The Sky’s the Limit

I have big news!  I know I was a bit of a tease with my previous posts (alluding to a surprise and then holding out on you is not my style, so I apologize), but you don’t have to wait a second longer for the big reveal…DRUMROLL PLEASE… I am now a shopkeeper with OpenSky, a site devoted to helping passionate people share their favorite products with the rest of the internet using world.  I have been working a long time on getting my shop perfect for it’s grand opening, and although I still have… Read more >

Dessert three times a day

Cough-E & a Caramel Apple Diggin’ the froth?  Do it!  Do the Stonyfield people know that their Oikos greek yogurt is borderline sinful when combined with apples?  Caramel apples for breakfast with NO guilt whatsoever?  Uh, that gets two thumbs up.  Now that’s a dessert that Gigi can start her day with, controversy free.  Maybe.  Lunch was so boring, I almost don’t want to show it.  Boca vegan burgers open faced on Vermont soft wheat bread with Tribe roasted red pepper hummus.  You can’t go wrong when combining bread and hummus, so as basic as this… Read more >

Greens entered my bod in the form of spinach, brocc, and peas.  The rest of the salad ingreds included adzuki beans, chickpeas, corn and dried cranz. Since Kyle has been a slave to the office, and I have hardly seen him over the last 72 hours, we decided a nice date night at Peacefood… Read more >

Tick Tock

Last day of work before I go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Today’s shift seemed like the longest countdown of my life.  I was actually pretty busy with my patient load, but I was still hyper-aware of the time left ‘til I was home freeeeeeeee. Here’s what I had packed up: I spy with my little eye…MORE pita chips (damn you Stacy), two freakishly large apples, a Chocolate Brownie Z bar, White Chocolate Macadamia Luna bar, Blueberry Crisp Clif bar, and a fiberrrrific MONSTA salad. Holy veggie-loading.  This salad contained: steamed kale, raw spinach, cukes, steamed carrots, cherry tomatoes,… Read more >
