vegan cake

Red eyezzzzz

I can hardly keep my eyes open.  Red-eye flights kinda suck, huh.  But I guess all flights kinda suck.  No matta, I’m back in the NYCizzle.  I miss home already, but look at all the goodies I came home to!!! Let birthday week begin!! The first package was full of Averie’s raw vegan macaroons and donut holes, which smelled SO dang heavenly, I waited all of 5 seconds before digging into them. Oh, wow.  I’m pretty jealous of her taste tester daughter – someone get this girl her own bakery.  The macaroons were coconutty and… Read more >

The big five

Finally a day off of work [insert sigh of relief]!  And a Friday to boot (what an odd phrase).  Today was soopah busy and I was playing catch up all day long.  Naturally, I fueled myself with a large dose of caffeine to get my butt moving. I got 99 problems errands but a meal ‘aint one. After my first round of rain-filled errands my tummy was begging for more fruit.  You ask and you shall receive! Later, I was craving the most bizarre (read highly processed) things for lunch. Bacon and cheese?  Errr…not quite. … Read more >

Am I behind?

Yes!  About 4 days behind.  I showed you all my eats throughout the day, but no dinners.  So, I guess I have some blogging to do, huh?  But before I get to that, thank you all SO much for your kind comments about my past few days at work.  I was a little nervous about writing a more emotional post about my job (and not food), but the comments that flooded after proved I had nothing to worry about.  So thank you thank you thank you 🙂 Moving on.  Guess what today is!?!  Give up?… Read more >

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!!  Did everyone do something nice and green today?  I contacted my hospital’s big-wigs to beg ask about an initiative promoting biking to work (and requesting to get a small protected room to store the staff hippies’ bikes).  C’mon Beth Israel, get green!!  This is something I have been trying to get going for a while, so now that the weather is getting nice, and in honor of Earth Day, I figured an extra push may be well received.  We’ll see… You know how I rocked it out this morning…with a cuppa joe… Read more >

tuesday

Finally, a day off of work…time to get the apartment set up! After I got back from errands, I made a big lunch.  A pseudo BLT (soy bacon, spinach, and hummus)…ok, so it was a BLH.  I used Lightlife soy bacon and Sabra hummus (obvi) on my fave, Alvarado street bread. Looks delish, huh!!! I cleaned the apartment while snacking chowing down some dried fruit. I was a bit of a slacker, and really wasn’t feeling the gym, but I dragged myself there (my goal is to not come in last in April’s half marathon). … Read more >
