I just came back from an audition for Belvita. I was really excited because it is rare that I get to audition for anything that I would actually want to endorse. But man, i love those crackers! have you had them? Go now and run to the store and get yourself a box. I'll wait...
Delicious, right? Somewhere between a graham cracker and a Biscoff, with seeds and whole grains in it so it doesn't feel so much like a cookie. Generally, i don't make breakfast so I live on these, drinkable yogurts from Trader Joe's and smoothies in the morning. Speaking of smoothies, i have some leftover chiffonade of greens from last night's salad so I threw them in my Ninja blender (an amazing tool for the kitchen that doesn't take up too much space!)

I added half an apple, some coconut water, a spoonful of peanut butter, flaxseeds and a few ice cubes. It looks like vomit, but is actually very good. i highly recommend saving any extra undressed salad and throw in a handful anytime you make a smoothie.
But back to Belvita--I am panicked that Fresh and Easy is going to stop carrying them. When I first found them, they were displayed prominently at eye level. As the months have gone by, they have migrated further down the shelf and are now just a toe kick for the cracker aisle. Buy them, people! And if you don't like them, send them my way!
No cooking for tonight. As the last part of my birthday present, Hubs is taking me to see Billy Bragg. I love him. Both Hubs and Billy. He was one of the first concerts I ever saw and his patter is hilarious. He is just so damn good live! The "Back to Basics" cassette was the soundtrack to my junior year of high school. It's been a few years since the last time I saw him, and I have never seen him with my husband, so I am extra excited! Beforehand, we are going to a Spanish gastropub in Koreatown for dinner--my premium for donating to KCRW. Support your local NPR station, folks.
