About Elise
I’m a nurse. An exercise lover. A whole foods connoisseur. A health enthusiast. And I have IBS. No need to cue the sappy violin music yet...
I’ve found that eating a mostly plant-based diet has allowed me to continue to live and love life to the fullest. Although moderation isn’t something I do well, I’m 100% devoted to giving my body pure, wholesome, quality food. Nutritious and delicious, all the time.
Hungry Hungry Hippie is a way for me to share my daily dealings with food, fitness, and everything in between.
When I get behind in blogging, I tend to get overwhelmed and as a result meals fall into the undocumented abyss. Sometimes I’m able to catch up, but sometimes I have to simply cut my losses and move on. I never want emptying my camera to feel like a chore, so I apologize. To the yummy food that misses it’s moment in the spotlight – I’m sorry. To you all for neglecting to share some mighty fine meals – I’m sorry. Alas, such is life. Forward we go! This weekend is already busy and it’s… Read more >

I really love seitan and because it’s so simple to make I really have no excuse for not doing so more often. I spend so much cashola on the prepared kinds at Whole Foods. That’s not okay. Especially because I just dropped a thou$and smackers on flights to Spain and Paris (and there may be some car damage repairs in my poor little Civic’s future, too). Contrary to what soon-to-be-revealed purchases may imply, I am not a baller, nor am I made of money. Kyle and I are living on a single income, so it’s… Read more >

My second night shift came and went without incident. It was pretty much a dream 12 hours. I staggered my way to the parking garage and arrived home just before 8 am to pass the car off to my better half (as in, the half that doesn’t crash the car). Oh, did I not mention my little accident? Twitter followers may have read the news, but for those who aren’t in the loop, I suck at driving. Don’t worry, I’m being slightly dramatic (I’m fine). The passenger side door, on the other hand, wasn’t so… Read more >

That would be the night shift. Oy. Why do they all go crazy when the sun sets? Why?!? That’s my attempt at taking a picture of the full moon. Mighty fine camera skills right thurr. As ridiculous as last night was (and trust me, it was plenty ridiculous), I made it home in one piece to curl up on the couch with a new Gossip Girl episode (finally!). And whatdoyouknow, this post seems to be making semi-sense, too (thus far…). Compared to Amy Winehouse, I have my sh!t together. Yesterday started the same as any… Read more >

Is it just me, or does my coffee froth look like a person running? I could be going crazy. It’s entirely possible. It’s actually the more likely scenario. Still, I couldn’t help but feel like my morning coffee was sending me subliminal messages. I ignored them and went for a bike ride instead. It was AWESOME. Before hitting the road, I had a bowl of oats with a chopped apple. Don’t be deceived by the above photo, though. This batch of oats was anything but average. I bulked up the 1/2 cup rolled oats with… Read more >
