Did someone say pizza?

by Lori and Michelle on February 15, 2010

Hey luvs

Hope your Monday is going well. We have had a not so typical Monday morning here. Had to run some errands, deliver an order, and then received an unexpected order. We have been out of the house all morning, but did manage to make a small juice before heading out the door.

This juice was some beet tops, carrots, fennel, and ginger. We are giving juicing a try again. We are seeing how our bodies like juicing time around now that we are feeling stronger. Hopefully we will not get too many detox symptoms.

So glad to see everyone enjoyed our overnight buckwheat groats!! Simple, yummy gluten free breakfast!

How was everyone’s Valentines? We had a nice surprise yesterday.

IMG_4158Red Roses?? But from whom? And for who?

IMG_4161Not for me ; ( But Lori. Her wonderful boyfriend surprised her with roses. She had no idea, I had no idea. We actually first thought is was from our parents, but then as we opened the box, we both saw Love Gary. Her boyfriend is currently studying abroad in Paris, so this was a very nice surprise for Lori.

We enjoyed some good eats yesterday as well. Began our Sunday morning with a perfect cup of hot cocoa, then followed by a green smoothie.

Had a great workout. We have been doing Tracy Anderson’s Mat workout and love it!! We love her (more on that later). And we treated ourselves to Vega shake afterwards. It was perfect!! We have not had Vega in so long. I know there are some that do not like the taste of Vega, but I love it. I made it thick like pudding, yummy…

Vega Health Optimzer with a little bit of water...makes perfect pudding in my opinion.

And then dinner was inspired from Everyday Raw. One of Matthew Kenney’s cookbooks that we just love.  Also I learned to make this while at 105 Degrees

Not only is the pizza raw and gluten-free, but also we made it nut-free!!! So it was very light. We made a few changes to his recipe, and it came out great.

The Cheese that we made for Superbowl party.

And we had left over cheese sauce and arugula so made a warm wilted salad

Coat arugula with sauce and then we placed it the dehydrate to “warm” up. YUM!

Now for dessert

We did not have anything chocolate, GASP, I know I know it was Valentines Day, but actually for me it was just another day.

We decided to take a spin on one of our old classic recipes, Key Lime Tart.

I love drinking juice first thing in the morning! (esp. with beets!) The only thing I don’t like is the clean-up… but I just have to remember it’s worth it.

The pizza and your key lime tarts look fantastic! Sounds like you ladies had a fun Valentine’s Day! :)

Raw pizza is usually hard for me to eat, since the people I know who have a dehydrator at college mix buckwheat & nuts in like a 1:1 ratio. I can’t handle nuts as well, since I just don’t like heavy foods. It’s nice to know you guys feel the same way and are able to make these awesome recipes nut-free!

Ian, yes we can not handle large amount of nuts either. We have been working hard to create delicious recipes with out always using nuts, sometimes it can be a challenge and sometimes you just have to use nuts for certain things, but not everything ;) The pizza was actually really easy on our tummies and digestion :) YAY

Those roses are gorgeous. :)
All your eats look heavenly…but I’m curious. You guys aren’t a tomato fan? (the pizza has no tomato sauce, teehee, my fave part usually)
Also – I love key lime pie/ tart! :) I will definitely be making this asap. Maybe it can be made into a pudding. :o

Pure2 February 16, 2010 at 5:33 am

Thanks Serena, no we are not tomato fans. I know weird, yes we love key lime pudding, have a recipe up on our blog.

Lori February 16, 2010 at 5:40 pm
