Fall colored food

I didn’t even realize how ridiculously orange my meals were, until I uploaded all the pictures…holy naranja!  I woke up fairly early for my day off, which allowed time for serious AM chowing.  This mug vat of coffee had froth up the yin-yang (just the way I like it).  I also toasted an English muffin and caked on the Smart Balance light.  Puddles of butter normally skeeve me out, but for some reason I craved it today. Throughout the morning I read blogs and snacked on lots of fruit.  Gotta enjoy the (dwindling) sweet part… Read more >

Is sloth really a vice?

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.  I slothed it up on the couch all day long.  I kid you not.  ALL.DAY.LONG.  What goes with laziness?  TV and grub.  Enter DVR and a marathon of breakfasts. 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 >

Products & produce

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 >

Down with the sickness

I loved hearing about all your PM routines!  Such planners we all are.  Well, most of us… I have to say, it’s a little reassuring to know there are other freaks out there just like me. As I said before, I was kinda behind getting my ducks in a row on Thursday night.  As a result, I expended minimal energy making this lunch (probably a 2 out of 10 on the effort scale).  Basically, I just kept adding more snacks in the hopes that the next day there would be at least something I wanted… Read more >

Let’s get physical

I started the day with a raging headache.  WTF?!  No fair >:( Nothing a little caffeine couldn’t fix, right?  Wrong.  So, I pulled out the big guns Excedrin and distracted myself with brekkie until the meds kicked in. Food = happy hippie.  Not the most inspiring meals.  Sorry. I did make a fabulous lunch to make up for it, though.  Dave’s Killer Bread (I’m down to my last slices, eek!), CAKED with tofummus, spinach, and LightLife’s Smart Deli “turkey.” CAKED I tell ya… See it and weep.  After my tummy was satisfied, I decided to… Read more >
