Hello everyone,
How is everyone’s day going so far?
We got something exciting to share, the people at CSN stores contact us about doing a giveaway and product review on their site Kids Furniture. We looked over their site and looks like the got a great green line with great baby products which we are happy to review since our sister is pregnant. Always happy to find great baby things! Stay tuned for more details!
Lori and I have been quite productive today! We got up early this morning and got our workout done first thing. Today our workout was yoga. Glorious way to start the day in my opinion! Get the legs moving and blood pumping 
Before we did our yoga workout we made a quick pre-workout sludge. A mixture of coconut oil, lemon, date paste, cacao powder! Simple and delicious. *sorry forgot to take a picture!
After our workout we enjoyed our green smoothie! (sorry no picture) but it was a collard green, granny smith apple, stevia, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, sunflower lecithin, dulse flakes and lemon. Perfect way to start our morning after a great 45 minute yoga session!
We did enjoy some delicious eats from yesterday starting with a simple snack of our coconut kefir – made more into a shake mixed with some chorella, stevia and maca!
And dinner was something different for us. It was an experiment. We soaked and fermented amaranth for 24 hours and than cooked it on the stove top with the same fermented water we soaked it in. We cooked the amaranth for about 20-30 minutes.
We knew that soaking grains make it easier for digestion so we thought about putting a probiotic in there to see if adding some healthy bacteria would help too! The finally result? Yes we felt it did help with our digestion. Not sure if it really fermented but the idea was nice
We ended up adding some of our cheez sauce over it with some fresh cilantro! So our amaranth dish turned out to be more like amaranth soup It was delicious!
Amaranth soup served along side some green kraut (that we made a few days ago in the bowl)
I ended up drizzling the amaranth soup over the kraut… OMG …. HEAVENLY! Beyond words, seriously amazing
The cheez sauce really made this dish. Loved it on top of my sauerkraut. Who knew? I guess I really do love just about anything with sauerkraut. 
And as we were watching our favorite show LOST! We decided to have more carrot cake I told you I could have this every night!!!!
A little piece of heaven in a bowl! Love how we finally found a great way to use up our carrot pulp from our juices! We will share this carrot cake recipe tomorrow
Also today Lori and I were busy in the kitchen un-baking some treats for our farmers markets this weekend (testing more things for our cookbook, so happy to hear that everyone is excited for it), we are trying to create some new things. We will show you all pictures of everything later this week!
Also Lori is planning on heading over seas to visit her boyfriend in Paris in a few weeks. So if you have any good tips or advice for traveling in Paris, southern France and Spain (that is where she is traveling around) please let us know. She would love any suggestions
Till next time,

Lori you’re just the world traveler…wow, so happy for you!
The soup looks great and i dont normally use amaranth so that’s nice to use in this way!
And the cheeze sauce..I am publishing a nooch post in about an hour
I made amaranth the other night but I had no idea how to cook it. It turned into a kind of porridge. Is it supposed to separate into neat little grains like quinoa…or is that just the way it is.
So excited for the carrot cake recipe tomorrow.
Hey Audrey, amaranth can be cooked in so many different ways. If you just pop it like popcorn than it is light and separated, though if you cook like rice or something on stovetop (2 cups water to 1 cup amaranth) it is more porridge, soupy like. Well as least that is how we have made it
We just love the flavor and texture of amaranth and how easy it is on our tummies!
i cannot WAIT for the carrot cake recipe! that is my fav cake flavor ever!
thank you SO much for the encouraging comment. it is so great to hear from people who can enjoy exercise and enjoy life at the same time! that is DEF my goal! thanks for being inspiring!
Thanks katie, it is funny we used to not be such big fans of carrot cake, now we are obsessed with it
funny how the taste buds change like that!
I used to spend summers in France as a kid, so I’m pretty familiar with Paris and the Langueduc region of southern France. Let me know if you need any pointers!
Thanks Gabriela, I will be in touch.
I’ve tried one raw carrot cake recipe and loved it, yours looks amazing!
Oh my gosh, that amaranth soup looks awesome! I’m going to bookmark this one. Thanks for replying to my email; was really helpful and very kind of you. xxx
Wow the carrot cake looks so good!!!! As always your yummy food does!!!!!
I love the gingerade kombucha so much too!!! I never had the lemon kind!! Will have to try!!!
I LOVE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did you think of this past weeks episode? I was happy to see Jack have faith for once!!!!
I went to Paris for my honeymoon in October, so my memory is still pretty fresh!
Definitely go to the Musée d’Orsay (supposed to be the best museum in Paris) and our favorite “walking around” districts were St. Germain and Marais! We could have spent days walking around them! And if you really want to splurge, there is a chocolate shop there (one in actually both of those districts) called Cacao et Chocolat. Best chocolates I’ve ever had!! Feel free to email me if you have any more questions.
Can’t wait for the carrot cake recipe!
