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.
Have I mentioned that Kyle and I are ballers? Haha. Riiiight. But we certainly tried to act the part this weekend with a dinner at Le Barnardin. Oh hey there magic bullet chillin’ in the background. Whatever, once I stepped into my stilettos, I felt gla-gla-glamorous… And so off we went to Eric Ripert’s three Michelin star restaurant. The night started with some drank at the bar, along with parm/pistachio bread sticks. Upon being seated we dove into the (extensive) wine list and chose a Pinot from Oregon. Um, how classy is this stool for… Read more >

Wow, I’m behind in posting! Sadly, I was busy with boring things, so my catch up posting isn’t going to be all that thrilling…or thorough. I worked…and you know what that means…eating out of tupperware! Unfortunately, the above eats were not representative of what I actually consumed because I was floated to the ICU (no time for snacking) and my tum was acting up (no desire for roughage). What I really ate was the salad, pretz with hummus, and the nutty/carob-y mix (basically I skipped the carrots and apples). There was also a fresh sourdough… Read more >

For the freakin’ LIFE of me I couldn’t make it out of bed this morning. By 10 am I just resigned to a morning in bed (why fight it). I made coffee and snuggled back in my covers with a crossword, mug of frothy joe, and some trashy tv. How’s that for a perfect morning? Hump day much. Around noon I dragged myself to the living room for some apples and computer time. Since it was gorgeous outside and I wasn’t hungry for lunch I made my way outside, for a walk around the neighb. … Read more >

Reminder: BYOM (bring your own mug, that is) to Starbucks on April 15th for a free java I love that Starbucks is doing their part to make a difference…I mean, I already adore the ‘bucks for their delicious liquid crack, but The Green Project has put them on a whole other level in my book. Hippie approved 🙂 But back to Tuesday… Weather-wise, it was only moderately spring-y, but I’ll take overcast and warmish over 40 degrees any day. Brunch was colorful perfection. Fruity much? Today’s smoothie was loaded with POM, frozen mixed berries, frozen… Read more >

After the long work weekend, I was looking forward to sleeping in on Monday, but my internal clock didn’t get the memo. Instead I embraced it and got to work on my day’s tasks. After coffee #3, I turned to some grub. Protein pancakes are all the rage right now…and I had to see what all the fuss was about. I’m not sure where this trend actually started, I seem to see them multiple times a day on various blogs, so to whoever coined the recipe first, I tip my hat to you. The stats… Read more >
