Wrapping up in Philly + headed to NYC!

We finished up HLS in Philly this morning with a 5K walk to the Rocky stairs and a lovely breakfast!

Yesterday was full of sessions on writing a better recipe, a session on action mantras (by a really awesome RD- this was my favorite thing about the whole summit!), and eating healthy while traveling.

Lunch sandwiches- p.s. the great harvest bread is the BEST bread I’ve ever had.  Seriously.

Don’t ask.  I don’t know what we were thinking.

Then we packed it up and hopped a train to NYC!!!!  Me, Laura, Rachel, and Michelle are hitting up the big apple.

Indian food has been had (Channa Masala and Naan) and naps have been taken.

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!

Getting’ Historical With It

Day 2 in Philly and HLS is almost underway! We spent most of the day wandering around being all touristy!

The only thing that I haven’t gotten to do yet that I need to do before I leave is to go to the Rocky steps!

Tea Time

Yesterday Laura and I went on a little field trip!  We hit up Panera for an awesome lunch and I got a super awesome present from her!  (she also made me some cupcakes!)  I can’t wait to make something from this cookbook!!!

P.S.  we also got our plane tickets to Philly for the Healthy Living Summit!!!  Look out Philly, here we come!

From there we headed over to the Fort Worth Stockyards because we had been wanting to hit up The Spice and Tea Exchange for a while!

It was super cool and I got a few things that caught my interest!

These teas are both to die for (I’ve already tried both of them!).  Coconut Oolong, and Black Chocolate!!

I’m thinking this rub will be good for grilling some veggies- especially portabella mushrooms!

Spicy Cocoa Mix- it’s got cinnamon and hot peppers in it!  It reminded me of the Mexican Hot Chocolate I had when we were in Santa Fe- mmmmm!!!

And this Tuscany Blend I think I’ll put it in a little EVOO and use it for dipping some fresh bread in!  I think this was my favorite smelling item in the whole store!

We wandered around the stockyards for a while and I took a lot of pictures, but I’ll post them in a separate post tomorrow!

 

Have a spicy day!!  Winking smile
