Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction. Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing. I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community. But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) and had my first nut milk experience. **A HUGE thanks to everyone who commented with recommendations on my previous post about non-milk milks.** As for the almond milk…It was…interesting? I can’t even think of any way to describe it. Definitely… Read more >

I spent most of today outside, so my food pictures will be fewer than usual. But that’s a good thing. It means SUNSHINE! I woke up crazy early (thanks for that 6:55 am text Jess) and enjoyed some frothy java before heading to the gym. I like getting my workouts done early when the weather is awesome…plus Jess and I had an appointment at Jenny Yoo to get to. [insert 4 miles on the elliptical here] After the gym I showered, beautified, and chowed down the above brunch while trying not to get peanut butter… Read more >

I was so excited to get to sleep in today, until I woke up to my crazy co-worker calling me at the crack of dawn…there goes that. In her defense, she’s crazy in a good way…still, when I’m with her, I don’t know if I should (a) shoot her up with Haldol or (b) just further feed her kookiness with my own wacky ways. *FYI: Haldol is a med for schizo patients She works night shifts, so we don’t actually work directly with each other, hence the ridiculously early phone calls on my days off. … Read more >

I’m not sure why it’s a challenge…since I heart salads, and welcome all motivation to get creative in the mixed greens department. But hey, I’m not one to turn down something I can obviously succeed at a challenge. Back to the b-fast eats. A pile of toast with some Smart Balance light. Note the pre-photo nibbled corner. 😉 I need to go shopping, after living on live sprouted bread (ie Ezekiel, Alvarado street, etc) for so long, the regular whole wheat stuff just doesn’t cut it… Other AM yummies: vanilla soy yog and chai… Read more >

On the way to work I was debating how embarrassing it would be to puke on the subway…after weighing my options, I boarded the train. No, it wasn’t the current economic situation or the fact that we are supposed to be saving for a wedding that forced me to go to work (although it didn’t help), it was the knowledge that by suffering through a 12 hour shift while your insides were in a deep turmoil was actually preferable to moving. In case you couldn’t tell by my last few posts, I HATE MOVING. I… Read more >
