Summer In The City

Last week I spent five days in New York City. I spent the first few days with Quaker and the second part just having fun! Here’s a recap of my time with the Quaker team. Check back tomorrow for part II!

I’m working with Quaker again this year as part of The Oat Authority, and they asked me to come with them to New York to meet with editors of major women’s magazines about the growing overnight oats trend. I was happy to come talk overnight oats for a day and a half!

I took the train up on Tuesday and was greeted by a bright blue city skyline.

I stayed at the Eventi Hotel, and it was lovely!! I love Kimpton Hotels and have visited in them in San Francisco and Washington as well!

No view to see here. No view at all 😉

After arriving, a workout and a shower, I put on a dress and headed out to meet the Quaker team!

We met for dinner at Beauty and Essex. The restaurant looks like a simple pawn shop from the front, but once you’re inside it features big chandeliers and a dark, cozy atmosphere.

We feasted on fancy bourbon cocktails,

For breakfast the next day I grabbed berries, granola, an egg and yogurt from the hotel buffet (which was really nice and inexpensive!)

For the desk-side interviews, we met with editors from a lot of the major food and women’s magazines: Martha Stewart Living, Family Circle, Rachael Ray Every Day, Parents, and Shape. We talked to them about the growing trend in searches for overnight oats – Google Trends reported that in 2016, people are searching for overnight oat recipe inspiration twice as often as they were a year ago (which is a 40 to 50% increase).

I then talked about my love for overnight oats, the dish’s nutritional power, and then presented a demo of my go-to overnight oats recipe and the banana split I made last year.

Then we had this epic toppings bar where editors could create their own breakfast jars to take home.

We changed locations twice, going to Women’s Health and HelloGiggles. We had amazing caterers from Scoozi Events who helped us to keep the overnight oats in stock and all the toppings replenished. I did my demo maybe 15 times throughout the day, so we had to keep restocking! (Shoutout to Sean!!)

During our lunch break we ate at Dig Inn, and boy was this combination of sockeye salmon, kale and sweet potato delicious!

I was ready for a power nap at the end of the day! After a quick one I met the team for dinner at Hundred Acres.

We shared the following:

I went to bed as early as I could because we had another 6:00 a.m. wake-up.

The next morning, we were in the Hearst Tower presenting to editors at Food Network Magazine and Good Housekeeping.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
