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.
If you are wondering what a type A person looks like before a job interview, here you go: Prepping slash watching the seconds on the clock tick by. SO nervous. Keep your digits (all of ‘em) crossed for me. After an hour of selling myself offering to give up my first born child for the job, I noshed on a colorful bowl of strawberries and apples. It was still gloomy weather when noon arrived, so I felt like a warm comfort sammie. Tempeh fakin’ bacon. I bought this on a whim (and because it was… Read more >

Such a productive day! First and foremost, I set up a job interview (hooray!), so…yeah. There’s that. But in addition to my latest career progress, I tackled more things on my to-do list and ate some amazing meals. The night before bed I threw together a tupperware full of overnight oats. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I do like my oats raw. When I was young I ate Quaker’s packets with milk like cold cereal. I guess today’s overnight oats are just the more nutritious version… I wonder how long 2 1/2 pounds… Read more >

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework). Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am. I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything. But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30. 😡 6 hours of sleep? Meh. Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time. The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >

Cheater cheater pumpkin potato eater. Last week my cousin posted a recipe that looked both tasty and vegan-izable, so I starred it and saved it for a rainy day. Ok, a cloudy day…this is LA after all, not New York. Yesterday was that day…only I had very few of the ingredients on hand. No matter, I subbed like a pro and wound up with a totally different (but still very tasty) dish. It took very little time since I cheated every step of the way, but trust me, cutting corners never tasted so good. I… Read more >
