veggie burger

fat hippo

This morning I woke up to Kyle crawling into bed.  “What time is it?” I asked…to which he replied “You have to get up in 10 minutes.”  WHAT!? He was working on this deal until 5:05 AM, but guess what?  IT’S DONE!!!  And my STUD of a fiancé was the leader of the entire project.  Sorry, I just had to brag a bit, now that I’m finally able to discuss it, and not sworn to SUPER secrecy. ANYways… New bread!  Okay, maybe not new new, because I would never stray from my beloved Alvarado Street,… Read more >

Rockin’ the bling

I was flashing my ice ALL OVER the hospital today 🙂 I can’t help it, I’m freakin’ engaged and can’t hide the excitement!!! I packed my lunch the night before, see: Even in my extremely exhausted state (cross country flights are NOT my friend), I still managed to make a mean ass sammie, consisting of smart deli “turkey,” cranz, honey mustard, and lettuce on ww bread. And as for the rest of the days munchies: Apricot Clif bar, Strawberry/Pomegranate odwalla bar, wasabi peas, and carrots. Add a few billion pounds of coffee in there and… Read more >

back into the (vegan) swing of things…

I slept in like a mo-fo today.  Guess the day full of flying and the changes in time zones, etc. caught up to me, and I just needed to get in the zzzzz’s. I started the day like I always do..coffee and silk…while I opened my accumulated mail. Coupons, coupons, and and more coupons (and another wedding invitation). Then I got crackin’ on breakfast. I went old school with my oats.  Straight up.  Nothin’ fancy.  Sometimes I just crave the simple things in life. That held me over pretty well, but I may have had… Read more >

March on…

I guess the cold weather is back?  At least the weekend was nice, but talk about short lived.  Good morning blog-loves!  I’m in an especially great mood this morning because I (again) was called late last night by my work to get the day off.  I still get paid, but because they were overstaffed, I don’t have to go in.  I don’t know if this is something to be worried about, though, since 2 other NY hospitals recently went under, and we really haven’t had too many cases lately.  And we all know our economy… Read more >

those mines aren’t going to sweep themselves

Oh sweet Sabado!!!  I love weekends! Coffee + crossword = life is good.  Did I mention my BOYFRIEND is coming home today.  China has had him far too long.  I broke the fast with PB puffins… What a heavenly bowl of cereal. In keeping with the nut-butter theme… I had a heaping spoonful of soynut butter with some apple slices. Food porn. Since yesterday’s was so good… Fresh melon + frozen grapes + soy yogurt I even added in a splash of POM 🙂 Later I had a GN (Gary Null’s) veggie burger with hummus. … Read more >
