Miracle of miracles, my breakfast held me over until my lunch break at 1 pm. That NEVER happens! I have this cute bowl to thank. :) Attune foods hooked it up at Expo West – not only did I get this on-the-go bowl (like a sippy cup for adults), but I also got to fill it with whatever cereals I wanted. As a huge cereal addict, this was one of the highlights of the Natural Foods show. I could hardly contain my excitement combining all the cereals to make one mega-master-mix. Uncle Sam – check! … Read more >

Monday started bright and early (well, if we are being technical about it, I never went to bed Sunday night…sooo…I guess it started at the stroke of midnight?). Whatever. I got home around 8 am and immediately showered, put on my PJs, and started some oats on the stove. I added a chopped gala to cook with the oats. By the way, this was a pretty hefty batch (in the 2 cup range). Can you believe this bowl was only half the yield? I was feeling crazy so I decided to bust open a… Read more >

After another LOOOOONG morning at the Natural Foods Expo, lunchtime rolled around and Kyle and I were beyond tired (read: ready to throw in the towel). We came, we saw, we conquered, and we were exhausted. Rather than return for another 5 hours of crowds and chaos, we decided that we had pretty much enjoyed everything Anaheim had to offer. Game, set, match. With grumbling tummies (I don’t know how), we said goodbye to the Convention Center and set out to find a real meal. A quick search on my blackberry revealed we weren’t too… Read more >

To say I scored in the swag department would be a gross understatement… This weekend I hit the natural foods jackpot! If you take a peak in one of the FIVE bags above, you’d see a little something like this… Sample size me! The fact that I was fairly picky in which products I opted to take samples of should be an indication of the quality of the entire event. Shocking as it may be, I did eat actual meals in between the massive amounts of samples. I already shared with you Friday’s lunch event,… Read more >

Let’s race through the work stuff so we can get to the real story… The lunch stack! Side note: I need eco-friendly, reusable utensils. I’ve been using the same plastic ones day in and day out [actually they are made from corn or some other hippie ingredient, but still, they are most definitely not meant for reuse]. And while I am a fan of this form of recycling, it’s kinda gross. I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t even wash them. I just put them back in my lunchbox once I’m done eating. I’m saving… Read more >
