This is an attempt at a “what I ate” full day of food. I think I got everything. Cantaloupe. With this, I get credit for vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, folic acid, & B vitamins…it satisfies both a fruit and leafy green requirement as per What To Expect. Efficiency in my nutrition – I like it! For breakfast we were out of iced tea AND eggs. Basically a mini disaster. I made decaf tea in as little water as possible and cooled it down to room temp with a ton of almond milk. It… Read more >

I’m sure at least a few of you saw that video way back when right? It’s now the anthem I sing in my head anytime I go to yoga. Normal? Nah. [Side note: Kyle wants to meet DJ Dave in a huge way…and since he’s clearly a Santa Monica resident, I think it’s only a matter of time…I just hope I’m not with him when it happens] I started the day with a non-cereal version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Aka toast with Earth Balance and sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Lovely. Since yoga was… Read more >

I recently discovered this oh SO Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer. I am cray cray in love with it, and since I now add it to my java on the daily, I felt the need to shout it from the rooftop post about it, too. No soy, no dairy, no fat, just pure vegan yumminess with french vanilla flavoring to boot. FYI, I usually flavor my coffee with NuNatural’s vanilla extract, but since my stash is nearly gone, this discovery couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. This morning I slept (wayyyy) in, but eventually… Read more >

I have literally been living at the office hospital. And yet, somehow I have managed to churn out heaps of produce in the few hours I have been home. Seriously, our apartment is where produce comes to die (death by baking anyone?). Wanna see a few of my success stories (if you said no…well…tough sh!t). 😉 FINALLY!! (I think kale chips have been on my to-make list for a year now). It’s about damn time, Elise. Massaged with cooking spray, nooch, and salt (like, a LOT of salt), then baked at 350 for 10-15 minutes. … Read more >

What a short lived break. Having only one day off of work was such a tease. So back to the hospital I went. The usual crew of lunchables: salad with a lot of greenery, roasted carrots with cranz, Spiced Pumpkin Pie Clif bar (why does this have to be seasonal, it’s SO good), PB cookie Larabar (best flavor, definitely, best flavor), TWO apples (not baby horse ones, these are the big bad boys), dried pineapple and pears. Foggy bag much? By the way, I’m completely obsessed with roasting carrots into fries. I could easily go… Read more >
