Hi Friends, another year has gone by and today I’m 44. If you don’t know me yet, I’m John Allen Mollenhauer founder of nutrientrich.com.
It’s a nice sounding number, I own it and I’m looking forward to a great year ahead. The Party hasn’t taken place yet, but today, over lunch, with a few friends and associates, I had a wonderful birthday lunch and I wanted to share it with you.
I used the the picture to the left, for this post, because it shows you that a cake can be anything you want it to be, just like any other style of food. Now this wasn’t my cake today, but If I had the time, you can bet I would have bought, or made it, and most definitely eaten it.
My cake was a more traditional cake this go-around, although, when I do eat a more traditional cake, you can be sure it uses plant-based ingredients, and is “better” and more nutrient rich than most cakes. But as you may be coming to know, as a Nutrient Rich Healthy Eater, you don’t need to be an idealist, even though that urge to eat better is always there.
Here’s a picture of the my birthday cake this year. It was a carrot cake from Whole Foods.
I have to say I love carrot cakes and have had them on all ends of the spectrum from the traditional ones, to the vegan brand, to the whole foods plant-based nutrient rich version, and of course that’s the best one of all.
But hey, get what you can!
And this is what my associates got for me, and I rarely turn down a gift of love, even if it’s not “the best” or most “nutrient rich.” Love always supersedes–and I loved this cake!
Mmmmm — Happy Birthday to me!!!
Fruit Cupcakes. Yum! The figs, might just be my most favorite food in the world. Next to, hummus!
