After night shift, I biked home Thursday morning and passed the [bleep] out. When I woke up I semi-freaked out because I realized my packing time (before leaving for New York) was minimal. And still, my priority was food. I had quinoa with vanilla soy yogurt, cinnamon and bananas. Then I showered, threw clothes in a suitcase, and we were off to the bus stop. I am slightly nervous about how haphazardly I packed…but we’re staying at Jess’ apartment (she’s out of town) so having her closet at my disposal is my backup. And by… Read more >

This overnight concoction tasted just like a peanut butter and jelly Larabar. While I never really cared much for the whole oats-in-a-jar phenom that rocked the blog world circa 2010, I also can’t stand waste. Fact: the best way to get every last lick of peanut butter is use the nearly empty jar as a vessel for overnight oats. I added in oats, maple syrup, apricots, and almond milk, then topped it off with almonds, cashews & dried cranberries. The next morning is was super gooey. After breakfast I caught up on… Read more >

I don’t make claims like that without knowing for certain they are the truth. I searched high and low for the perfect cheesecake recipe. But in the end, I went with my gut (and my taste buds). You see the cheesecake had to be better than good, it had to be “the best.” Why? Because it was specially requested by my coworkers who were dying to try some of my vegan baking. Opportunities like these don’t come often. In fact, I can’t remember anyone at my old job making a special request for vegan… Read more >

My meals have been pretty bizarre lately so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have no clue how this meal was born. It came out of nowhere and makes no sense. At first I thought I wanted sweet oats (my normal breakfast thang). But then I saw some leftover tofu and said to myself “why not!” I added chai tea to my oats along with half the block of tofu and mashed them all up together. Then I figured to go full on savory and add in some veggies, nutritional yeast, and Bragg’s… Read more >

How did I not know until just now that my idol, Jillian Michaels, has a free podcast on iTunes!?! I’m 24 episodes behind, which means I have enough listening material for the drive to Nor Cal tomorrow (and back on Monday). Score! I was heartbroken (no, seriously, I was) when XM radio discontinued Jillian’s last radio show, so imagine my excitement when I discovered she’s back! And this time on iTunes! There’s nothing more motivating than listening to Jillian speak about fitness and nutrition. Weee! I’ve never looked forward to the I-5 like this. Ever. … Read more >
