I’m royally sore today. It must be the rollercoasters (because I didn’t work out yesterday). Unless you consider shoving toddlers out of the way to get to the front row of the parade a workout…not that I did that. For breakfast I wanted something cool and something crunchy. So I went with a smoothie topped in granola. The smoothie had frozen strawberries, soymilk, Antioxidant Natural Greens, and ice. With Love Grown Clusters of Oats on top. It was great, but I was really just passing the time until lunch. Why so stoked for my mid-day… Read more >

I’m not an overly dramatic person (must be the residual effects of my tomboy youth…) but I have to say, the lack of candied ginger in ALL the local Whole Foods stores has me freaking out. I am officially out. Like Kyle’s chapstick stash, I had back-ups upon back-ups, but they are all depleted now. Yikes. Hoarding fail. It gets worse!

Imagine a Whole Foods the size of 15 football fields…now imagine browsing it’s aisles for two days straight…now imagine representatives from every product giving your samples of their latest and greatest to try (for free!)…and THAT, my friends, is EXPO WEST. In other words, hippie heaven. Friday started bright and early as Kyle and I made our way to Anaheim to register and all that jazz. And before we knew it, the doors pearly gates opened and BAM! Instantly we were slammed with people pushing samples at us…nibbles and bites of savory, creamy, sweet, smooth,… Read more >
