Just add peanut butter

I had probably THE worst night last night.  “Que paso” you ask?  Well, the abbreviated version goes something like this: boy catches cold, cold causes hideous symptoms, symptoms keep girl up all night, girl sleeps on couch.  Boo.  I stumbled back into the bedroom after Kyle left for work, and (fortunately) managed to fall back asleep.  Unfortunately, I unknowingly turned off my alarm somewhere in the bed-to-couch-to-bed process.  I woke up just before noon, very confused, and very annoyed.  I immediately got to work on a very frothy cup of coffee and a very cinnamon-y… Read more >

Food (with a side of drama)

Hey HEY Hey!  Long time no see… I know, my bad.  I didn’t mean to leave you high and dry, but sometimes I get soopah stressed.  When that happens, unfortunately, the blog is the first to take a seat on the sidelines… It all started to pile up last weekend.  There were actually a few different factors contributing to this, but I will only get to part of that now. I was really busy and unable to get my gym time in, which doesn’t matter when it’s one day, but after a few I start… Read more >

Clean Food to recoup

I called in sick today.  :(  I couldn’t help but feel that I would be doing more harm than good for my patients.  Healing hands?  Not so much.  So, rather than pass on my germies, I opted to keep my infectiousness to myself.  Hoarder!   You know I’m feeling bad when I bring out this bad boy.  My entire fist fits in this mug, I LOVE it :D  Half coffee, half leche, half froth.  Yes, the mug was SO big, the laws of mathematics didn’t even apply – it fit 3/2 in it.  Notice the… Read more >

White UN-cheese sauce

I’m gonna gloss over my AM eats because they weren’t too interesting. If I were on Top Chef I’d call it a de-constructed smoothie, but I’m not, so for blog purposes it’s simply frozen nanner slices in a Blueberry Chobz.  Told you I like bananas Jess! Lunch was a fantastic plate of yum.  On a bed of fancy shmancy lettuce and broccoli slaw, I added my WF baked tofu leftovers, baby carrots, and a few blobs of tofummus. I was feelin’ the ‘fu BIG TIME.  Mmmm… Perfectly protein packed.  I’m already on my second batch… Read more >

Sabra Sunday

As you all know by now, Sabra courses through my veins like no other.  So you can imagine how excited I was last week to find out that THIS was going down on Sunday.  Sabra “transformed” Union Square into a Mediterranean Cafe…with samples upon samples upon samples of hummus!  Are you there God, it’s me Elise hummus queen?  K, if this isn’t reason enough to visit, I don’t think there’s anything more I can offer you? Here I am with one of my 6 free samples of classic hummus and Stacy’s pita chips.  They also… Read more >
