The Brunch buffet.

Ok so Edgar said, romaine lettuce is a good source of Serotonin, as well as, a good source of vitamin A, C, K, and Folate. My cousin also just said a good way to get Serotonin is hugs, kisses, exercise and sex. They all seem like pretty fun, manageable ways to get some happiness happening!

Today we did a small catering event at school for all the employee's and a few of the students guests so Ill put some pictures up of that, with our student brunch we had today too. Karrilee, Tyler and I went to some 80's party with the staff of Living Light and we shook our tail feathers, then headed home for a late night snack of leftover dessert! It was fun to see our chef's out of their uniforms, i almost didn't recognize them! Well for now that's all i've got!

I've been a pretty bad blogger, I upload lots of photos, but i suppose i should be following them up with reasons on why eating more raw food is good, and what the nutrition is of different fruits and veggies. I really want to tell you all that stuff, but i might have to fill you in a bit later.

School was intense today, non stop and we had a lot of homework! It's no excuse just know that you need serotonin to be happy, and the best raw food source is from spirulina, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and there is something else too, but again ill have Edgar fill me in on it!

For now im going to be dreaming of the serotonin that is in my gut! xoxo


Quiche Crusts....to be filled at a later date!


Edgar, Me , and Luciana


Date Sconce, before they were dehydrated. To be consumed on our brunch this friday!


Truffled Alfredo pasta, could have been better, but looked gorgeous!


Lemon tartlet again!


Group shot of Lemon Tartletts, these would knock your socks right off!



I never remember to take a picture of breakfast, a celery stick, some soaked almonds, romaine lettuce which is high in something ill ask Edgar, and our green smoothie, oh and an orange!

This is a piece of heart shaped spinach on a gorgeous pomegranate! Love is in the Air, I miss you Russell! xo

Well after school a few of us girls took a trip to Mendocino, to a gorgeous restaurant and eco friendly lodge called the Stanford inn. It was such an amazing vibe and it had the cutest, warm, cozy, place, as well as an awesome lil gift shop! It was such a fun experience and i think i needed some warming comfort food to slow down my detoxing process.

I am in the kitchen with Luciana, Edgar, and Dara we are being bad and staying up past 9:00 well its now 11:00 and im going to hit the hay! Good night to all my followers hahahaha!
