A faux cobbler & a giveaway

Being an overnight oat master (self proclaimed title), I decided to get crafty with my latest batch.   Apricot. Plum. Cinnamon.  Maple syrup. Oats. OOOOATS.   Peanut flour. Boiling water. Fridge time.  Next morning…voila!   Oaty layer on top, fruity layer on bottom.  Yum!   I’m a little late on the summer time breakfasts, huh?  This one is perfect for a hot summer morning with the sweet berries and cool nutty oats.  Hearty and fruity in one big bowl. I used to always dig out the fruit part of my mom’s berry cobblers, seeing how… Read more >

Berry green monster (giveaway)

  Hi gorgeous.  Would you believe me if I told you the above creation had spirulina, chlorella, and flax lignans in it?  Because it totally does.  Would you believe me if I said I was going to give away a tub of the same Antioxidant Natural Greens powder to one lucky HHH reader?  Because I totally am.  🙂   I heard a scary stat the other day.  Did you know that the average American eats 38 salads a year.  A YEAR!  My jaw hit the floor when I heard that.  I have always known I’m… Read more >

Can’taloupe

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 >

The tally

Elise 1.  Night shift 1. Monday’s night shift was fine.  But last night’s had a few hiccups.  It started off well enough (same patients, same routine) but after my lunch sleeping break at 3 am, I got busy.  Downside: One of my patients decided to stop breathing (which is never good). Upside: The hours between 3 and 6 am FLEW by.   Leading up to work I had a nice day.  After biking back from work, I showered and crawled into bed, where I promptly dozed off for a solid four hours. When I woke… Read more >

It would be nice, if you made me rice.

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband.  I may have to show it to you later.  :)  Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine.  It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit.  Dude.  I am so bummed about these lame nectarines.  From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >
