Homeward bound

I got a car at 4 am to Newark airport.  Nothing like being awake when it’s still pitch black out.  Btw, my ride to the airport cost $87!!!  Normally, I’m a public transportation girl all the way, but I called a car the night before (since it was so early and I wasn’t about to try to hail a cab to take me to New Jersey at the godly hour I was awake)…they could pave the road in gold charging fees like that!!  I’m still in shock. I brought these Raw Revolution samples on the… Read more >

those mines aren’t going to sweep themselves

Oh sweet Sabado!!!  I love weekends! Coffee + crossword = life is good.  Did I mention my BOYFRIEND is coming home today.  China has had him far too long.  I broke the fast with PB puffins… What a heavenly bowl of cereal. In keeping with the nut-butter theme… I had a heaping spoonful of soynut butter with some apple slices. Food porn. Since yesterday’s was so good… Fresh melon + frozen grapes + soy yogurt I even added in a splash of POM 🙂 Later I had a GN (Gary Null’s) veggie burger with hummus. … Read more >

Vermont weekender

Hi bloggies!!  I’m BACK in the big apple now, after a SUPER fun weekend in Vermont.  It’s so nice to get out of the craziness that is NYC every once in a while – and the ‘burbs of Vermont were just the place to relax and unwind.  It’s so small town. So, back tracking a bit to Friday…Kyle’s boss generously let us use his cabin (which sleeps 13) so we decided to head up to Vermont for the weekend for a fun little skiing getaway with another couple.  Hooray! SO FUN!  But, very very cold…. Read more >

Mex-Tex

Another travel filled day (Mexico to Texas to New York).  Sadly, I had to leave the warm, beautiful weather in Mexico (the fun had to end sometime).  Even though I’m definitely NOT looking forward to returning to the icy New York climate, I AM ready for the rest of what Manhattan offers (namely the food).  Sure, vacation was great, but 4 days was long enough.  I never thought I’d say this, but I’m so sick of chips and salsa…That’s the thing about Mexico, there’s not much variety when dining.  It’s weird how spoiled you can… Read more >

What goes with hummus?

Answer: everything!  (duh!!) Honestly, what doesn’t go with hummus?!?!  I L-O-V-E sabra (so clearly I had a ton of hummus with dinner)!  I should start a Sabra fan club or something… Quite the plate of goodies: GC tofu, sweet potatoes, and a ww heel of bread – all topped with creamy, savory, classic hummus Ummm, how AMAZING does this bite look?  A chunk of tofu and a sweet potato circle held together with a dollop of hummus, HOLY YUM!! I wasn’t full, though, so I decided to try a new vegan product.  Chik’n strip “meal… Read more >
