WIAW # 14

   Hello party people!
Have I mentioned how much I love Wednesdays?  Well I do!  And since I missed last weeks WIAW post (boo to being sick) I owe you guys a post!

Let's get on with the eats, shall we...

 {Breakfast to go: Green Smoothie}

 {Lunch: Spinach and Kale salad with lots of veggies, lemon and Dijon dressing}

{Snack: another Green Smoothie}

 {Dinner: Butternut Squash Soup with salad and super yummy seed bread.}

 {Dessert: Coffee and Vegan Chocolate Cake... YUM!}

Bevvies...

 {Hot Water with Lemon and Honey}

 {Lot's of water!}

 {Coconut water!  Staying hydrated while I'm under the weather.}

     Starting Monday I'll be posting for the Vegan MoFo all month long so stay tuned for those posts.  And I think I have a semi-theme or weekly theme worked out but I'll iron out the details before Monday.  I'm so excited to participate in this.

   And in case you forgot... I mentioned on my last WIAW that one of my goals was to arrive to work on time (or early).   Guess what?  Today I actually had time to spare when I arrived to work!  WOOHOO  I guess that sick day yesterday gave me that extra little boost that I needed?  Whatever the reason, I hope it lasts.  Ha.

Have an amazing Wednesday everyone!

Love,

Ves xx

Aww, shucks... I'm speechless!

   Oh my goodness!  I’ve received a nomination for the Food Stories Award for Excellence in Storytelling from Vicky over at menubyvicky.  Thanks!... and what?!  I am so flattered.  It feels really good to know that not only do people read my blog they also enjoy it! 

So here's the 411 on how it works: 

1. The nominee should visit the award site (http://foodstoriesblog.com/food-stories-award/) and leave a comment indicating that they have been nominated and by whom. (This step is so important because it’s the only way our judges will know who is being considered for the monthly presentation).

2. The Nominee should thank the person that nominated them by posting & including a link to their blog.
3. Share one random thing about yourself in your blog post.
4. Select at least five other bloggers that you enjoy reading their stories and nominate them for the award.

Food Stories will put together a team of judges to review all nominees and to select a Food Stories Award Winner for each month. More information to come on what fabulous opportunities await for those lucky winners!
