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.
Are you ready for this? San Francisco to Portland…all 622 miles of it…and all the Starbucks’ in between. Ready? Set? Go! We left at 5 am and by 8:30 I was itching for some caffeine. I quickly referenced my above map for a super quick stop and we were back on the road in no time with two coffees on board. I missed a few signs while I was getting busy with my ‘Bucks. Pretty sure we were at least in the 300 range before it was time to stop for Starbucks numero dos. … Read more >
Garlic may not be my favorite thing in the world, but when it comes to making a marinade, I do enjoy a hint of it. And since the days of BBQ have peaked, these arrival of these Garlic Gold products couldn’t have been more timely. *Disclaimer: I did receive these products from the company to review. This is a side shot of the Garlic Gold Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette which we used as a marinade for the fish as well as the veggies. Check out those layers! So many glorious flavors in the oil mix. The… Read more >

This post is a few days old, but I was already so behind before heading off to Vegas for my bachelorette party that I was able to pre-schedule this post. I’ll be back from Sin City tomorrow. But don’t expect any posts from this weekend because (as we all know) what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas [and most DEFINITELY doesn’t end up on a blog]… Today, I had a trial run with my wedding hairdo. 😀 I can’t put up pics in the off chance that Kyle reads this post, but trust me, it… Read more >

Happy 4th everyone! I’m currently in Las Vegas for my bachelorette party. Keep me in your thoughts. If you want a real post, check out last year’s FOURTH of JULY post. I made an amazing black bean burger. This year, my only goal is survival.
Why oh why couldn’t I just sleep in? Sadly, I woke up before 8 am…making my total shut-eye time less than 7 hours. Far more than I used to get (back in my days of employment), but far fewer than I’ve been getting lately. My body was ready to go though, so whatever. After my first cup of coffee my mom had to go to the hospital. It was kinda last minute and she wasn’t able to drive herself, so I made another cup of java to-go and we were off. She’s ok, don’t worry,… Read more >
