B is for…

Blueberries?  Banana?  Bruno?  Blogging?  Take your pick. My java was full of frothy love – I hearted it (literally).  Even though I woke up at 7:30, I remained one with the sheets until 9, which meant that I was a hungry hungry hippie when I finally got up. Not the kind of breakfast I usually go for, but my tums was grrrrrowling, so I knew it needed to have some staying power.  This beautiful bowl included cinnamon-raisin-almond granola, fresh blueberries, and frozen banana slices.  I love the way milk coats frozen fruit and makes a… Read more >

Happy-ending salad

I’m in a sassy little mood, hence the non-PG title.  You’ll see what I am referring to with today’s dinner…(I hope?) But first, I’m going to rewind to Sunday night.  Because of the ree-dik bus ride back from Atlantic City, I was too lazy upload photos…so sorry for the delay…I know you all were on edge waiting for me to reveal the night’s eats, right?  Well, don’t get too excited, I had a pretty lame-a$$ meal. On the left: broccoli salad, shredded carrot, and tofu scramble.  On the right: steamed veggies with avocado.  ZOOM you… Read more >

NuNaturals NuStevia NuNeighborhoods

A few days ago, this lovely package arrived from NuNaturals, so I was thrilled to have a massive fake sugar free NuStevia filled cuppa-joe.  As usual, I brewed and frothed… Then, I added 3 drops of Vanilla Stevia to the Caffe Froth, and 1 packet of NuStevia white powder to the coffee.  Perfection.  No bitter after-taste.  Not too… Read more >

Wacked out day

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple.  Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick.  Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come.  Wha?!  I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho.  No bueno.  I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too.  Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >
