Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Choc & Nut spread. This is a vegan version of Nutella. I first came upon this French company at Expo West and after one bite I was hooked. It tastes heavenly – chocolate & hazelnut in a creamy smooth buttery spread. I found it at my local Co-Op and it’s not cheap. $10 for… Read more >

I probably make or pack Kyle’s lunches 75% of the time. He only eats on campus a few days a week and every once in a while it aligns with my work days. Which means… I can pack both of our food the night before and kill two birds with one stone. His differ in that they often have cheese and packaged health bars, but otherwise they are very similar. I made his salad with spinach, tomatoes, falafel, sunflower seeds, and parmesan. While mine had quinoa instead of cheese. My breakfast… Read more >

And no play makes Elise a repetitive eater. Rather than subject you all to the same exact meal (times twenty), I’ll show my hippie bowl once and move on to my work food. Quinoa, carrots, spinach, seitan, avocado, nutritional yeast, Bragg’s aminos. After a few bad days, where I was carelessly eating wheat and agave (FODMAPs no-no) like it was going out of style, I knew I needed to get my GI tract back on track. Feeling bloated (and a bunch of other less-internet friendly terms) is the worst. So! I did what I know… Read more >

Last morning in Philly! Rather than trek into Center City again, we stayed in our ‘hood for breakfast. Even though they are right next to each other, I’m not very familiar with either Penn or Drexel’s campus. Because I was in the accelerated nursing program at Drexel I spent nearly all of my time in Center City. The only occasion I had to go over to the main part of campus where the university buildings and lecture halls are was for finals (HESI exams). Blah. But I did pass through campus on my way to… Read more >

For no intentional reason, I’ve broken away from oats this past week. Brown rice + bananas + blueberries + no-grain-ola + almond milk. Not that you need a play-by-play, but here’s the deal. I made a massive amount of brown rice (in the rice cooker), but day old rice needs a little moisture. So I re-heated it in the microwave with almond milk. Then I added some frozen bloobs, which quickly thawed once they met the warm rice. Plus bananas. And finally, I topped it off with a bunch of nutty granola…. Read more >
