pickles and hemp

here's the pickles from Monday's post that are just a wee bit delicious!



and a couple of snacks from yesterday, a tasty live pumpkin seed bar from Go Raw



my go to fav...apples and homemade almond butter, just like a lil kid ;)  yes, that was too much AB



Monday's dinner- Rustic Pasta and Sicilian Collards from The Kind Diet.  We ended up adjusting the pasta recipe quite a bit, maybe I was distracted by a show on tattoos on the History Channel while I was making dinner, who knows? ;)  Now I have my next tattoo back on the brain...brown rice pasta, olives with lots of celery and purple cabbage goodness.



have a mentioned before how much I love collards? 



we did do the 'superhero' swap of pumpkin seeds for the pine nuts



green smoothie:
some of that homemade almond mylk, a banana, 3 Tbsp of hemp seeds, 2 dates, lots of spinach and a generous amount of cinnamon.  I really enjoy cinnamon in smoothies! 



a protein boost and good oils from whole food hemp





last night's big salad of romaine, dandelion greens, broccoli, red pepper, carrot, red onion, celery, sunflower and hempseeds.



dressed with Averie's tahini slaw dressing, get the recipe here.  You won't be disappointed!



topped mine with tomato and half an avocado, hubby will not eat these fruits :(



We were recently talking about rice n beans and decided that I don't ever make them, so I found this recipe for dirty rice and that was the rest of my dinner.



Dave dressed his up pretty, corn chips, dirty rice, cheese, kidneys, and lots of chipotle hot sauce.



Anybody else buy that ginormous bag of organic tortillas at Costco?? 

From what I hear Oprah is going to have a good episode today with Michael Pollan,  Alicia Silverstone, and Chipotle (our kitchen away from home ;) !

Alicia talks about the taping here!  Now to remember to turn the tv on at 4....
