The Baby Chicks have arrived!

I know it's sad that these chickens are making their way towards being eaten.. but I love them, and I feel like they help me to have more of a connection to the earth. My dad and I take good care of them, and they live a good and free life. Five are "laying" hens, 10+ are for "meat". I hate defining them this way, but this is the fact of the matter.
Anyway here the cuties are..

Catching Up.

Tomato Avocado and Walnut salad with pomegranate juice!









Tofu cutlets served with plum sauce, broccoli, and rice with chives.

Tzatziki (Cucumber, Garlic, and Yogurt Dip) ((YUM!!))

I like to serve this with pita.

I've also gone a bit smoothie crazy since the nice weather has started. There are so many recipes and variations and they're all just so darn tast-y ! Not to mention good for you! Drinking a smoothie is an easy and fun way to get fruit servings in, and to avoid refined sugar cravings.


This one is raspberry,
plain yogurt,
soy milk,
frozen banana and
2 table spoons honey to even out that yogurt flavor and the acidity of the raspberries.

I'll be posting more smoothies as the summer goes on. :)

Ugh. How terrible is this? Chopping up animals and eating them. Yuckers.. :(
