Bombizzle mix and MIX1

I won’t burst into Annie’s theme song, but it’s definitely a relief to see the sun again.  Caffeine + froth = a hop in my step Oddly enough, I started feeling iffy again half way through this HUGE mug, so I curbed the coffee and set my sights on the next meal. I guess meal isn’t the right word, but apples need no justification. Blogging and random dilly-dallying (cooking, emailing, erranding, etc.) around the apartment took up the majority of my morning, and pretty soon noon rolled around and I needed sustenance. I added the… Read more >

Days that start with the letter “s”

Saturday was a work day.  F to the U.N.  Packed nom-noms are some of the usual suspects, as well as some new members.  Carrots, salad, apples, bars, and a baggie of goodies.  Tummy-wise, I felt a little bit better, but certainly not great.  In the non-transparent bag: almonds, carob chips, raisins, pistachios, cashews, and pretzels. This Belle Bananas Foster flavored 18 Rabbits bar was another winner.  I’m not usually a banana nut fan, but this may be the bar that changes that.  It’s oaty, with good breakability, perfect level of sweetness, and reminds me of… Read more >

Mother Nature must be mad

Can you believe this weather?  Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant.  There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today.  Brrr.  I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty. The big boy on the left contained spinach, steamed zucchini, carrots, brocc, chopped celery, chickpeas, and dried cranz.  Holy ingredients.  The smaller side tupperware had delicata squash (I finally found it again! yes!!) with raisins. Do… Read more >

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 >

If it’s midnight, is it still dinner?

I don’t know much about snowboarding jumps but Saun White’s triple McSwoopy Loop Double CrissCross Uppity looked infinitely cooler than any other athlete’s trick.  Wow.  Anyways, here are my fabulous work eats. Because of all the ah-maze comments you guys left me, I decided to give the oatmeal raisin GNU flavor & fiber bar a second shot, and I will definitely be getting some of the other flavors to try as well…it was definitely better than the ThinkThin bar I had.  I bought a bunch of these ThinkThin nasties all at once (like months ago),… Read more >
