Wow! That was a FUN weekend! Went by too fast but it really was jam packed with good times!
Started out bright and early with a BART ride into San Francisco on Saturday. This was Danica’s FIRST time on BART! Look how excited she is! hehe
The reason for waking up at 5am was to join in on the Fitblogger’s Breakfast Summit meeting!
Special thank you to Attune Foods and Annelies for making this possible for us.
We got cool swag bag! Lots of coupons for great products and a tee too!
It was time to eat….I was STARVING so I filled my bowl with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries & 2 pieces of banana. I topped it all off with some Erewhon Strawberry Crisp cereal & soy milk for a tasty AM meal!
With my cereal & coffee in hand it was time to sit in for the discussion on the importance of breakfast with RD Jae Berman. This was a great chat about how to make the most out of what you eat in the morning. We also talked about snacks and making sure our workouts are fueled correctly too. Jae did a great job helping answer everyone’s questions. 
Ok so in the meeting room at Attunes they have old advertisements on the walls…this one cracked me up! Laxative breakfast food! YUM! haha
This was a fun way to meet NEW bloggers & be able to re-connect with the ones I previously had met! It was great meeting everyone!

Group shot!
Cool views from the office…Transamerica building. Can’t really see the pointy top with the heavy fog. lol
It was out of the Attunes office and off to walk to the Ferry Building for the amazing farmers market they have. A little fog didn’t stop us….
WOW… it was a BIG market! Loaded with people too!
I loved all of the BRIGHT colors…
Ohhh pretty!
No photoshop was used in the REDNESS of these tomatoes! lol They were SUPER RED!
I got all excited when I saw the English Peas!
I bought a bag and fought Sean all weekend with sharing them. lol I still have about 1/2 of the bag for snack!
I loved the sign… Little nuggets of heaven!
Succulents are my THING so I got all excited when I saw this display. Danica’s picture of me cracked me up…I look like bigfoot or something! 
ooh honey yum!!
What’s Up Doc?
Fall was in the air….so pretty!
Oh BIGFOOT AGAIN! lol Annelies too!
Ok so we kinda all got separated as we wandered around the market so it was hard to say goodbye to everyone 
But I know Danica & I were getting HUNGRY and decided to head back to grab lunch. We stopped off at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Walnut Creek.
They have great lunch specials even on the weekend!
Salad…
Hot & Sour soup
Then Danica & I decided to share our entrees
Eggplant with a YUMMY Garlic sauce.
This is my go to dish…Chicken with Mixed vegetables. It is in a light garlic wine sauce…so good! It was nice to share the two! Great flavor combos!
Sunday rolled around FAST and we woke up and decided to get out on our bikes before the rain came. We went on the trail right in front of our house.
Can ya tell I was scared taking this picture? lol It’s my 1st time taking pics & riding bikes at the same time. lol Sean kept telling me to be careful. haha
All the way at the end of the trail….The Napa River.
Bike geeks…
Sean helped me cook dinner last night… Chickpea tacos! I mostly followed Veggie Terrains recipe found HERE!
They were good…I asked Sean what he thought and he said, “they are kinda like fish tacos, minus the fish.” lol I felt the same way…kinda like they were missing something. Meat! oh yeah, it was the meat! hehe
Now I want a BIG steak to make up for my vegetarian day yesterday. lol I actually need to sit to plan out a few meals this week.
Anyone making a NEW recipe this week??
Ever try that Chickpea Taco recipe? What did you think?
Ok off to plan dinners! Have a great day everyone! BYE!
Great recap Tracey! I enjoyed seeing you on Saturday and had fun bumping into you and Danica at the succulents. I'm glad to hear your English peas were popular. I spent some of yesterday canning those bright red tomatoes... :) See you next meet-up. -annelies
ReplyDeleteGreat recap! It was lovely meeting you at the meetup. Hope to see you again at another one in the future. :) I didn't really get to say bye to most of the group because I had to run off. Guess that's what happens in the hustle and bustle of the market. :)
