The Best "On the Go" Bar



So Lara bars are one of the only energy/ snack bar on the market that isn't loaded with crap!

Every other bar, like Quaker oats, cliff, kashi, special k, generic cereal or granola bars, are typically packed with corn syrup, sugar, and soy!

Lara bars are just fruit and nuts and they come in a wide variety of flavors like apple pie, pecan pie, and other ones with chocolate (that don't contain soy lecithin!!!!). It's gmo free and usually contains 5 or less wholesome ingredients.

You can get these bars at almost any grocery store, even costco sells a variety pack.

Way to go Lara Bars!

Get Fresh Local Organic Produce Delivered to You!


Here's a great way to support the Pacific Northwest and Washington farmers!

So I've been telling people about this and it's seems to me like many are unaware of this great service here in the northwest.

 You can have fresh local organic food delivered to you for a reasonable price either weekly or bi monthly.

There are two sites that I know of that do this. 

One is Full Circle Farms, which is a local farm here in Washington that teams up with other organic farmers in the region to bring you the best crops around. This company has a vast delivery area around and out of Seattle, plus this company allows you to select certain foods you don't like to leave out of your box and put more of something else you do like. There boxes come in standard or family sized with a variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs. This site also has an online grocery store, so you can have organic artisan crafted cheese and bread, as well as organic goods like meat, eggs, pantry food, pasta, and grains delivered to you as well. Price range for the fruit and vegetable boxes are  regular 37$- family size 58$ for delivery and 34$-54$ for pick up. They have pick up sites all over the pacific northwest.

The other site is Pacific Coast Harvest. This company uses organic farms around the region as well to give you organic produce. They have three sizes of boxes (single, regular, family) and three different styles of boxes ( all vegetable, the Washington box i.e. all fruit,  or half and half). The delivery range is mostly just in Seattle and immediately around Seattle. The price range for boxes is single 22$ regular 32$ and family 42$. 

So There you go people! Another great way to stock your place with local organic produce and support our local economy!

As always,
 KNOW WHAT YOU ARE EATING 
and read your labels.
