I have been a slacker! Rather than let these photos cause my 900th computer crash fall by the wayside, how about we play a quick little game of catch (up)? Last week, vital wheat gluten met my bestie, the chickpea. I went with the tried and true (recipe from V’con) for chickpea seitan cutlets. Can cookbooks win Pulitzers? So simple, so genius. I barely let them cool before taste testing them out on a piece of bread (and subsequently losing a layer of skin on the roof of my mouth). Yum yum. The magic bullet… Read more >

My oh my! You kids certainly know how to make a girl blush. Thanks so much for all the flattering and totally unsolicited slightly invited compliments about my race – kidding!! 😉 I really enjoyed writing about the emotional side of this race. Often times, it seems like the physical side of racing gets the spotlight, and I thought the mental aspect should take the forefront for a change. For me, this is actually the more difficult part of running long distances, and something I am still working on (as evidenced by yesterday’s struggles). Anyways. After… Read more >

I have been putting EVERY effort into helping my body heal, so after several consecutive days of working, I was really looking forward to sleeping in and skipping the gym.

My toast with Smart Balance light (it’s vegan, yo) didn’t hold me over very long, so an hour later I opted for a bowl of granola to supplement my brekkie (and a super overflowing cup of… Read more >

I hereby dedicate this post to everyone who has de-lurked lately. I LOVE hearing from you all, and it makes me so happy to know that you get ideas from my blog. That said, several peeps have been asking for tips on packing lunches. Well, I aim to please, so here’s a post packed with some of my latest eats that I have brought to work. Lord knows, it’s hard to prep for 12 hour shifts, especially when you have no clue when (or IF) you will get breaks to eat. So, I do rely… Read more >

What’s with the latest crazies? Kanye? Serena? Lady Gaga? (Although at least her kind of crazy is not malicious). Medications people, stick to the MD recommended schedule. Froth. Mmmm. I haven’t been noshing on very many blog-worthy eats lately, so here’s a recap of some past products I have tried (some adored). Dessert HUMMUS!?! Yes, friends, yes, I did. The Original Crazy Camel Dessert Hummus has struck gold with this delish treat. In the words of my Brookie boo Y.B. With apples – yum. With Dave’s Killer Bread – yummer. Straight up with a spoon… Read more >
