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.
First things first, the randomly chosen Zevia giveaway winner is… #59 – Danielle When we were little kids, my cousin and I used to think it was hysterical to put fake ice cubes (the ones with the spiders inside) in people’s glasses of soda! Thanks for the giveaway – I’d love to try Zevia! Congrats Danielle! Email me your address and I’ll get the soda sent to you asap! I have another great giveaway tomorrow too (or maybe tonight if I can get my act together), so if you didn’t hit the jackpot this time, there’s… Read more >

This weekend was a reminder of why Kyle and I moved back to the West Coast. No offense NYC, but when it comes to the weather and the social scene, California is where the party’s at! I may be well out of college, but that doesn’t mean I’m an old fart (yet). This weekend I was drawn to keg parties and tailgates like a moth to a flame. I don’t mind a seedy bar once in a while either. But before I get to the brew-fueled festivities, let me back up to Friday. You like… Read more >

Soda doesn’t have to be unhealthy. It doesn’t have to contain aspartame. It doesn’t have to contain corn syrup. In fact, it can be calorie free, sweetened with the plant-based wonder ingredient (stevia), and STILL resemble your favorite pop. I’m no stranger to Zevia. They hooked me up with their goods in the past, and now they are willing to do the same for YOU, my loyal readers. My personal fave is Dr. Zevia, which takes my taste buds back to my college days nights of DDP fueled all-nighters. While coffee provided (and still provides)… Read more >

You guys are so sweet. I was simply floored by the response to my wedding post – your comments were overwhelmingly kind. I felt like the luckiest girl on the planet that day, so I guess it came through in the photos. I’ll try and get the second half of the big day posted soon, but I don’t have pictures of the food yet (I didn’t bring my camera to the wedding – the horror!!). Don’t worry, I made sure the photographer captured my meal on film (I am a food blogger after all). So… Read more >

On August 28th, 2010, I went from a Ms. to a Mrs. It was the best day of my life. I wish I could share each and every moment with you all. Hell, I wish I could relive the entire weekend myself (it went by so fast!). There were so many intimate moments that weren’t captured on film that I will have to imprint in my mind forever. There were several times that I had to stop and remind myself that THIS. WAS. IT. This was the moment I had been planning for the past… Read more >
