Yum! Eat!!

Wanna see how my Maui meals have been going…well, I have about 4.7% of my eats captured on film, so I’ll let you be the judge of that.   We eat at restaurants more often than not, so I am in serious need of a detox.  Processed foods have been in abundance, despite my best attempts to minimize them.  And even with mega planning ahead of time, vegan options tend to be poor at best.  One of the things I realized here is how unavoidable processed foods is.  Sad :(  Even with my organic-loving, health-conscious, family,… Read more >

raindrops on roses & whiskers on kittens

Now that’s it’s “summer” we have been sleeping with the bedroom windows open, but the thunder and lightning were so INSANE last night, I had to channel my inner Von Trapp and sing “My Favorite Things” to calm myself down…it was scary! It woke me up it was so loud.  And just so you know, normally I sleep like a rock, so this was no joke. Clearly I had a rough night’s sleep – enter coffee 🙂 These are a few of my favorite things… Peach chobz (not as good as blueberry) and a bowl… Read more >

Rain on my parade

I love summer Fridays because Kyle has half days…that said, it’s useless when the weather is this crappy. Nothing but gray skies and pitter patter all day long.  Boo hoo. Coffee – check! Kyle was a little noisy this morning, so I was up early (read: too early)…which is why coffee was froth-ified and breakfast was on the GRANDE side (as far as AM eating goes). I was craving fruit in a may-jerrrrrr way, so in addition to the plate heaped with pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, and grapes, I had a blueberry Chobz with raisins. Hit.the.spot…. Read more >

Raw Blah

I didn’t realize (raw) Wednesday had arrived (already?!) until I was making my lunch last night.  I guess that’s what happens when your schedule is completely random.  So this is what I packed to eat…but I wasn’t really feeling it. …so THIS is what I actually ate!   I heart this place.  There’s one in Union Square (easy walking distance from where I work).  My ravenous appetite was STILL in full force today, so I polished off the apple and odwalla bar by 9 am…meaning by the time I got off the unit for my… Read more >

Carb-o loading for fun

Froth-a-licious! It was a VERY berry morning.  Strawberry chobz + even more strawberries. These were the Arnold Schwarzenegger of strawberries.  They were SO huge, I think I only needed 4 to fill the bowl to the brim! See!!  Massive!  For lunch, I made a Philly NY cheese steak seitan wrap…yeahhhhh, my version has nada to do with the greasy, cheesy, meaty dish made famous by the city of brotherly love.  Oddly enough though, seitan with veggie slices kinda reminds me of the artery clogging sammie (as gross as that is to admit).  Fortunately, my wrap… Read more >
