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.
These past few days have been a bit busy for me…among other things, I’ve been prepping for my follow-up job interview (which is tomorrow – eek!). Coffee for four. All for me 🙂 I have been cooking, too, but as you can see, blogging has taken the back burner. Also, I’ve been having a string of bottomless pit days. I’m sure you’re familiar. You know the days when you’re stomach just won’t quit. Which is all well and good, except that it leaves me with 482 photos to post. Ugh. I may as well dive… Read more >

Monday had very little going on for me. My bicycle (which was getting new gear switcher thingies) was finally done and ready for pick up, but aside from that I did little else worth mentioning. I started the day with another carob coffee concoction. This time I added a tsp of carob powder to the milk during the frothing process. Turned out pretty well. Later on I had a big bowl of fruit, including two apples and some strawberries with cinnamon on top. I reread Skinny Bitch on Sunday night and it reminded me of… Read more >

My previous post left off on Saturday evening…so let me just pick right back up with dinner. My goal is to eventually taste my way through every restaurant at Santa Monica Place, so we made a reservation at Sonoma wine garden to start our last night out in style. My previous experience with Santa Monica Place’s dining deck was stellar, so I had high expectations for this meal. We started with some rather pricey drinks. They were good, but a bit steep given the sub-par size of the pour. The amount of wine in our… Read more >

My sister came to visit this weekend so Kyle and I did our best to show off Santa Monica in all it’s glory. The weather wasn’t cooperating, but despite the misty cloud cover, it was a weekend packed with fun. Friday morning we hiked to Inspiration Point in Will Roger’s State Park. By the time we got back it was lunch time and Huckleberry was calling our names. Laura has heard me rave about Huckleberry so many times, it was an obvious choice for lunch. First we split the white bean dip with a slice… Read more >
