Starting on Saturday, we went to visit our families..
We had dinner at my Mother-in-law's house. This was my appetizer plate: hummus, olives, broccoli and cauliflower.
For dinner, we started with a salad.
Then had my Mother-in-law's delicious vegan, gluten free eggplant no-parm (made with Daiya) and some gluten free pasta with broccoli rabe. She also made regular versions, but she is a vegan and eats mostly gluten free and my Bestie-sis-in-law recently found out she has celiac, so she has to eat gluten free as well. 
For dessert, T and I brought gluten free peanut butter chocolate cupcakes from Papa Ganache. Papa Ganache recently won Food Network's Cupcake Wars!
T had told my Mother-in-law how much I wanted to try Coracao's Raw Chocolates..
So this was what she surprised me with! WOW! How lucky am I?
On Sunday, T said we could go anywhere I wanted, I chose Quintessence, my favorite raw food restaurant! I started with a STRONG green juice, T had a Keffir Lime Shake that was amazing! Little A drank most of it! 
Speaking of Little A, we got her a fruit plate with "yogurt", she enjoyed this, but was pretty full from the shake.
T had their strawberry banana crepe. I tasted this and WOW! Delicious!
I went with my favorite, their All American "Burger", this time on grain free bread. I also had a side of corn chips, salad and coleslaw. Mmm! So good! I crave this "burger!" 
As if we weren't stuffed enough, T found Tu-Lu's, a gluten free bakery that has vegan items..
Little A and I shared a gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie. Probably one of the best gluten free cookies I have ever had. It was soft and chewy, not stale tasting like some gluten free baked goods tend to be.
We also stopped at "Live-Live" where I grabbed some raw goodies: Jana's Sweet Strawberry Oat Jam Cookies, Rayo De Sol Rye Bread, and some Dr. Cow Tree Nut Cheese. 
These gluten free vegan cupcakes we brought home for dessert! ;) Not sure how hungry I'll be for dinner, but I will be enjoying one of these! He he!(I wrote this post before dinner yesterday)I'll be back soon!Have a great day!Source:http://gingeristhenewpink.blogspot.com/2013/05/mothers-day-weekend-im-stuffed.html
