Hi, my name is Elise and I’m lactose intolerant. If you so desire, you can read all about my GI issues here, but dairy has been out of my life for over a decade, with one (infrequent) exception. Greek yogurt. To be honest, it’s not a food I eat very often anymore. I used to have it every so often, but then it just kinda fell off my radar. Anyway, the reason Greek yogurt never officially got the boot from my dairy-free diet was because my stomach never seemed to take issue with it. My… Read more >

And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right? 🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever! I think it’s cliché either way you look at it. Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF. This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

…and a dollar letter short. I’ll be back with the alphebruary eats later (g and h happened but my energy needs to be higher to share the deets). Work eats, however, don’t call for much brain power. I’m not saying they were mindlessly dull…but I kinda am ;) Kidding! [But they were VERY similar] I’ve been on a fruity tooty kick lately. Starting the day with water, Jillian, coffee, coffee, and fruit, fruit, fruit. Because it’s sunny and I’m downing fresh strawberries and blueberries constantly, I feel like next week should be the 4th of… Read more >

Yes, I ate more than my arame-zing salad yesterday. I had breakfast (Alvarado Street sprouted bread with peanut butter, banana slices, and cinnamon). Lunch (wrap). And dinner. My latest batch of log seitan was in both lunch and dinner. I used this same recipe/method but kneaded it longer, which made for a much denser log. The lunch wrap had Alvarado Street sprouted tortilla, spinach, seitan, and a delicious avocado/hummus spread. One (whole) avocado + one (huge) scoop of roasted red pepper hummus One squeeze of lime juice + one dash of paprika I spread some… Read more >

This weekend was not my finest in terms of scheduling. With back to back night shifts, day time yoga classes, and the desire to squeeze in a run when the sun came out from hiding, there was hardly any time for sleeping. Ambitious? Or ridiculous? Either way, I snacked much more than I composed real meals because my body was so out of whack with all the time adjustments. Awake all night, asleep all morning, awake all afternoon…sometimes it’s just too confusing for my poor GI system. I wound up finding a solution in… Read more >
