Ok so Piper and I have a new obsession lately. It's this milk we have been making together. It's not technically just an Almond Milk, but for lack of a better name (I am open to suggestions), we have named it the best Almond Milk EVER! There are several secret ingredients which include dates and salted macadamia nuts as well as some cashews. This has turned into our "treat". When we want something sweet its the perfect thing.

In The Kitchen {Lentil Eggplant Burgers}
So my Sunday ritual as of late is to cook big batches of things so we can enjoy them for the weeks to come. I keep some in the fridge, and then freeze some for later.
