-with the season to come! Pumpkin spice lattes are back!
Soon all the pumpkins and squash will be available. and I will make raw pumpkin pie. Oh man, I'm excited. Mostly for the weather- i must say. On another note. My mind has been non stop after enjoying an amazing dinner at Cafe Gratitude on Monday night, with live music, might I add ;)
The food and atmosphere was amazing. I seriously- loved it. It was so nice. I had this raw pizza, with cashew ricotta 'cheese'. My boyfriend has a Blt wrap, in this raw live apple curry wrap. and toasted maple coconut for the bacon? This place is beyond creative. Their unreal! -So of course it sparked something up in my mind. I've since made- raw key lime pie, vegan cauliflower mac n cheese, raw raspberry cheesecake, Chia Pudding, avocado and kale pesto, and Cilantro Jalapeno humus, garlic tahini, and mint tzatziki sauce. Yes it is only Thursday folks- and I did say I went Monday. So what if I'm food crazy?! :P
Well I'll have you know my tahini and hummus aren't completed, nor is the mint sauce- due to no cucumbers and waiting for my sesame seeds to finish soaking!
But for now - here is a medley of pictures of my week in recipes. Enjoy loves. [recipes soon to be added]
