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 >

I haven’t had very many interesting things to share. The weather went from shorts and tank-top temperatures to bundle in layers degrees. Don’t you gauge the season by outfits, too? I still fit a 4 mile run in yesterday between stuffing my face with brownies. One, two, buckle my shoe unbuckle my belt… Okay, okay, I didn’t JUST have brownies (as if you’d judge me either way). I had a huge bowl of nearly-spilling-over-the-edge oatmeal. 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup frozen blueberries dash of cinnamon drip of NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia… Read more >

In case you want a visual image with the post title, as you say it picture me snapping my fingers across my body with some serious sass. And now roll your eyes. Ah well, we can’t all be divas. Nonetheless, my week’s work eats have been nothing short of amazing. From drab… To fab. 🙂 On top of the quinoa, I chopped up the fattest pear I’ve ever seen (I’m not even exaggerating, it was a beastly looking fruit), and then some crushed cashews. Not just plain cashews though. I put them in a baggy,… Read more >

Here’s the line-up (the photo shows the eats in chronological order of consumption). And here’s the hourly breakdown… 7:30 pm – I pack the above eats for work. 8:30 pm – In an attempt to get back on track, I tuck into the covers extra early. 4:14 am – My alarm goes off and Kyle lovingly nudges shoves me out of my slumber to shut off the beeping. 4:30 am – Jillian Michaels makes me regret seeing the sunrise with weights and cardio. 5:00 am – Shower time. 5:15 am – I sip on coffee… Read more >

Shout out to anyone who recognizes this title (and picture). Too bad VHS tape players are basically extinct because this is a classic as far as I’m concerned. And now, may I present to you, our island of misfit toys… Sad, but true, these do not get used often enough. I have no excuse. It’s something I’m pretty ashamed to admit actually. So I hereby vow to use both the slow cooker and the juicer once a week. Do we have a deal? Good. The inspiration for this crock-pot soup came from here. All I… Read more >
