falafel

My neck AND my back

Remember that horribly inappropriate song??  Well, today I had an appt with an Osteopaedic MD who specializes in the spine.  I’ll get into the deets later, but rest assured, I’ll be making some changes so I don’t end up looking like this by my 30th birthday.   I started the day with coffee. Doesn’t that beautiful foam make you wanna dive right into it?  Flowers for Algernon is my latest read, btw, although my wait to see the MD was so short I didn’t even need it!  NYU Joint Disease knows how to treat their… Read more >

Dave’s Killer Bread

I almost titled this post “my love affair with Dave,” but something tells me that if this were the one post title Kyle did choose to read, he wouldn’t be so amused. That said, I am, in fact, in love. Just say no to bread on drugs!  Please take note of the seedy goodness.  I took several glamour shots, so bear with me (and if you’re curious, yes, it tasted just as good, if not better, than it photographed).  And just what do you suppose I chose to accompany this lovely carb?  That, should be… Read more >

Hummus heritage

Even though I’m predominantly Irish and German, I can’t help but wonder if there is a long lost Mediterranean family member.  How else do you explain the POUNDS of hummus I consume on a daily basis?? (…not to mention my love affairs with falafel, beans, and fresh veg salads…) Does your heritage creep it’s way into your diet?  Or do you have love for foreign flavors? Even though part of my family is Japanese (not by blood), white rice was never really something I got into…although it did make for some very tasty (albeit unconventional)… Read more >

[Insert witty title here]

Yeah, creative juices are dried up for tonight.  It’s been a long day, so I’m not even going to bother.  You don’t care about the title anyways, right? Why does it seem like I’m 12 feet tall while taking this bird’s eye shot of my lunch?  Look at all the glorious food: Berries GoMega odwalla bar, Cashew Cookie Larabar, hummus, salad of raw-ness, dried papayas & mangoes, home made raw trail mix (carob chips, almonds, cashews, and raisins), and don’t forget the apple! The stars the the show weren’t too shy for a close up…. Read more >

chickpea cookies

Are you scared of the title?  Haha…don’t worry, I haven’t gone quite that hummus crazy (yet!). But I did bake a batch of falafel today, which looked pretty damn similar to (how I would picture) chickpea pastries.  But before I went to town in the kitch, I got my breks-face on. Coffee.  Froth.  Bluebeezies.  Chobani. I heart my antioxidants and Chobz knows how to do it right.  The store has been running on empty in the greek yogurt department, so I finally was able to re-stock.  I actually went to the grocery store at 9… Read more >
