Friends, drinks, and great food

Hello friends,

Well I am back in Raleigh with the sis getting ready for our weekend farmers markets plus going over a million business ideas.

Last night I had my first blogger meet-up with the Charlotte group! The group met at Luna’s Living Kitchen which is a great restaurant for some one like me The restaurant menu was based around raw living foods and majority of everything is gluten free!

I was excited to try this place out! And it did not disappoint!

I ordered the zucchini pasta with a mushroom sauce.

One thing that I just love about raw living foods is how colorful and vibrant everything looks. You just know what you are about to eat is going to make you feel alive and glowing! Almost too pretty to eat

Love this meal! It was so light and refreshing and full of flavor! I am usually not a huge fan of mushrooms but this dish really hit the spot for me It is sooooo nice being able to go to a restaurant with friends and not have to worry about anything. Am I going to get sick from this? How am I going to feel? What is in the food?

I didn’t have to worry and I really could just enjoy the food! What an amazing feeling!!

Group was Caitlin, Megan, Lauren, Megan, Emma, Cindi, Jessie (not in picture) and me! Great group of ladies!!

After dinner most of us went to a local pub to get some drinks and chat.

I got a glass of Savignon Blanc, one of my favorite white wines.

Jessie and me.

Caitlin and Megan.

After some drinks we walked over to Yoforia to grab some yogurt. I did not get any since dairy and me do not get along! But everyone else really enjoyed their yogurts. All and all it was a great night I am really looking forward to spending more time with these lovely ladies

Next morning I made Gary a green smoothie (all week long I made him smoothies for breakfast and he loved them all, yay!)

Hemp vanilla milk, hemp protein, spinach, frozen banana, strawberries and mango

After dropping Gary off at work I went back to the place to pack up and make my green smoothie for the road.

Apples, frozen local peaches, collard greens, basil, lemon, ginger, cardamom, chia seeds, coconut oil, sunflower lecithin

Perfect road trip companions in my opinion

Upon arriving the sis sliced up some fresh watermelon from a local farmer and we sat on porch to get our Vitamin D as we devoured the plate

After a quick little snack we ran some errands and came back to workout

Had a local peach before working out

Workout: 25 minutes of high intensity at home workout (again we will share our new workout soon)

Afterwards I was craving Vega and that is what I had

I just scooped some Vega protein powder into a cup and stirred with water (yes there is a junk of powder at end of spoon guess I did not mix that well )

Till next time,
