Indiana Jones Marathon

My Trophy Hubs got the Indian Jones box set as an early Christmas present this weekend so it's been on all afternoon. We've had to do repeated eye covers on somebody...

Nightmares...probably...

More importantly, here's a photo of the date paste I made today!

Sunday Funday

Ironically we didn't do anything that we wouldn't normally do. Tristan found some stickers this morning and we've spent the whole day pulling them off our feet and clothes. That's a 3 year old for you. Here are some photos of him enjoying PB & J.

The pups got a bath today too.  Here's Lucy before and after. This girl is all eyes and hair!

And finally, dinner is ready...Homemade pizza. Probably not as green as we would like but still yummy.

Raw Food Adventures

I have to throw this in because I mentioned in my first posting how we are interested in the organics. We've started to make changes in our diets and the below photo is a pretty big example of this. For dinner this evening we had a Dinosaur Salad, homemade vegan sour cream, homemade hummus, and store bought chips and hot sauce (our ultimate downfall...Texans and their chips/hot sauce). I don't know what was going on with the Peperoncini...just hanging out I guess. My hubby and I dug right in. The boy was a little more timid but bribing him with chips had his plate empty in no time!

Dinosaur Salad (Hubby made it. His comments- "only took 15 minutes")
Lacinato Kale (it's very tough looking stuff), lemon juice, bean sprouts, and baby spinach. Avocado on top and onions if you want them. No salad dressing or any oils. It was very good.

Recipe for the Vegan Sour Cream came from http://www.addictedtoveggies.com/
I really like her sight and this was the first thing I made with my new toy, the food processor!

Recipe for the homemade hummus came from the Engine 2 Diet. We watch lots of documentaries, one being Forks over Knives.

Well, until next time...:-)

Visit to Swan Lake

In an attempt to get this blog going and while I have an evening break from things, here are a few picks from our recent trip up the road to Swan Lake. It's a beautiful place and we can't wait to visit it again in the spring!
