Dessert three times a day

Cough-E & a Caramel Apple Diggin’ the froth?  Do it!  Do the Stonyfield people know that their Oikos greek yogurt is borderline sinful when combined with apples?  Caramel apples for breakfast with NO guilt whatsoever?  Uh, that gets two thumbs up.  Now that’s a dessert that Gigi can start her day with, controversy free.  Maybe.  Lunch was so boring, I almost don’t want to show it.  Boca vegan burgers open faced on Vermont soft wheat bread with Tribe roasted red pepper hummus.  You can’t go wrong when combining bread and hummus, so as basic as this… Read more >

Monday’s sweet tooth

Thanks to my whole foods gift card, I was able to replenish my NuNaturals stevia… This frothy treat is coffee with coconut milk, cinnamon, and NuNaturals.  Luff. Brunch was a bit unconventional…I felt like grilled cheese, so I got crafty and mashed together extra firm Nasoya tofu and nutritional yeast. It looks kinda bizarre, but tasted yum-may. Currently there is a pretty bomb deal going on at Whole Foods with Steaz (when you buy a 4-pack you get another for free), so obviously I went for it.  My sweet tooth took over for the rest… Read more >

Baby steps

My appetite was a monster the other day.  Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster.  I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler.  That’s not typical for me.  My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories.  If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so.  Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

Taste the Rainbow

For some reason, I have been failing to include my desserts in my posts lately…which is ESPECIALLY weird since I have been indulging in some of the most delicious treats ever.  Although ending my day with heaps of apple slices will always have a special plate in my heart, the combination of frozen fruit and xanthan gum has taken over my liiiiiife (in a good way).  The proof is in the pudding smoothies:   Frozen montage much?  If that wasn’t enough evidence that I need a BlenTec blender, I don’t know what is.  Hello, BlenTec,… Read more >

Muscle memory (aka AAAA part 2)

An Anti-Atrophy Agenda that is…(if you missed part one, or the OG dilemma, click away).  Otherwise, I’ll just continue where I last left off…  2.  As per several of your comments, I am going to be travelling outside my comfort zone and giving group classes a shot.  Because I am a wuss, the only ones I have ever done are spinning [which I love(d)].  I don’t know how I fell off the wagon with those…  Anyways, since I am working on diversifying my exercise, I think classes are the way to go.  To start out,… Read more >
