A few fruits, like grapes and melon, give me reflux trouble. It’s not that I can’t eat them, it’s just that I have to eat them alone, stay upright afterwards, and not exercise. Cantaloupe is one of the main culprits, but I think I found a way to work around it. Blender! Ignore the color, this was awesome. It was also crazy healthy – packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats! See that green powder? That’s the latest item to join the hippie kitchen. Um. Whoa. What I like about this Antioxidant Omega-3… Read more >

If I had to summarized Monday through Thursday in a single post…well…I can’t, so I don’t know how to end that sentence. But, where I was going with that intro was to say my week has been packed and amazing. Highlights reel? Sure, why not. Monday slash Tuesday I had night shift stuff. The only thing of note food-wise was how many berries I consumed over the course of the day. I have likely met my Vitamin C quota until October. I also made a pita pie (for those of you who keep asking about… Read more >

My second night shift came and went without incident. It was pretty much a dream 12 hours. I staggered my way to the parking garage and arrived home just before 8 am to pass the car off to my better half (as in, the half that doesn’t crash the car). Oh, did I not mention my little accident? Twitter followers may have read the news, but for those who aren’t in the loop, I suck at driving. Don’t worry, I’m being slightly dramatic (I’m fine). The passenger side door, on the other hand, wasn’t so… Read more >

East Coast readers avert your eyes. This is the morning view from our rooftop. I went upstairs in a tank top and boxers after pouring my first cup of joe. And it’s mid-January. I couldn’t even finish my coffee because it was too hot! Instead, I made some fresh lemonade with stevia and the juice from one whole lemon. With temps in the high 70’s there’s only one thing to do! Bust out the blender. Green monster time!! My perfect summer LA winter smoothie included: 1/2 cup almond milk fist of spinach 1/2 cup frozen… Read more >

Clean eats with minimalist descriptions. Ready, set, blog. Pumpkin Pie smoothie Toast with “cream cheese” and cinnamon. I have mixed feelings about Tofutti cream cheese. It’s got an odd saltiness to it that can sometimes make for an unexpected flavor, but it’s great for subbing into pasta dishes. It does melt when it meets warm bread, which is a win in my book. 🙂 Self explanatory addiction. Ditto to the above. Avocado + pea mash up It’s not easy being green…when avocado is involved. On toasted sprouted bread. My night shift work eats… Read more >
