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.

PC Recovery

Houston? This is not a test.  Repeat, this is not a test.  This post is actually from MY computer (not Kyle’s).  Oh, Live Writer, how I’ve missed you!!! I think I may have gotten my computer back to normal!!

i heart fabio

WHAT am I going to do now that Top Chef is over? I miss Padma and Tom already 🙁 To answer a few questions I got last post about my sushi skillz: I do have a sushi making kit that I got from Kyle a few years ago. It was a surprise anniversary present (I swear, I have THE most thoughtful BF). Since we lived in San Francisco at the time, we got tons of fresh stuff at the market in the Ferry Building (on of my fave places) and then we got even more… Read more >

You should be, it was bomb.com My coconut date rolls look like a reverse AT&T ad (or whatever company it is that does the “more bars in more places” ad) – that’s what she said! For lunch… Read more >

the cutest kettle

Happy Square Root Day!! 3/3/09 (nerd alert) I’m a very alpha-numeric/visual person. I won’t go into the full details, but let’s just say, I have real issues (OCD) with clocks (i.e. setting my alarm at a different time each day, doing gym exercises in round numbers, etc.)Is anyone else unable to stop a workout on the elliptical/treadmill until you reach round numbers? Seriously, I would NEVER stop at 58:27 minutes, or 5.38 miles. Never. Is that weird? Cafe.English muffin dripping with Earth Balance. Figs. Vanilla o’soy yogurt, to which I added POM. Someone should market… Read more >

march, china, pajama party

March is here. In honor of that: Out with the old, in with the new… No more gold coast blend (you will not be missed). House blend, welcome home, I love you! So far March SUCKS. I can’t believe it’s STILL snowing! Grrr. 8-10 inches in one day is too much? (that’s what she said) But, seriously, I’m really annoyed with the East Coast. To make matters worse, my parents are in Hawaii for, like, the 9th time this year, and keep texting me pics of gorgeous sunsets and luaus. Ugh. Ok, I’ll stop the… Read more >
