Last morning in DC started with the usual waffle run. Then we said goodbye to Kyle’s dad and headed to the National Geogrpahic museum. Kyle and I are total Nat Geo nerds, and when I found out they had a special Titanic exhibit I was dead set on seeing it. They had a ton of stuff from the movie set, lots of footage of interviews from the divers who first found the wreckage, and a video recreation of the ship going down. I never knew James Cameron was a deep sea explorer. Not only has… Read more >

At Expo West, I came across a company I’d never heard of before called Pure Market Express. They were super friendly and offered me samples of raw vegan chocolate truffle pie in a little shot glass. How could I not fall in love immediately? I know. It seems too good to be true. But I swear, it’s not a hologram. That beauty is the real deal. I enjoyed the shooter and went on my way, dreaming of the day I’d recreate something similar in my own kitchen. A week or so later I got… Read more >

Umm, I still have last week’s food on my computer. Sooo, that’s weird. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged an entire day’s eats (so many recipes!). Why not share 24 hours full of food? [or whatever portion of the day I was awake] I woke up at 4:30 for work because I’m crazy and like shorting myself an hour of sleep to exercise before I’m on my feet for 12 hours straight. Helloooo sarcasm. On the way to work (at 6:25 am) I enjoyed a [raw] Cardamom Almond Biscotti by TwinCakes Bakery. I… Read more >

If you’re wondering why there have been more giveaway posts and Spain recaps than daily eats lately, it’s because I’ve been doing the fructans challenge phase. And I’m not thrilled with it. At first I was nervous about reintroducing fructans, then I was excited, then I went overboard… I actually started last week, but had such horrible symptoms, I went back to the elimination diet for two days in between, just to allow my body to rest and re-set. I’ll share my reactions and symptoms in more detail at the end (ie once I’ve sorted… Read more >
