Healthy Living Summit = An Eating Frenzy!

By Courtney 10 Comments

I have been eating food all.day.long. I am completely STUFFED right now from all the awesome offerings.

Breakfast

Complete with delicious offerings from Quaker, Stonyfield, & Thomas’s – all HLS sponsors. 🙂

Fresh Fruits

IMG_4032

OATS!

IMG_4033

Complete with toppings 🙂

My Goods:

IMG_4036

I crumbled half of my blueberry muffin over the oats, which were already topped with a little brown sugar, raisins, granola, almond butter, and berries. I like to call it my “Everything But The Kitchen Sink” Oats bowl. 😉

After breakfast, it was time for the sessions to get started.

Me, Amy, & Megan

One of the sessions I took today was on photography, so I was able to play around a little bit with some of my camera settings. I was quite surprised, actually, by all the settings my little point and shoot camera has on it! I definitely walked away with some new tips. 🙂

IMG_4053IMG_4054

 IMG_4055 IMG_4056 

I definitely still have a lot to learn, but hey, it’s a start, right? Maybe someday I’ll save up enough money for an SLR…

After the photography session it was time for, what else, but more FOOD!

Lunch

The spread at lunch was absolutely AMAZING! There were so many different choices, I had such a hard time trying to decide what to go for…so I actually pretty much ended up with a little bit of everything. 🙂

Desserts!!!

IMG_4065

IMG_4066

My ENORMOUS plate…

IMG_4068 

HUGE pickle (insert giggle here)

IMG_4067 

Nothing better than a roasted veggie sandwich with provolone. Oh.my.gosh. delicious!

IMG_4069

Desserts!

Don’t let this plate fool you…I most definitely went back for about 4 more little pieces. They were all so delicious, I felt like I needed to try them all! Hey, I’m human, not perfect. 😉

IMG_4071

After lunch, there were some fun giveaways, and guess who actually won something?!? MEEEE!!!

IMG_4093

A snazzy Oikos apron, tote bag, and a copy of the DVD Food Inc., which I’ve really been wanting to watch. YAY for free stuff!

Oh yes, speaking of free stuff…check out all this SWAG I’m leaving with!

IMG_4089   

IMG_4090

Vega!

IMG_4092

Glo Bars!!!

IMG_4091

My afternoon session was a very informative panel discussion, led by Anne, Heather, Julie, Sana, & Andrea. There were a lot of great and informative topics discussed about the blog world.

IMG_4073

My next session was led by Chandra on the 5 W’s of Strength Training. Chandra was a phenomenal speaker, and gave a wealth of good information in her presentation. I’ll be featuring a post with all of her main points very soon!

IMG_4074

Next was a break, with what else but…more FOOD!

IMG_4077

IMG_4078 

IMG_4080

These Tangy Taco Salad Bites were out of this WORLD! I honestly was so full from lunch, but after Julie told me how good they were, I knew better than to pass one up. I definitely need to re-create these babies at home…the hubby would definitely be a fan! 🙂

IMG_4083

Breaks not only meant food. They also meant time to BLOG and hook up computers to recharge your batteries. 😉

IMG_4084

Me & Caitlin, who also gave me some great tips for my first Indian Food Feast tonight. Hopefully I can work up a little more of an appetite after my day full of eating…

IMG_4085

Who am I kidding, I’m sure that will not be a problem. 😯

Neinke & I just got back from another nice casual stroll down the streets of Chicago. It really is such a pretty area.

IMG_4088

After getting back to the room, I wanted to snack on one of these babies that I snagged earlier today…Gina’s macaroons!

IMG_4095

Gina, these things are INCREDIBLE!!! I had to stop myself from eating the whole bag…I think knowing that I have a full Indian Food Feast ahead of me helped. 😉

Time to get ready!!!

    Hi Courtney! I'm so glad I got to feast Indian style with you :-). Since I'm a total food geek, I just searched your entries for Bobby Flay lol.
