ketchup and a pickle.
I really like making salad’s out of fresh chopped veggies. You don’t need any lettuce because everything is so fresh. This would be great to bring to a BBQ or the beach because you don’t have to worry about lettuce wilting. Make it the night before to let the flavors marinate throughout.

I need to give that larabar a try! It looks really good!
I’ve been following your blog for a few weeks now, and I always love your updates. I appreciate the pics and recipes. I became a vegetarian a year ago, and believe it was the best decision I ever made. I can’t believe what I used to eat, and I just want to tell everyone what I now know.
one question – what is CSA? some type of food co-op?
CSA stands for Customer Supported Agriculture. Basically, you purchase a share of vegetables from a farmer in the winter and they give you fresh produce all summer long!
