Gleeful day off

Reminder: BYOM (bring your own mug, that is) to Starbucks on April 15th for a free java I love that Starbucks is doing their part to make a difference…I mean, I already adore the ‘bucks for their delicious liquid crack, but The Green Project has put them on a whole other level in my book.  Hippie approved 🙂 But back to Tuesday… Weather-wise, it was only moderately spring-y, but I’ll take overcast and warmish over 40 degrees any day. Brunch was colorful perfection.  Fruity much? Today’s smoothie was loaded with POM, frozen mixed berries, frozen… Read more >

From 7:45 pm onwards

Another sunny day 🙂 I think spring might be here to stay, yes? My camera spazzed out, and the photo evidence of my work eats are nowhere to be found.  So all I have is dinner and dessert for ya.  Ok?  Here’s the day starting at 7:45 pm (give or take a few minutes). With the new season, comes a new chapter in Terry Walters’ cookbook.  I love Clean Food.  It’s my go-to book for ideas.  They are simple but delicious.  After the hummus heavy day I had, I definitely wanted a lighter dinner…and the… Read more >

Goodbye and goodluck

First coffee, then we’ll chat. OK.  I know I’ve been withholding my big news for a while now, but the time has come to spill the beans. For many of you, this won’t come a surprise, but Kyle and I have been trying to make our way back to the West Coast for a while now.  Obviously, with the economy on the fritz, and both of us having great jobs here in NYC, heading back home to CA isn’t going to be the smoothest transition.  However.  As I have talked about ad nauseum in the… Read more >

Work lunches and champagne

Sorry to go AWOL on you all this weekend…I was livin’ it up in the hospital (or a less fun sounding version of that story).  Either way, I was packing lunches, eating on the fly, and here’s the quick and dirty… Saturday Salad, fruit, veg, bacteria coated baggy, super protein Odwalla bar.  First at bat, a salad with spinach, red bell pepps, edamame, raw cauliflower, and dried cranz (with a heavy handed pour of Bragg’s liquid aminos on top). On deck, a bag of carrots, and a bag of pretzels (and by the way, I… Read more >

A sad salad kind of day

Do you see the problem here? I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I was packing this food up…clearly there was no shot in hell that this amount of food would tide me over for my entire 12 hour shift.  Salad? Check. Apples? Double check. Pretz/carob/raisins? Check.  Drank? Check. And yet, all those goodies weren’t even close to enough food…by my 2 pm lunch break I was left with nothing but my ensalada.  Where the bars at, yo?!?! Indeed, supplementation was very necessary (see below).   I bought this big a$$ tub of nuts/carob… Read more >
