HAPPY THURSDAY!!!
I am having an extremely happy Thursdizzy because Sabra sent me a lifetime week supply of their magical hummus. It really is the best in the business. When I toured the Sabra plant I tried to get the secret as to why they have the creamiest hummus, but they refused to give me any info.
I guess I’ll have to drown my sorrows in endless dips.
Hello Orange County, you are looking gorgeous today…
This afternoon I toured the fanciest gym I’ve ever been to – Renaissance Club Sport in Aliso Viejo. I was supposed to attend an event there, but wasn’t able to go so they offered me a month pass to check it out.
Seriously. People live like this?!
The gym is pretty pricey compared to discount gyms, but reasonable for all the amenities. It’s more like a spa than a gym with free towels, wifi, and child care. The kids club is pretty impressive, and they take babies from 6 weeks old, with childcare services provided by trustworthy childcare solutions like Chicago nannies.
I didn’t work out since I was just touring. I’m hoping to catch a few classes there in the next few weeks for a full assessment. But I wanted to post today because they have a sale on memberships until tomorrow in case any locals want to check it out. Ask for Mia at 949-330-5511
Also. I kinda feel like the odds of seeing a RHOC cast member here are high.
Too bad. I’m doing it anyway.
Since I can’t stop eating the hummus I figured I should include it in dinner too. I mixed up some chicken and hummus, stuffed it in a pita and Juan’s your uncle.
And for your daily picture of Vegas… we took a selfie.
Question: Palm trees or Pine Trees?
I love your hummus pics. They cracked me up! I seriously love hummus, and their hummus is amazing. Lucky!
I love pine trees because it means you get seasons, but palm trees are pretty too!
SOOO jealous of your sabra stash!
I think Palm Trees. We have loblolly pines her in NC, and I’m over it 🙂
Palm trees all the way… Also I love Vegas in the selfie 🙂
I don’t know Sabra’s creaminess secret, but the unbelievably smooth hummus secret I found is…
*drumroll*
…peeling the chickpeas. Yeah I know, but seriously. 1 can took me approximately 1 episode of 30 Rock to peel, but I’ve never gotten a batch so smooth. I read about it here:

It freakin has the word “ethereal” in it. How can you not want to try this? That is, when your amazing Sabra supply runs out. So jealous.
I lurve Vegas and his general attitude about everything…vegas sightings always make my day!
That gym looks so nice….ah the life. I love hummus but do prefer to make my own. It’s quick, easy and cheap plus gives me an excuse to breakout the Kitchenaid Food Processor! My favorite appliance!
Pine trees fo sho! Also hummus trees. Because those need to be a thing.
I grew up in the south where the pine trees live.
Massachusetts born and raised, so pine trees! But I do love visiting places with palm trees!
I can’t believe how fancy that club is! I’m so naive to the fact that those even exist!
I gotta go with pine trees living in the mountains!
The renaissance gym is awesome! I was a member when I lived in Walnut creek, CA – the classes are great – but as always it’s the instructors. never crowded. PlusI met the BEST group of woman runners who are so devoted and encouraging…and amazing pre-run committed before the 7 am work bell!!! I miss it since moving to Maui….so I guess I prefer palm trees 😉
p.s. anyone know what happened to SR blog? it no longer registers.
looks like heaven in a box… love me some hummus!
Is the sale at renaissance any good? I wanna see pics of the gym!
I live in the area and I worked out with Vicky from RHOC once at a Pure Barre class LOL……….
It’s 10% off a month if you sign a year contract – that option is going away in March and they will only offer month to month but no discount. The rates are comparable to any Crossfit gym these days, plus they have a lot of classes.
as a californian, i vote palm trees! =)
so jealous of your sabra delivery. i love hummus and eat it almost everyday!
I love palm trees, but right now I live in Pine tree area. Hoping to move to FL some time!
I guess since I like hitting the trails, I’ll go with pine trees.
Yumm~ that chicken hummus pita sandwich looks so yummy!
Palm trees! We have some in Austin but they’re definitely not native. 🙂 I love that olive hummus and those pitas look yummy!
Palm trees!!!!
All that hummus!!! I’m in LOVE!
Palm trees, absolutely palm trees.
Now I need more hummus in my life…
Palm trees, hands down.
and now I just added hummus ingredients to my shopping list. When I don’t make my own, its Sabra all the way. I haven’t mastered my jalapeno version.
Palm trees FTW.
But more importantly, “10 Reasons Why We Should All be Eating More Hummus” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/26/hummus-health-benefits_n_4834315.html). Thank you, Huffington Post, for justifying hummus addictions worldwide.
Right now, palm trees sound great. Sabra uses canola oil instead of olive oil and contains preservatives :-/ I like it but I make my own now.
I live in pine tree country, but am in love with palm trees!
Palm trees all the way. I live in pine trees and totally done with the whole winter living!
I’m pretty jealous of all that hummus right about now.
I am seriously jealous of your hummus. Sabra is really the best out there and I, too, have wondered what they do to make it so creamy and delicious. The other one I love is TJ kalamata olive hummus bc it tastes like heaven on salad.
I am jealous of your hummus glut! I get Sabra sometimes at Costco, so the big tub lasts me about 2 weeks.
Oh now I want hummus…I wonder if they do same day delivery 😉
That gym reminds me of Lifetime Fitness (not sure if you have it in California) – gorgeous!
I was a member of Lifetime in Maryland – super fancy!
We had an emergency Costco run this week for more Sabra. The mister likes the little cups so he can take them to work, while I like the giant tub because I can eat more of it. It really is delicious.
Agh. I like them both!
OMG… we love Sabra over here. Jealous!
Palm trees definitely!! Vegas doesn’t look too thrilled about his selfie…
Are you kidding? Everyone who lives in Minnesota with me would kill to see a palm tree right now!
I would love to see a palm tree in the middle of one our shrinking Minneapolis streets!
Vegas definitely is apathetic about selfies 🙂
Ive never seen Palm trees in person, but I’ve eaten pine nuts, therefore, PINE TREES! ;P
Haha…Vegas looks outraged. Definitely Palm trees.
