When asked what sort of things I would like in an Easter basket (since again, we have no candy/sugar) I started to think of a few of my favorite things...most of which don't really fit in an Easter basket, but hey it got me thinking about the things I love :) Here is my list, which I kept to 10 just so it doesn't get boring, in no particular order.
1. Great Harvest Bread Company - http://www.greatharvestutah.com/
1. Great Harvest Bread Company - http://www.greatharvestutah.com/
Honestly, I think this place is amazing. Their Cinnamon Raisin Wheat Bread along with their Vegan Muffins are pretty much my two favorite foods as of late. I think I go to Great Harvest at least twice a week...and not going to lie, getting a free slice of whatever bread is available pretty much makes my day!2. Spoon Me - http://www.spoonmeyo.com/
If you spend any extended period of time with me, or even just look at my car, you will hear something about Spoon Me. Ben likes to refer to me as the spoon me poster child. I have a couple of their shirts, some of their underwear, a sticker for my car and are looking into the new sweats I just realized they have. Nope, Spoon me is not a clothing store, it is natural frozen yogurt ironically(so why they have clothes and such, I'm not sure). Basically, Spoon Me is the ColdStone for the healthy. There is nothing added to the frozen yogurt to make it bad for you and for your mix ins you can either get fruit, nuts, granola and maybe some cereal or chocolate if you prefer. Weighing in at 22 calories an ounce and tasting better than you would ever believe, I'm sold!
3. P90x and Body Combat - http://www.beachbody.com/ (P90x)
Between the new workout videos and my new love for body combat, I am set to kick anyone's booty that comes in my path...alright so I'm just really looking for alternative ways to keep in shape. I struggle not working out and I continually find new things to switch it up. I definitely recommend these two!
4. Whole Wheat Banana Bread
So we all know that I am constantly looking for ways to make recipes better, for you. Ben and I have pretty much perfected this recipe and I absolutely love it, partly because I get to cook with B. Honestly, no oil or refined sugar along with wheat flour, does it get any better?5. The Roos Clan
Let's just take a moment to think about all the good times we have had...and all the not so good times. As I spent Easter without my family it made me miss them. I know I know, cheese ball, but I am never home and so when I am, I like to be with them contrary to popular belief. Good people, love them all.Sorry I couldn't find a picture of all of us...which means we need to take one!
6. University of Utah Football
Utah football is pretty much the number one reason that fall is my favorite season. I can't think of anything I like more than spending a Saturday night (or day because of dear ol' Kyle's requests) at Rice Eccles in the Muss. I love cheering, I love the game, love it all! Oo, I can't wait!7. Photography
If I have one great joy in this life that helps me relax more than anything in this world and just makes me smile...its taking pictures. It is a life long dream to become a photographer and just see where it takes me and if my style gets me anywhere. If it doesn't, that's okay, I still have Accounting :)This is a picture I took of my favorite flowers, Gerbera Daisies!
8. Running
Give me a pair of Asics and some land (or even a tredmill) and I will hit the ground running. I never thought I would have a joy of running or even want to do it that much, but if I go too long without a good run, I get a little anxious. Great way to relieve stress and clear your mind!
P.S. These are my new Asics...color and all...metallic poo brown, classic!
9. Cashews
If you were to leave me with a can of mixed nuts or a bag of trail mix for too long, you will soon realize that the first thing to go are the cashews. I love cashews. I think I get this love from my dad who unfortunately suffers if he can't get to the cashews first.
10. Benjamin B.
How could I make a list of my favorite things and forget him!? Yeah, I'm a big dork, but I love this kid to death. He is amazing and has enough ambition and drive for the both of us. He sees where I am coming from, is a great listener and gives me his honest opinion. He is my cheerleader and pretty much my better half :)

That is a great list, Kate. Thanks for sharing :)
I loved the list as well. Now I want to go to Great Harvest, Spoon Me, and I definitely need your banana bread recipe as Daniel and I were just discussing today that we need a healthier version of his favorite bread!
That was so fun to read! I always tell myself i'm going to eat healthy, and I have to say the stuff you eat actually looks good! Maybe I'll try the no sugar thing... and you and Ben are so so cute together, me and the gals thought so from the very beginning!
Kati darling! I love reading your blog, I have to tell you. I'm totally intrigued by this Body Combat you speak of. It sounds so video-gamey (which now makes it sound like the taste of duck). Also, I love Asics shoes! They are absolutely the best! I try to convert everyone I know, but it looks like you've beaten me to the punch. :)
We certainly missed you in St. George. Great list.
Yep, like Erika said, so cute together! I like that picture of you two!
