It’s that time of the year. Lent. I’ve been trying to think of what I should give up for a while now. I’m not very good with restrictions, it always seems to make me want something more when I know I can’t have it (forbidden fruit). Plus, nutritionally speaking, I’m in a pretty good place, balancing moderation with the occasional splurge (hey, I deserve it, I’m a hard working girl)!! So, with that in mind, I decided against giving up anything food related, and instead chose television. So, from now until April 11th, afternoon boob-toob-ing… Read more >

You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!? Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green. And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make. We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point? Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea… Read more >

After dancing spastically bopping around the apartment (all evening), singing my own made-up lyrics to the slumdog millionaire song, Kyle insisted I was being retarded and there was NO way they were screaming “die ho.” As usual, he was right…I did some googling, and that’s how the title of the post came about. At least now he has nothing one fewer complaint with my energetic insanely obnoxious performance. Anyways…focus Elise…oh that’s right, food! In today’s coffee I frothed my soymilk with some sf vanilla syrup…I’m turning into a little barista! PB puffins :) I heated… Read more >

Today was a repeat of yesterday. Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up. Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend. Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored. I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s. I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry. I also… Read more >

Love how detailed my weekend plans were? When you have no agenda, it’s pretty easy to stick to it…coffee, check. B-fast, check. Alvarado street bread toasted with greek yog and “egg” on top. I lazed the AM away watching the Real Housewives of NYC, while Kyle rolled his eyes and made sarcastic remarks throughout(sometimes crap TV is the best way to start the weekend). Clearly Bethanny is going to continue to provide the majority of the show’s entertainment for the second season, too. Apparently, my breakfasts even get their own desserts now! Crunch! I… Read more >
