I don’t think I need to explain the above title if you wasted your morning the same way I did tuned into the Real Housewives of NY.  I was up at the crack of dawn thanks to a text message from Jess at 6 am.  Awesome.  Payback’s a bitch Jess, so prepare yourself for a [...]

Don’t worry I’m a clean hippie.  Showers are me time.  But wait ‘til you see my lovely dinner…it’s packed with salad newbies.  But first things first.  I have no idea why, but I woke up WAY freakin’ early.  On a non-work day, WTF!?  Anyways, I had a frothy mug of joe to get things rolling…followed [...]

Rise and shine!  It’s coffee time.    I wasn’t as sore today as I thought I’d be…in fact, aside from my hammies and glutes I was feeling pretty great.  I still decided to milk it (why not), so I scheduled a post-race massage for this evening.  I broke the fast with a peach chobz, an [...]

Sunday may as well have been re-named half marathon day.  It’s all I’ve been thinking about for the past month.  I could hardly sleep last night my nerves were going berserk.  Even though I consider myself a runner, and I exercise regularly, training for a concrete event (13+ miles no less) is very different than [...]

Of torture!!!! But I am proud to say I completed my first half marathon (!!)…and I’m still alive to tell you all about it!! My final time (according to my iPod stopwatch) was 1:43:27 Not too bad considering my goal was to finish not come in last.  I actually kinda kicked some ass.

how nutty

Posted in Alvarado Street bread, Ezekiel muffins, big salad, carob covered raisins, chickpeas, dates, dried mixed fruit, dried papaya, dried pineapple, hummus, nutmilk, peanut butter, seitan on April 26, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction.  Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing.  I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community.  But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) [...]

Shocker of all shockers…I actually had work today, I know, I know, you all forgot I even HAD a job because I’ve had so many consecutive days off… Naturally I packed all my goodies the night before in my re-re-recycled containers (once a hippie, always a hippie). But wait, let’s rewind to the day before [...]

Overdose alert!!  I kinda went crazy with the naranjas today (fyi that’s oranges in Spanish).  So now that I’ve fulfilled Elise’s daily cultural lesson for all you non-espanol-ers out there, I’ll continue on with today’s post.  Gringo, much?   I made this one with soymilk, but I am SO excited to go shopping today for [...]

Earth Day!

Posted in Alvarado Street bread, bbq tofu, big salad, egg scramble, greek yogurt, hummus, plain tofu, spinach salad, vegan cake on April 23, 2009 | 19 Comments »

Happy Earth Day!!  Did everyone do something nice and green today?  I contacted my hospital’s big-wigs to beg ask about an initiative promoting biking to work (and requesting to get a small protected room to store the staff hippies’ bikes).  C’mon Beth Israel, get green!!  This is something I have been trying to get going [...]
