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 >

Econ 101

Question: In the current economy, how do you avoid associating food with $? I can’t help but feel like NOT finishing my meal is the exact same thing as wasting money.  Like, unless I polish off my plate, I’m basically throwing my hard earned cash down the drain. Jillian once mentioned she had this problem, but her solution wasn’t realistic in my opinion.  I’m not talking about portions served to me while dining out.  In my opinion, going to nice restaurants is a luxury and is all about the experience (so the high(er) prices are… 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 >

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 >

tofummus

Tofu + chickpeas = tofummus?  It’s honestly the best thing ever.  Hear that Sabra?  Consider this your warning…you MAY have been dethroned. I will hold off on this latest obsession for now… First things first.  Work. It. For some reason the unit was -19 degrees today, which is the rationale I’m using to explain why I ate > 5000 kcals in 20 hours.  Food = warmth, right?  I’m pretty sure Einstein already proved that theory, so I won’t take all the credit.  But in all no seriousness, I had goosebumps and was shivering all morning… Read more >
