Is there anything better than a warm mug of chai tea with almond milk? If so, I’d love to try it. Chai infused breakfasts oats are a start. And Chai cookies are in my future. But for now, I’m going to delight in the simplicity of this tea. Work food. Oatmeal with ground flax seeds, blueberries and vanilla almond milk. Fried millet with veggie and hard boiled egg. Carrots, banana, candied ginger as snacks. Not my usual haul because this was for an 8 hour day, not the full 12. Luckily we were done with… Read more >

I have been completely lagging in showing off my work eats. Packing up my food for the hospital is an art form, but it’s one I’ve perfected. Blogging about them, however, takes more time and I’m always exhausted when I get home from 12+ hours on my feet. And of course, there was the unexpected drive down to Newport Beach this weekend…so I’m definitely behind. Not to throw excuses at you, I’m just saying, I have weeks of hospital food stored up. How excited are you!? Ha! Here what’s to follow: on-the-go meals that are… Read more >

Prepping for the “elimination phase” of the FODMAPS diet was a bit daunting at first. I found myself looking up individual foods constantly to see what their chemical structure was (and if they contained FODMAPS). But once I started to get the hang of it, I came up with lots of meal ideas. My meals will continue to be plant-based, but I want to try and make this as helpful as possible for all my fellow IBSers, so please note, the starred (*) items are for those who aren’t vegan.

Where did I leave off…oh right, lunch at Caravan of Dreams. We took our time strolling around the East Village before we found our way back uptown. We took Rusty for one last walk before leaving to check into our hotel. Jess arrived home right as we got back, so we got to hang out a bit while we packed up. Schlepping our bags on the subway was as fun as you’d expect. And since it was 9/11 we were being watched hard core. But eventually we got to The Roosevelt. We were originally… Read more >

What a day. Full of a bizarre mix of emotions. I’m not sure I can totally put it into words, so for now I’ll just stick to the photos. Well, what do we have here? My last work lunch for a while included a big salad with a side of carrots and Livin’ Spoonful raw crackers, along with 2 apples, a vegan oatmeal raisin cookie from Candle, and a tupp ‘o zuppa. This was the other half of Amy’s Southwestern Veg soup bulked up with extra frozen veggies (corn and broccoli). As for the cookie, well,… Read more >
