Favorite Raw Salad

Lately I've been making this salad at least once a day. It's just so so so yummy! Here's the lovely ingredients:

1 avocado
1 medium tomato
3 leaves of Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 large spoonful of homemade basil pesto

So simple and so good!

Hooray For Beets!

I have been enjoying beets all summer long. I love how sweet they are. Yesterday for lunch I made a green bean and beet salad...just added a little olive oil and salt. So yummy. I like the Italian's motto in cooking: keep it simple.

White Figs

Yesterday at the farmer's market I bought an over-flowing pint of white figs. They are oh so yummy and sweet. I will be buying more next week for sure!

Ceej In the Kitchen!

Last night Ceej wanted to put to use the leftover almond meal that I have after I make almond milk. So he combined the almond meal with oats, honey, dried cranberries, and orange zest. He baked it at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes. It turned out quite yummy, and I had some for breakfast this morning with some strawberries!! I think we will be perfecting this little recipe for sure.
