broccoli slaw

oil…from the gland of an otter

Apparently I have to choose between saving for a wedding, and keeping up with the food blog fads.  So, in the interest of staying engaged, I’m unable to juice for breakfast.  No, not that kind of juice.  This kind. So I settled for the poor man’s version (aka a smoothie).  Into the blender went: 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup OJ, 3 oz POM, applesauce cup, frozen plain tofu cubes… and the juice of 1 orange (hand squeezed).  Nice before and after, no? The predominant color is the almond milk and plain tofu.  Good thing… Read more >

Thursday

I thought it was Friday all day…so confused.  Whatever, Thursday means The Office, so it’s all good. 5 AM.  Frothed me some coffee…and then I was off to work! Since I was running crazy late, I had this little baby on the way to work.  For the record, I do NOT enjoy eating on the subway, especially when I’m drenched from my rainy mad dash to the station.   As usual, I made my lunch the night before to bring to work, which included a hugh jass salad of spinach, brocc slaw, shredded carrots, cherry… Read more >

Working and grazing

(At the crack of AM) breakfast: Coffee.  Froth.  CranBran Vitatop.  Off to work. Snack:  Newman’s Own Organic Honey Wheat Pretzels I ate these all day long, and finished the whole bag myself.  Addicting, for sure.  I rarely buy pretz because of this very phenomenon.  I especially loved this honey wheat flavor, though, because it has the perfect combination of salty and sweet – way better than regular pretzels.  The huge salt crystals kinda ripped up the roof of my mouth though.  I think that’s my issue though, not Newman’s Own.  I swear I’ve gained 5… Read more >

Kelly Bensimon is effing crazy

I don’t think I need to explain the above title if you wasted your morning the same way I did tuned into the Real Housewives of NY.  I was up at the crack of dawn thanks to a text message from Jess at 6 am.  Awesome.  Payback’s a bitch Jess, so prepare yourself for a 2 am drunk dial from the west coast this weekend… Needless to say I was jonesing for some caffeine shortly after. I messed the froth up on this one, but that’s what happens when you are brewing in the dark… Read more >

I’ve got B.O. (beets and okra)

Don’t worry I’m a clean hippie.  Showers are me time.  But wait ‘til you see my lovely dinner…it’s packed with salad newbies.  But first things first.  I have no idea why, but I woke up WAY freakin’ early.  On a non-work day, WTF!?  Anyways, I had a frothy mug of joe to get things rolling…followed by a strawberry chobz with diced strawberries on top. Mmmm…look at all that greek yogurt goodness.  I also had an apple while reading blogs and watching last night’s Gossip Girl and The Hills killing some brain cells.   After I… Read more >
