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.
I decided to make up a recipe today. Because my baking skills aren’t as amazing as I’d like (I’m certainly no pastry chef), I usually follow recipes rather diligently. But tonight, for some reason, I decided to wing it. I suppose I was inspired by the massive shipment I received the day before from NuNaturals. After they discovered my vegan cornbread recipe (that was perfectly sweet thanks to NuNaturals Stevia Baking Blend), they asked if they could share my recipe with other “foodie enthusiasts.” As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, they offered to send… Read more >

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my OpenSky shop! I have a ton more in the works, so I’ll keep you guys in the know. I had an accident with my froth this morning. Disregard the mess, it tasted awesome. Bride mag + apple = bridapple. Sounds like a horse food. Ah well. Lunch was a toasty sando with roasted red pepper hummus and greek yogurt-i-fied tofu “turkey” spread. I think I added too much greek yogurt 😕 because the “turkey” spread was a little overly oozy. I don’t think this sammie was… Read more >

Can you believe this weather? Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant. There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today. Brrr. I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty. The big boy on the left contained spinach, steamed zucchini, carrots, brocc, chopped celery, chickpeas, and dried cranz. Holy ingredients. The smaller side tupperware had delicata squash (I finally found it again! yes!!) with raisins. Do… Read more >

As I have mentioned before, my (future) in-laws are completely supportive and respectful of my vegan lifestyle. So much so, that they did research before we headed to Vancouver and had a perfect lunch spot all picked out. Gorilla Food is right near Waterfront (where the Olympic rings and torch is), so we took the Skytrain there and then walked the few blocks to the restaurant. Cute no? Despite the tree going through the ceiling, the atmosphere was cozy and the staff was really friendly (like the rest of the Canadians we encountered). The lady… Read more >
