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 >

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 >

Still ailing…aching from head to toe. Brain, body, pretty much everything. And I’m really getting sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Blah. Today I had a sneaky chef moment, though. As my girl Holly says, “sharing is caring” so here you go: When you’ve hit the wall with carbs and nutbutter (the horror!), but you still have zero desire to eat greens, here’s a delicious way to cheat them into your bod. PB & Greens Smoothie 3/4 cup almond milk 1 frozen banana 2 shafts of kale, leaves only 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter… Read more >

It’s 9/29! You didn’t think I’d forget National Coffee Day did you!?!? Not a chance. I’m a tad behind in blogging because I’ve been playing catch-up around the casa. I’ve been productive, but I hardly deserve a pat on the back since it’s all stuff that I should have accomplished last weekend. For breakfast on Tuesday I had a bowl of One Lucky Duck grawnola, cheerios, and bananas on top of greek yogurt. Tuesday I got my running mojo back and after this bowl of deliciousness had digested I set off for a nice 30 minutes… Read more >

This weekend was a reminder of why Kyle and I moved back to the West Coast. No offense NYC, but when it comes to the weather and the social scene, California is where the party’s at! I may be well out of college, but that doesn’t mean I’m an old fart (yet). This weekend I was drawn to keg parties and tailgates like a moth to a flame. I don’t mind a seedy bar once in a while either. But before I get to the brew-fueled festivities, let me back up to Friday. You like… Read more >
