Rudi’s Organic Bakery Bagel And Sandwich Flatz


Rudi’s Organic Bakery was founded in Boulder, Colorado, and is the nation’s largest brand of USDA organic breads.

They’ve recently launched a new product: Their Bagel and Sandwich Flatz, and I was lucky enough to get a sample.

These Bagel and Sandwich flatz offer a lighter and healthier option for people on the go.  There’s between 3 to 5 grams of fiber in each serving, and each sandwich flat or bagel round offers 23-25 grams of whole grains per serving in their whole wheat varieties.  The best part is that they’re only 110 calories or less per serving!

The following varieties can be found in Natural Food Stores and a select few mainstream grocery stores:

Plain Bagel Flatz: Perfect with cream cheese, jam, peanut butter, or your favorite spread.

100% Whole Wheat Bage Flatz: Made from whole grain wheat and other wholesome ingredients.  These are perfect for on the go.

Multigrain Sandwich Flatz: These are perfect for lunchtime.  Made from: whole wheat, millet, spelt, corn, oats, flax seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.  A much healthier option for your lunchtime needs.

100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Flatz: Another great addition to a great lunchtime sandwich.  Pair it with your favorite sandwich varieties.

When these arrived on my doorstep I couldn’t wait to try them.  I paired them with natural peanut butter, cream cheese, jam, caged free eggs, and even our after Easter ham.

They were perfect for on the go, and a great afternoon snack from a long day of work.  And the best part was how good they tasted!

*Disclosure* Rudi’s Organic Bakery did not compensate me for this post, but did provide me with samples of their whole wheat bagel rounds and whole wheat sandwich flatz to review.

Ode to the Ocean ;)


It’s funny.

When I first moved to LA, every day I tried to get out to the Ocean.  It was a luxury to me, something I didn’t have back in Minnesota.  So every day I’d go out and try to capture a sunset, and I’d find a new location to visit and observe, and be by that ocean.

But I realize now that I’ve been here over a year, I rarely take the time to go visit the Ocean, or to appreciate it like I once did.

I’m taking advantage of it.

Every now and again when I’m driving along, hitting my stores I get an urge to drive by the ocean.  I have to stop myself and do it, and every time I do, I feel so peaceful afterwards.

It’s funny how life gets the best of us, and we sometimes forget the beauty all around us.

So, today, this is my tribute to the beautiful ocean, and how very fortunate I am to have this in LA, and where I now live.

Crystal Cove Beach

Venice Beach

Point Vincent, Palos Verdes

It really is a beautiful site.  One that we need to stop and appreciate more often.  When was the last time you’ve been to the ocean?
