One year anniversary Giveaway

by Lori and Michelle on June 25, 2010

Since today is our blog’s – One Year Anniversary – we wanted to re-do our blog design but due to some business changes we had to re-think everything (so our re-design is put on hold). But we did finally made a facebook page for Pure2Raw (so please become a friend and keep up-to-date with what is happening with us)!

It is fun for us to look back at some of our first posts…to see our blog’s journey (and our personal life’s journey) from one year ago. For some great laughs check out our first two post :)   Michelle and I have learned so much from blogging! We are so grateful to have so many great blogging friends and readers! And we are deeply honored for your support and we hope to continue our friendship for many years to come :)

Moving on to some of our eats.

Yesterday’s dinner was a version of our avocado pudding though this time we added in some irish moss :)

june 2010 p2r blog 815 My version with some yacon syrup on top :)

I wanted it simple since my tummy still was not feeling the best.

june 2010 p2r blog 824 Love the texture irish moss provides puddings!

june 2010 p2r blog 827Michelle’s version – she added some vega protein powder (something Heather would approve)!

A little bit later, once my tummy started to feel better, I enjoyed a new raw cookie we created.

june 2010 p2r blog 812Delicious and the cookie is based out of stevia :)

As Michelle mentioned we did not workout this morning in order to give my body some rest. I have been feeling better today :)

I ended up eating simple smoothie for breakfast. A good friend and client of ours dropped off some fresh figs! So that is what we made our smoothie out of!

june 2010 p2r blog 845Love fresh figs. Gary has never had a fresh fig before (I know crazy) and he tried one and loved them :)

june 2010 p2r blog 853Nothing beats fresh figs!!!! What is there not to love?!?!

june 2010 p2r blog 855 Just want the doctor ordered ;) Michelle and I both sat outside to enjoy this refreshing smoothie!

Did you sit outside today?

What a great giveaway!! I’m dying to try some of your AWESOME looking raw goodies! :D

I love the sun for lighting my apartment (so I don’t waste electricity during the day) and for getting a hefty dose of Vitamin D! You just reminded me that I need to take my dog for an afternoon walk to get my daily dose!

it’s interesting how sometimes, when i am feeling pretty warm even, my body feels like it is craving the sun. Probably needs the vitamin d! thank you sun.

Happy bloggie anniversary! I’ve never had a fresh fig either but they look gorgeous. :)
Let’s see, I love the sun for so many reasons! Right now, I love it because it makes my basil grow.

Reply

Kelly Michelle June 25, 2010 at 8:15 pm

yummy, I love the sun way too much! I have cut way back on my sun bathing in recent years to avoid wrinkles and cancer but I can’t resist getting in a good hour or two at least once a week, it makes me happy!

Reply

Miho June 25, 2010 at 8:16 pm

I always thought figs looked gross when I was a kid…I should go try it some day :)

I love the sun so much because it energizes me when I’m feeling really down, and I love getting my vitamin D from it!!

Reply

Katie June 25, 2010 at 8:21 pm

I love the sun and everything else about summertime! I didn’t sit in the sun today, but I did ride my bike a lot.

And yeah, fresh figs are a treat. So good.

I grew up in the Pacific NW and now live in Arizona. I never thought the AZ heat would be something I like.. but I’ll take perfect, dry, sunny weather 8 months of the year for those 4 months when it doesn’t get bellow 100 :)

hihorosie June 25, 2010 at 9:58 pm

Okay, I have to admit that I’ve never tried a fresh fig either! Sad I know. When I come across them I will try them for sure! Not doubt I’d love it/them. Mmm, the quinoa mac looks yummy! And nice haircut Michelle. :)

And ooh! I want to enter your giveaway – happy anniversary!

I love the sooooo much that it seems to be hiding from me. I won’t bite, promise. :) Love hot dry weather – lazy days in the sun, watching the boats on the water, seeing people be happy.

And of course I’m a fan of you on facebook! Glad you created the new page. “Liked” it!
