Local grocery, some awards and Happy Mother's Day!!

This post is inspired by Rebecca of Chow and Chatter who had written a wonderful post on her local grocery store and by Angie of Angie's Appetite For Life who had mentioned about her favorite brand of almond butter. Reading Angie's post made me realize that I don't have a favorite brand, simply because I've always been making my own almond butter and peanut butter-and no,I don't make it at home!!I make and buy it fresh at my local grocery store!! They have this section where they have all the ingredients ready,and all you do is to start the machine and collect as much as PB/AB that you want!!

Fresh Almond Butter

Fresh Peanut Butter

Not just that,I haven't got any particular brand for honey either as they have their own honey comb!!

Isn't that so cool-no idea how it works though (does anyone have an answer-do share)!!

Moving on Rebecca passed this simply "Awe-Summm" award to me -how cool.I had received a "Friends Award" from Sangeeta very early in my blogging life(I was too wet behind the ears to know that I was supposed to pass it on-so selfish ME kept it with me for sooooo long!!).Better late then never?? Anyway,so on this happy occassion of Mother's Day (my second as a mom),I have the great opportunity to pass not one,but TWO awards. The first is the "Friends Award" that I was supposed to pass on to 8 blogger friends(not sure if I had 8 blogger friend when I got it,now I have so many it's difficult to choose).I wish I could give it to all of you :-(

I pass this on to:

1. Rebecca of "Chow and Chatter" (Reb-I'm so glad I found you and your blog).
2. Smitha Suresh of "Wellness as a Context For Life"(you know why) my friend and ex-colleague!!
3. Kristen of "Eating R.D"
4. Angie of Angie's Appetite For Life -thanks for introducing me to "Double Fibre" Bread)!
5. Gina of "The Candid R.D"
   
6. Natasha of "5 Star Foodie" (I know you've already got this award,but this one is from ME -good "Karma" always comes back)
   
7. Jenn of "Bread plus Butter" (ditto as for Natasha).
8. Pearl of " A Sweet Pearl"-such a talented young girl (ditto as for Natasha and Jenn).

Please pass this award to 8 of YOUR blogger friends :)
Now the next award: The "Awe-Summ" award.I have to first share 7 awesome things about myself (gosh,these awards get tougher):

1. A great mom (today Mother's day-so,that's at the top of my mind),
2. Good friend (always there for those who need a shoulder to cry on),
3. I love being a Dietitian,
4. Love to help people(with my knowledge on nutrition and even generally)
5. I can do anything if I really put my heart and mind into it.
6. I'm very shy if I don't know someone, and have to put in a lot of effort so that people don't think I'm snobbish,
7. I'm a good wife,
8. I've become a better cook in the past one year,ever since I've quit my job to be a full time mom.

Phew-that was tough,now I pass on this award and the tough job of sharing 7 Awe-Summm things about yourself to:

1. Sheetu of My Kitchen-my SIL and also the one who inspired me to start a blog!
2. Yasmeen of Health Nut-for making and sharing such awesome healthy recipes.
3. Sangeeta of Healthfood desividesi -for taking the right step to a healthy life.
4. Christo of Chez What- he he he, "what chez you maverick"? (Oops-just realized that the award says QUEEN of all things-nevertheless)!!
