I actually didn’t take too many pictures at the tasting pavilion because I was busy, well, tasting! Here are the ones I do have, supplemented with ones borrowed from my roommates Danica, Holly, Susan, and Janetha. Before heading into the tasting, Kyle and my sister joined up with me (I’m not the only foodie in my family). :) So stripe-y. We took some photos in the sunshine…and then the clock struck one and it was time to go. Waiting for the event to start reminded me of being in a corral before a running race. … Read more >

I’ve been busy busy busy working this week…and even though I haven’t exercised for even half a second (blah), it’s all worth it because I get to spend the weekend with some fantastic friends. My packed lunches have been incredible if I do say so myself. Satisfying my every want and need – sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy – you name it, I packed it. It’s all about options people. The main ingredients in these Heart Thrive cookies were oats, brown rice syrup, brown rice flour, rice bran, natural fruit juices, and lots of dried fruit… Read more >

My morning started with this newbie. To me, “Au Naturel”…is the classy way of saying “hippie food”…so clearly this was right up my alley. Like the rest of Udi’s products, this granola is gluten free. It also happens to be dairy free, soy free, nut free, and egg free (it’s is not vegan because it contains honey). The only ingredients are certified gluten free oats, wildflower honey and canola oil. That’s it! THREE ingredients. No wonder they call it Au Naturel… I packed myself a tupperware full of granola to add to my (unpictured) plain… Read more >

The building blocks for a delicious work lunch… Avocado and tofu. Since I make my work lunches the night before, I am usually in a rush to get to bed. Thus, tofu prep tends to be on the minimalist side. I like plain ‘fu so I don’t really care much. All I did was cut some of the block into cubes, spritz it with Bragg’s and microwave it in a glass bowl with a CoverMate cover. After 45 seconds, I flipped them around a bit, and popped them back in for another 45 seconds. It’s… Read more >

It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song. I apologize. But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work. I love it! I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again. I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food. *This post is old, so disregard any references to time. My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up. Remember my pre-packed eats from yore?… Read more >
