It’s Pride Weekend here in San Diego.
In honor of rainbow flags flying, here are my rainbow-colored recipes for a very rainbow flag-flying kind of weekend.
Red
Strawberries and Cream Smoothie (vegan, GF)
Raw Taco Nut “Meat” (vegan, GF) – One of the best raw vegan recipes in my entire archives and it takes 30 seconds to make. Use it in wraps, over salads, or eat by itself.

What are you doing this weekend?
Have you ever been to any Pride festivals, events, or parades?
Here are the last few years worth that I have blog posts from:
2011 <– some fun pictures in this post
Celebrating diversity and promoting tolerance; the vibe in the city, the people-watching, the great energy, it’s so much fun to be around and it’s one of my favorite weekends of the year.
My neighborhood is more than alive right now with a half million Pride attendees and visitors from all over the country. It’s the fourth largest Pride Parade in the country.
My car is parked for the weekend; it’s a walking-only kind of weekend due to all the traffic and road closures and that’s just fine with me.
Thanks for the Zoku Single Quick Pop Maker and Chocolate Station Giveaway entries and have a great weekend!
I’ve never gone to a pride festival/event, but I would like to!
HELL YEA to pride weekend Averie!!!! LOVE this post so much. And I bet it was a fabulous weekend, too. Your website is full of so may wonderful colorful recipes AND colorful backgrounds and dish ware. One of my favorite thing about Averie Cooks is all the pretty colors :)

I am in love with that photo of the rainbow flag, I am obsessed with photographing flags. Glad you had such a fun time at the parade :)
Sounds like a fun weekend. It’s great to celebrate tolerance and individuality. I’ve been to pride a couple of times in London, and it’s always been great fun!
