stepping out to the farm life

Every Wednesday here in town is a Farmstand and Food Truck event that the husband and I always say we want to check out, well last night we finally did!  Not only did we go BUT we rode our bikes there!  Our FAVORITE vegan food truck Uprooted Kitchen was serving the most colorful healthy vegan dishes and we could NOT wait to get our hands on them!  Normally when we go to the Gilbert Farmers Market on Saturday mornings we split a breakfast from Uprooted Kitchen, but last night NO WAY...we were getting two meals!  We picked (after much debate) the Un-Bun Vegan Burger and the Hummus Salad Bowl.  Delish both of them!  They not only tasted great, but the presentation was both colorful and beautiful!  The Wednesday event not only has great food trucks but MUSIC!  It was a great mid-week relaxing evening.

Vegan Love

I am looking forward to a beautiful Valentine's Day weekend.  Nothing special planned except spending it with my wonderful husband!  We learned a long time ago to stay away from restaurants on Valentine's day, so our day will be hanging at home together enjoying lots of amazing vegan eats!  If you're looking for menu options check out Oh She Glows or 5 Tips for a Sexy Vegan Valentine for some yummy ideas.  I have my whole menu planned and can't wait to get cooking!!

Remember to also give yourself a little love this Valentine's weekend!  It's easy to throw a pity party and just give into this crazy world, but pull yourself out and find the love for yourself that you so deserve!  We may not be able to control the world and what happens around us, but we do have control over what we put into our bodies and how we treat them. “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection”  – Buddha

Make Thursday a healthy and happy day!
