Sunday | Labor Day BBQ | Kid Cooking Vegan | 9-3-17

We went to an all-vegan, potluck BBQ this past Sunday. It was so fun! My daughter decided to make a Peanut Butter & Chocolate pinwheel/roll-up.

Tortilla, peanut butter, melted chocolate, cacao powder…that’s it! She loved making her own dish to bring. (I made a cauliflower ‘potato salad’ using this recipe subbing vegan mayo – shoutout to Aldi for having an egg-less mayo for cheap, bacon bits instead of bacon & omitting the eggs.)

(excuse the messy kitchen – I gave myself a cleaning break this weekend)

We had a blast at the BBQ, saw lots of amazing vegans, animal rights activists and, most importantly, animals! There were a ton of dogs, a rooster, hen, guinea pig & a cat that I saw.

Saturday | Parking Lot Fashion Show | 9-2-17

This weekend we had a playdate with a bunch of my daughter’s friends & after she said “mommy, take some pictures of me for your lunch blog.” (I admit I posted them on instagram too because they were too cute! )

She loves this new shirt we got at H&M the other day. And she was digging the fishtail pigtails I put in her hair in the morning.

You ever have one of those days where you are so busy you can’t seem to even stop & breathe?
That was our day yesterday.
-Work to school.
-School to a local place for a school “dine-out” fundraiser.
[they had a veggie burger that was vegan & sweet potato fries!]
-The restaurant to cheer.
[at cheer she picked out this new
    hoodie that she’s obsessed with!
    fall is coming too quickly]
-Cheer to the grocery store.
-Then finally home!

So needless to say I did no meal prep or lunch packing last night
