fly by
/Hi hi hi with a quick Cleveland post. I was literally running on fumes all day. The past few days have sort of been a blur of bizziness!! Went to bed way too late and left for the airport at 7:20am. Luckily, I had no hang ups at the airport and arrived safely in Cleveland after only 2hrs + 20min in the air.
I took my oats to go this AM. Gotta eat healthy when on the go, or I feel like poo!
- 1/4c oat bran + 1/4c oatmeal
- 1c vanilla rice milk
- 1/2 banana
- dash maple sugar
- ~1T [WF no stir organic – my FAV] pnut butter
- ~1/2T [Jason’s organic] chocolate pnut butter
- ch ch ch chia sprinkles
I am growing to love the creamy oatbran/oatmeal combo!!! Once I arrived at the airport I found Caribou of course! You all should know by know Caribou is much higher on my list than Starbucks.
I got a small cup o’ joe to go and drank it on the plane while I read a good chunk of this book - Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life – I don’t see myself writing a book per say, but it has really been a great read. If you are thinking that writing is your thing and a book is in your future I highly suggest you pick this up for $10-15!
I flew Continental [my fav, along with Frontier] and sat next to a really nice mom + her 2 daughters, 18mo and 3yr old. They were super cute and I give her a lot of credit for traveling alone with them. We actually got a snack on the plane: tuna or turkey samich w/fritos + a hershey bar. I asked the mom if she wanted me to get them an extra because I didn’t want mine. She took me up on the offer. Not a fan of fritos or hershey chocolate and wasn’t feeling the samich either. Do I sound picky :) It’s not that I passed it up because I thought “oh that is not a healthy choice” [which it wasn’t], however I passed it up because those things just do not taste good to me.
Luckily I came prepared! The 18 Rabbits granola bar is absolutely amazing. I would definitely give it a 9/10, even though I can’t put my finger on anything that I didn’t like about it. It had the perfect chew factor and was the perfect sweetness. [pretty sure it was 9g of sugar] The ingredient list was awesome and the bar even had raisins mixed in that I liked. [I mentioned recently I like raisins, but not at all in baked goods] Oh maaan I cannot wait to eat more of these. They reminded me of my ota.bars quite a bit. mmmmm You must check them out!
Guzzled down some OJ as well :)
My dad picked me up and on the way home I snacked on some POPchips – salt + peppa’
I went to my aunt + uncle’s house right away and found my aunt making loads of mondel broit. It’s a Jewish cookie, somewhat similar to a biscotti but WAY better.
Kelsey posted the recipe this summer after she tried them and fell in love. Check it out here!! You will not be sorry. They freeze perfectly and I actually eat them straight out of the freezer whenever my aunt loads me up.
The ends. I ate about 5 of these little guys….mmmmm
Dinner was quick but yum. We made sloppy tom’s [weird that you can buy it cooked in a jar, but there are minimal ingredients and it is delish!] from The Turkey Farm in Marshall, MI. We picked some of it up when we were there last month. I sautéed some veg + we also had some out of season but delicious cantaloupe.
I finally got to light some Chanukkah candles tonight with my parents. Only 2 more nights left!! I took a photo but my cam is now out of batteries so you will see it tomorrow!

On another note. I know a lot of you have showed interest in the RUSH bowls I talked about on the blog a few weeks ago. I got a list of stores they are available in, from Nicole [the VP]. She said she will try to get them at other locations if there is enough interest. They are still in the start up process of selling them for retail so it might take some time.
