A day late

…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 >

Sweet tooth cravings

This weather is truly fantastic, I’m so glad I don’t work again for a few days.  Thursday was a pretty exciting work day thanks to my patient with blood glucose levels vacillating between 480 and 37.  The twelve hours flew by so quickly I hardly found time to eat everything I packed.   Kinda in love with these organic dried mangos.  I used to snack on them all the time, but then I forgot about them.  My sweet tooth is very much into dried fruit, and even though the mango looks like raw cattle hide,… Read more >

Some like it cool

Let’s play Russian pantry roulette, shall we? What do you do with the above ingredients?  Here’s my general rule of thumb: when in doubt, add more carbs! Millet to the rescue (bulk bin grains are dirt cheap after all). I chopped all the (above) veggies, including celery, carrots, water chestnuts, and raw white corn.  Once the millet cooled, I tossed in some dried cranberries and raw pepitas. Then I added in the crunch factor (aka the raw veggies). Millet and quinoa are two grains I prefer cool.  I don’t know about many others, but I’m… Read more >

Adios NYSC, Hola DVDs

Today was a good day for your truly.  And it will be for you too, since there’s a giveaway involved (read on).  I have nothing very interesting to report.  I started a new book, watched mindless t.v. shows, did Jillian’s shred (level 1), and then made it to the gym for my last workout at NYSC.  I also did some eating. The single serving Silk vanilla soymilk was a freebie from the 1/2 marathon.  Honestly, the goody-bags you get at races is such a fun perk. I also made pumpkin/carob chip toast (and only took… Read more >

Full day

Full of errands, full of food, full of activity, full of sun, full of living.  How else would I start the day?  Alongside the apple was a new green monster blend.  I double fisted it with the spinach, which is why it turned out such a pretty color.  The other ingreds included a whole frozen banana, 1/4 block silken tofu, ice, ice and more ice. It looked neon in person, but isn’t quite as bright in the photo.  Ah well, just take my word for it – ‘twas muy verde.  After getting errands done around… Read more >
