Is Steve-o really vegan?

I’m all about VeganMoFo.  October is already my favorite month, so I was delighted to read Gena’s latest post and find out that there is yet ANOTHER reason to smile now that it’s October.  I mean, why not dedicate an entire month to celebrating a healthy lifestyle!  In honor of this special Vegan Month Of Food, in each post I am going to reveal a celebrity who is vegan.  Today’s vegan celeb was someone I was QUITE surprised about…I mean after years of torturing himself for entertainment purposes, who would ever have expected STEVE-O to… Read more >

I labored all day

Cha-ching!!  Hear that?  That’s the sound of the $$ being deposited in my bank account after working a holiday.  Time and a half, yes please! (Sadly, I have a feeling the influx of cash flow on my end is probably barely enough to cover the amount oozing out of my better half while he is living it up in Vegas…) I gave the tropical fruit Larabar another shot (but ONLY for you Julie!) and I’m sorry to say, I still wasn’t a fan.  Want the proof?  I actually threw out the uneaten half.  Now, I’m… Read more >

Yum! Eat!!

Wanna see how my Maui meals have been going…well, I have about 4.7% of my eats captured on film, so I’ll let you be the judge of that.   We eat at restaurants more often than not, so I am in serious need of a detox.  Processed foods have been in abundance, despite my best attempts to minimize them.  And even with mega planning ahead of time, vegan options tend to be poor at best.  One of the things I realized here is how unavoidable processed foods is.  Sad :(  Even with my organic-loving, health-conscious, family,… Read more >

oil…from the gland of an otter

Apparently I have to choose between saving for a wedding, and keeping up with the food blog fads.  So, in the interest of staying engaged, I’m unable to juice for breakfast.  No, not that kind of juice.  This kind. So I settled for the poor man’s version (aka a smoothie).  Into the blender went: 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup OJ, 3 oz POM, applesauce cup, frozen plain tofu cubes… and the juice of 1 orange (hand squeezed).  Nice before and after, no? The predominant color is the almond milk and plain tofu.  Good thing… Read more >

Thursday

I thought it was Friday all day…so confused.  Whatever, Thursday means The Office, so it’s all good. 5 AM.  Frothed me some coffee…and then I was off to work! Since I was running crazy late, I had this little baby on the way to work.  For the record, I do NOT enjoy eating on the subway, especially when I’m drenched from my rainy mad dash to the station.   As usual, I made my lunch the night before to bring to work, which included a hugh jass salad of spinach, brocc slaw, shredded carrots, cherry… Read more >
