Day 16

Breakfast:
ummm, I'm sure our kids ate cereal but we have not had a Saturday free for months so we slept in till', well let's just say 9...sure.

Lunch:
mom had a huge smoothie with berries, banana, kale and dates
dad and kids had peanut butter on toast (so, clearly, it does not get old if we are eating it on the weekend)

Dinner:
mom and dad went out
kids had vegan mac and cheese and also peanut rice noodles

Went to Whole Foods today with E.  I don't usually shop there since it tends to be much pricier than I like but I was supposed to have a "meet up" group (that I never found, bummer).  We overspent, but not as bad as it could have been.  Bill was $172 but $32 of that was some locally-made, raw protein powder and raw bars that we sampled that we were super stoked on!  Plus, we have an awesome menu planned for this week!  E found some vegan mac and cheese (his favorite!) and we were really nervous about it being gross and him being disappointed but it was super and he loved it!  He has had vegan mac and cheese that I made a long time ago with a cashew-cream sauce and it was too sweet and not cheesy enough, to this one was a hit!

Mom and Dad ate with friends at a mexican place in Denver.  They had a tofu taco with raspberry-chipotle sauce that was delicious and killer guacamole.  They were very accommodating with veggies and offered to sub tofu or veggies on anything.

I didn't get a chance to make the black bean brownies I was so excited for so I made them when we got home at 10:30.  We'll see how those go over with the kids tomorrow!
