 On Sunday we attended our first backyard party of the season! The weather wasn't exactly super warm but it was sunny and as long as you were dressed in layers, you were fine. Since it was a potluck style party, we brought 6 heads of kale {yes, 6!} to be grilled. Sonny "marinated" it with olive oil, and salt before we left, then we sprinkled nutritional yeast on it when it was on the grill. So good!
I made my absolute favorite, Vegan Coconut Bars and even got a request for a potential catering gig! Never thought about doing that sort of thing before but, who knows, maybe we're on to something? With all this food talk, Sonny, and I have just embarked on a Juice fast starting today. This is my first time ever trying to fast and I'm not quite good at it. I've already cheated with a kind bar, and well, tonight I had some more kale. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be easier!

  6. That jean jacket is such a great staple! I wish it was ever cool enough in the spring so I could wear one. Yours looks so cute with your thrifted skirt.
