weird craving


sorry this picture isn't very good. i taught the 8am this morning and was hungry for something different when i got home. i wanted something salty and sweet. usually those cravings are separate for me. anyways- toasted a raisen bread slice of ezekiel bread and made some homemade blackberry jelly. basically i heated up some blackberries over the stove with a little bit of water and added a touch of agave nectar. then put a scrambled egg white on the top- so yummy! it was so good i wondered why i had not thought of it before?!

saturday night alright! (insert sir elton voice here)


morning wake up call-pre yoga class 
fruit bowl and 1/2 cup lowfat oragnic cottage cheese
mid blog noon snack - 3/4 cup puffins and my new favorite kombucha flavor- botanic no 9
saturday night -alright alright alright- ewww -yeah! can't get that song out of my head!

so the really cool thing about puffins cereal- besides the fact it's crunchy, tasty, organic AND good for you....it also helps the puffins. they are the orange-footed swimming birds. project puffin celebrated it's 30th anniversary in august 04. and barbara's cereal is a proud sponser of the audubon'e project puffin.

more dining adventures at whole foods

buddha head- pretty cool looking- it's crazy that that is actually edible! 
it's named after it's appearance- UGLY!
fountain by the outside dining area
friday night taylor and i met at the new whole foods after his workout at the gym and my 5:30 yoga class. my class was good-even managed to squeeze in some jokes---students laughed so that's a good thing. sometimes you are up on the podium and say something that you think is quite relative and no one gets it and you end up feeling like a complete jack....so when people respond to your humor it is always a good thing:)

anyways- back to whole foods. taylor and i had so much fun walking around - checking out the produce. after we ate we went outside and sat by the fountain. it was so nice and relaxing to just chill- and the weather was beautiful!

sorry if my pics are lower quality- took them on my iphone

hurray for whole foods!


so the new whole foods is here! (abrams and gaston-where minyards use to be) i was so excited to visit wf one day after the opening. had to practically fight for a parking spot (brought me back to my  la driving days) but it was all good. i loaded up my plate with a salad and many veggies- along with some tofu for protein. so good. in fact, i enjoyed my whole foods dining experience so much i am bringing the carol there for lunch tomorrow :) i could really spend a hour walking down the aisles checking out all the healthy goods! and their organic beauty products! to die for- seriously-luckily my pocket book won't allow me to get into any trouble...but i could do a lot of damage. i won't..but i could:)
