Birthday Partay!

My seven year old daughter wants a birthday party complete with all sorts of things that will take me forever to morph into a healthy version of themselves.  It's not like anything has to taste like their original, overly sweet, fast food brethren because she's never even eaten anything, but my version.  So, pizza and sundaes it is!
What my sundaes will look nothing like. Gross. Honestly, Nesquick on a sundae?

How I'll do it:

Pizza:

Giant Caesar Salad made with our favourite, homemade dressing from Nourishing Traditions, some raw parmesan, and a good sprinkling of organic, pastured bacon crumbs.

Sundaes:

  • Homemade ice-cream from raw cream (she loves ginger and vanilla) a la Nourishing Traditions
  • Crazy-yummy homemade caramel sauce (made with raw butter, maple syrup and sea salt)
  • Freshly roasted and salted pecans
  • Toasted coconut
  • Unsweetened, organic, 100% chocolate (I buy this and sweeten it myself so we can avoid the cane sugar in all of the sweetened organic chocolate). Cocoa Camino just came out with some bars that are organic and Free Trade, but for some reason, they aren't listed on their website yet.
