veggie fest discovery

There have been many times in my life where I have been upset about the location in which I live. Don't get me wrong, I love the Chi - but its suburbs are not very veggie or allergy friendly. I can imagine my life on the beaches of California, eating at a vegan cafe and soaking up the sun. That's just my dream - unfortunately FH will not go for it.

You can imagine my excitement when I found a veggie friendly food festival today which is located in Naperville, only a 30 minute drive from me. Veggie Fest will be here August 7-8, and I am pumped! I will have just gotten back from my honeymoon - so we are making it back just in the nick of time. Veggie Fest is described as, "the largest free vegetarian food festival in the USA!" SCORE!!!

Anyone want to come?

I was boiling this morning when I woke up... on the couch.... my room was far too warm last night. Thankfully, I had something cold and refreshing waiting for me in the fridge.

i'm trying to get more creative with the breakfast photos since they are repeats most of the time...

This morning was spent running around while the kiddos were in VBS - FH and I had to go get our marraige liscence! I was feeling totally stressed out earlier today. I'm not sure why - I just had this overwhelming feeling that I wasn't going to finish everything I need to. I let myself freak out for about 10 minutes, and then I tell myself to get over it. It works like a charm every time.

Snacks this morning included some almonds and a piece of zucchini bread (which I am NOT posting the recipe for. It's just "meh" - it's really dense. Any suggestions on how to make it better?)

Lunch was spent pool side at my aunt's - I packed pb&j's for the kids, and a salad for me.



this was taken about 1/2 way through.. I got too excited.


getting in touch with my inner child
We were on our way home when we saw this....


When we got home at 3, I was ravenous! I was in major need of a snack... STAT!


chips and hummus

really delicious pink lady apple
Dinner was okay, one of my staple meals - stir fry veggies and brown rice. I love adding stewed tomatoes to my veggies - it adds a lot of flavor.




Currently I am still feeling a little snacky - I am feeling a large dessert coming on tonight. But for now, I have to go shopping with FH for ceiling fans. Yahoo!!!
Question: What is one of your favorite go to dinners?
