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.
Friday’s dinner deserves it’s own post. I don’t think there are words nearly adequate enough to describe the night I had. Not only was the company delightful, but the meal – OMG – I could go on about it for hours (which I did, much to Kyle’s delight). Just looking at the pictures now, I am having flashbacks with a Pavlovian type response. Drool! I met up with the one and only Miss VeggieGirl on Friday night too excited for words…her pimpa$$ hotel was within walking distance of PURE so we ended up only moderately… Read more >

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple. Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick. Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come. Wha?! I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho. No bueno. I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too. Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >

Guess who’s turning 21 today!?!?! My baby sister, Marie!!! Somehow I am the shortest in my fam, even though I’m the oldest. Boo. I can’t believe she’s turning 21. She’ll always be 12 in my eyes. I can’t wait for her to visit NYC in August – we are going to celebrate in a MAYJ way! In case you were wondering (since I was just wishing happy birthday for my , yes, my sissie-poo and my popsicle do have back to back birthdays. Now, onto the food. Liquid AM. Slosh slosh. I used the above… Read more >

Work day = Packed lunch. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who brings lunch to work. I don’t get it!? There are a few things that baffle me about this, the first being the price of buying food on a daily basis. Sure, I can understand a treat once in a while, but every day? That adds up! Second, I don’t understand how people can leave their house without any preparation should they get hungry. I know I have a job unlike most other people. I don’t have the luxury of choosing when… Read more >

Yeah, creative juices are dried up for tonight. It’s been a long day, so I’m not even going to bother. You don’t care about the title anyways, right? Why does it seem like I’m 12 feet tall while taking this bird’s eye shot of my lunch? Look at all the glorious food: Berries GoMega odwalla bar, Cashew Cookie Larabar, hummus, salad of raw-ness, dried papayas & mangoes, home made raw trail mix (carob chips, almonds, cashews, and raisins), and don’t forget the apple! The stars the the show weren’t too shy for a close up…. Read more >
