Kickstarter - Pleasant Pops Farmhouse Market & Cafe

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:41:06 -0400

Kickstarter - Pleasant Pops Farmhouse Market & Cafe:

I just backed Pleasant Pops Farmhouse Market & Cafe

I <3 Pleasant Pops. The pops are tasty and Brian and Roger are all around fantastic guys.

Read more in today’s article from ScoutmobDC:

“There’s not much better on a hot muggy day than busting into a fresh fruit ice pop to cool off. This is why Pleasant Pops rose to the top of our list of food-truck favorites this past year and it’s also why we’re licking our lips to learn PP recently signed a lease to open a permanent storefront at 1781 Florida Ave., NW, right between Adams Morgan, U Street and Dupont Circle. “We’ve been looking for the right place for two years,” said Roger Horowitz, who owns Pleasant Pops with Brian Sykora. “We think we’ve found it.”

Although the Pleasant Pops truck is seasonal (they’ll be hitting the streets for the first time this year on April 4 at the Foggy Bottom farmer’s market), the store will be open year-round. “Our goal is to open on July 1,” said Horowitz, who noted the date may be slightly later in the month depending on city paperwork.

As far as what the store will sell, obviously, their all-natural pops are high on the list. “We’re going to have four new flavors every week [and] experiment with a lot more tropical fruit,” said Horowitz, adding that the shop will also offer several of its most popular options for the summer that incorporate strawberries and peaches. (Drool.) In addition, the store will also be a mini produce shop, featuring products from the farmers Pleasant Pops sources their ingredients from, as well as an expanded café menu that includes sandwiches, salads, coffee and tea. “So, we’re going to be your one-stop shop for a bunch of grocery stuff,” said Horowitz.

Of course, all of this is costly. Horowitz said he and his partner (as well as several friends and family members) are putting all of their savings into the shop. Now, they’re hoping the community will get behind them, too, via a Kickstarter campaign. Besides supporting local merchants, those who donate will also get some sweet swag.”

Trader Joe's Two-Week Cleanse

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:28:00 -0400

After a weekend of heavy drinking (thank you, St. Patrick’s Day) the man and I decided to do the Trader Joe’s two-week cleanse.

I’m hoping to use tumblr, twitter, pinterest, etc… for healthy meat-free, dairy-free, simple carb-free recipes!

Interested in learning more about our Trader Joe’s Two-Week Cleanse…

The Trader Joe’s Two-Week Cleanse includes three formulas:
*Digestive
*Liver
*Fiber

Week 1:
Digestive Formula - 3 tablets at night
Liver Formula - 1 capsule at night
Fiber Formula - 4 capsules in the morning, 4 capsules at night

Week 2:
Digestive Formula - 2 tablets at night
Liver Formula - 1 capsule in the morning, 2 capsules at night
Fiber Formula - 4 capsules at morning, 4 capsules at night

It sounds like it will be a pretty do-able cleanse since you can eat as much as you want during the cleanse - there are just a few dietary limitations/suggestions:

“While using Trader Joe’s Complete Body Cleanse, we suggest you eat small, frequent, healthy and balanced meals. You should also drink plenty of water and try to reduce your intake of processed foods, simple carbs, beef, pork, dairy, wheat and soy products. It’s best to avoid caffeine, alcohol, sugar, potatoes, saturated fats, trans fats and artificial sweeteners while cleansing.”

Cutting out meat will NOT be a problem (I’m already a vegetarian) but we’ll be cutting out dairy, alcohol, caffeine, processed foods, sweets, etc….

I am going to miss cheese. I am going to miss coffee. I am going to miss HH drinks.

It’s only 2 weeks so I’m sure I’ll survive!

It’s like Spring Cleaning for our bodies!

The “fun” begins tomorrow.

If you have any fabulous recipes please send them my way!

UPDATE: Starting weight (although this is about health, not weight) is 179.
The heaviest I’ve been since I gained so much weight in college. Oy.
