Oh my goodness, I’ve eaten so much delicious food today!! Basically, I ate allllll day long. I’m not complaining, but holy moly! The good eats just don’t stop coming! But, doesn’t healthy living = good eating!? 
Lunch
Kath did a great job planning the menu for the HLS lunch. It was healthy, delicious, and fun!
Watching other bloggers take photos of their food never gets old. I feel right at home with these folks!
I absolutely loved the lunch spread today. I wanted a little bit of everything!
Chandra and Monica were psyched about lunch too! 
I love you, grilled veggies!
I love you even more, dessert!
I loaded up my plate with salad greens, roasted veggies, quinoa-edamame salad, chickpea salad, a piece of Swiss cheese, and a pickle.
And, of course, my lunch included a brownie on the side.
Lunch buddies!
After lunch, Allie gave me the best gift ever: Allie Bars!!! I’ve been dying to try these babies, so I was beyond excited when she handed me a package of them! I might have to break into one sooner than later.
Snack
Once the afternoon sessions ended, Athenos hosted a very yummy 45-minute break that featured a number of delicious feta and hummus recipes.
I wasn’t really that hungry, but I ended up trying almost one of everything and a downing a million tortilla chips with Southwest Taco Salad dip on them. I’m now obsessed.
I cannot wait to make this Southwest Taco Salad! It’s out of this world! A lot of other HLS attendees were talking about this recipe, too. It’s a good one!
Athenos also offered a fun salad-inspired photo booth. Kath and I thought it would be a great opportunity to practice some yoga poses. Check out the expression on my face!! 
Heading out for a walking tour of Chicago and then dinner with bloggers.

Those food hats are funny! It’s nice to have healthy food when you’re sitting in a conference all day. I hate when I have work meetings and the only food choices are really heavy, greasy sandwiches and chips.
Can’t wait to hear more about this taco salad dip. I historically cannot say no to taco tips
I have been so sad all day that I’m missing this!!! I am definitely going to come next year! I love when you said “watching bloggers take pics of their food never gets old” –that would make me feel right at home too! I want brownies with MY lunch!!!
Can’t wait to hear more updates!
I was impressed by the healthy eats today – yum yum! Grilled veggies never get old.
Roasted veggies and dessert both make me so happy too! Yay for healthy eating priorities! I love how the summit seems like it is just as much about the food, the presentations, the lifestyle as the PEOPLE — I can see how much everyone is having and how people are connecting so well. Love it!
Love that last photo of you and Kath! Enjoy the AllieBars and do let me know whatcha think!!
love the last photo – grrrreat eats!
How much does HLS cost???
That food looks great! Being at home with bloggers is the best feeling. You look like you are having fun.
