Eggplant and Avocado Salad!

This was a fabulous weekend! I'm still struggling with my carbohydrates but am really excited to have completed a successful vegan weekend at home- something that is hard to do, considering the amount of (delicious) non-vegan food my mom keeps in the house. We all managed to stay vegan and ended up making really nice vegan pizzas. We had one with sauce and veggies and one with BBQ sauce, pineapple, and veggies! They were so good. We also made great smoothies with fruit, mostly bananas, strawberries, and kiwi! Shana also ate some delightful plums, and I tried Pom tea for the first time. Interestingly enough, Hillary told me they're cruel to animals I found this article as well as a couple others that topic.

"And now for something completely different!" Here's the link to that delicious recipe-- the raw Eggplant and Avocado Salad!

Living-Foods.com is a wonderful resource. I think white onion is the best choice for this recipe. We used white as opposed to red onion during our vegan dinner and it was a perfect compliment to the sweet honey and the delicate avocado. Hillary and Shana actually tried it with red onion a couple nights ago and found it to be a little less than perfect.

In other news! I'm going to try fasting a couple days this week, probably with juices, since we recently acquired a deluxe "Jack La Lanne" Power Juicer! Once I find some good resources about juicing and gather up a few good recipes I'll post them, for sure.

We're off to watch the L word and have vegan chocolate peanut butter pie! And perhaps to watch Hillary dance around the living room topless. Love and peace, all! -Sam
