On the road again
Hey luvs
How was your Thursday? We had a pretty good day here full of good eats and shopping!!! I must admit Orlando has some of the best outlet malls ; )
Lori and I are up here in Orlando again staying at the older sis’s place as part one of our road trip back to NC.
Breakfast was a lovely simply spirulina maca smoothie. We were not too hungry because we had a late dinner.
During the journey up here we enjoyed our favorite cocktail Kombucha tea. We got this from the local health food store the day before, and stocked up mom with some, she likes them!!
When enjoyed lunch at a restaurant we have been wanting to try every time we come to Orlando, but somehow never manage. So this time we made it a priority.
Can guess where?
This lovely lady has been here a few times.
Got an idea yet? Maybe this will help…
Cafe 118, yep a raw restaurant in Winter Park, FL. It is a cute little part of town.
The restaurant was a little smaller than I imagined, yet very simple and beautiful! Coming from 105 degrees I had different expectations. The menu was a little limited but still seemed hard to decide what to eat.
I ordered the Arugula salad
Lori ordered the Mixed Green Salad
Both salads were delicious…simple and light…perfect for what we wanted!
You may be wondering why two raw girls would both order salads to eat at a well known Raw Restaurant when there were yummy things like Raw Lasagna or Spinach Wrappers? Good question, we both did not want something nut based because it tends to be too heavy for our stomachs plus we were traveling and have been sitting in a car for a few hours. Plus, we are watching are nut intake, again too hard for us to digest.
But the real reason was because we wanted this
And this
We are huge dessert girls, especially raw desserts, so we looked at those first ; ) then decided salad sounded perfect.
Who wanted want a Raw Key Lime Tart in a Macadamia Nut Crust
And Raw Chocolate Pudding
We shared each one equally : )
Guess we did not like them…
I could not believe how “real” the mousse tasted, it almost made Lori and I question if it had dairy?? It was so light and airy. Tasted like the chocolate mousse our grandmother used to make for us as kids.
I was in chocolate heaven : )
Overall experience with our first time to Cafe 118 was hit. We both felt great after the meal and it is not too often that we get to go out to eat and order whatever we want on the menu! I sure miss that from being at 105 degrees.
We spent the rest of the day shopping buying some near workout attire for training in the colder weather for our marathon. Yes we have not forgotten we have a race soon. Our training has been going okay, not great, we did manage to get a quick 3 mile run in tonight. Plan to get back into the groove of things this weekend.
Our plans for the rest of the evening is cleaning the sis’s is place for when she gets back…there are a few surprises!
We will try to check back in tomorrow evening once we get back home. Hope everyone has a great night.
Till next time,
The Twins
