TGIF. I am SO ready for the weekend. The weeks of this summer have been too long and too hot. TOO HOT to live. In fact, I am wearing a little sundress today (the skimpiest clothing that I've ever worn to work before) and I am still sweating my cheeks off.
I have had the fortune of great Violet times in this summer heat, so that helps. But really, I will continue to dream of still being home with my little beauty than anywhere else. Yup I'm a dreamer.
I've been buying some great produce lately, mixing stores and farm stands to get the best pickin's. I found some young thai coconuts from one of my local grocers and they've been so fantastic. I have used much of their meat and all of their water for smoothies. Some have been so ample that I've had to freeze coconut meat for later use.
The drink of choice to use my coconut materials, the Pina Colada Smoothie, is the perfect summer breakfast smoothie. Besides the sugar content of course, it might be nearly the best of the best. Again this is a recipe straight out of Raw Food/Real World.
If you want measurements, you'll have to buy her book! But here is the ingredients list:
Thai Coconuts (meat + water)
Lime Juice
Vanilla (she uses extract, I use bean)
Sweetener (I used a tiny bit of agave but it may not need any!)
Pineapple
Coconut Butter

I packed a TON of healthy treats for our camping trip this weekend.
I feel kind of dumb in a way, like everyone else will be eating yummy bbq and other goodies while I dig out my weird food. It won't really be weird but still. They are actually pretty used to my weirdness at this point. And they gotta love me for it.
I will probably eat less than stellar at some point. This has to be okay. I can't expect 100% when everyone else is making memories. I don't want to be left out. SO many social events and happy times are centered around food. It is a huge part of life so I need to make a compromise instead of feeling badly about it.
Yay! Girl's Weekend in just a few short hours.
Here is a super awesome baby bump pic to close my week: (I love it!!)
