Staples

I have more photos on my camera than I could possibly share.

How about the staples?

Pre-packed food – definitely necessary given the limited cafeteria options at 3 am.

T.G.I.L. – thank goodness it’s leftovers because it made work prep come together in 5 minutes flat (Israeli couscous with raw cauliflower “rice”, cherry tomatoes, and spinach)

Dessert – non-negotiable 🙂 [I ate this Kookie Karma holistic choco lot in the car on the way to work so I don’t have a photo, but it was dark, gooey, and utterly decadent – I will be buying again]

Candied Ginger – I am averaging one of these tubs a week so I’d say it’s almost as much of a staple as hummus

Speaking of hummus…

Hummus and vegan cheese – the new power couple

Oats – always a staple in my life.  Especially after a long 12 hour night shift.  Could I have heaped this bowl any higher?

Coffee – no explanation needed

 

 

 

 

And now for the real Staples

Downtown LA used to scare me, but it’s not at all as ghetto as it once was.  In fact, the area surrounding the Staples Center was, dare I say it, pretty posh.

Fine dining aplenty!

And another staple 😉

A perfect way to start off my weekend (yes, on a Thursday)!

And the BEST way to start a Friday.  T.G.I.F.T.  Thank goodness it’s french toast!

Relaxing in PJs and doing Jillian’s Shred are equally as important in my life.  Naturally, I made sure to do both.

And enjoying back to back nights out…well…that’s not exactly a staple…yet.

But I’m hoping it becomes one.  🙂

What’s a staple in your life? Food or other.

    “(Israeli couscous with raw cauliflower “rice”, cherry tomatoes, and spinach) = oh that looks sooo good!

    I am a huge believer in (and maker of planned leftovers and batch cooking). Cook once, eat twice. Or 3 times.

    And plastic tupperware containers are my bff’s.

    LA and not being as ghetto…at least they’re trying 🙂 And posh. Pretty soon it will be the new Paris. Maybe.

    Apples. And big kitchen sink salads. Apples. And, ummm…more apples?!? 🙂

    3. the ralph’s candy aisle at 2 in the morning (oh wait, not vegan)

    4. diet soda instead of water (oh wait, you don’t do that anymore…)

    5. celery with ketchup (did we seriously think that tasted good?)

    6. a jar of peanut butter (we both still do that… oops!)

    here’s my staple: betsey johnson dresses slathered in peanut butter and chocolate. mmm.

  12. mindrunningwild

    Don’t you just love when you have a whole bunch of random photos on your camera? they’ve gotta go somewhere.
    My staples are daily phone calls with my mom, blogging, oats, yogurt, sweet potatoes/squash and music.
    I’m sure there are more too!

  21. kissmybroccoli

    Love all your staples!

    The mother of all staples in my life (even over any food in the world) is a tube of chapstick! I’m not picky. It can be fruit flavored, minty, balm, squeeze tube, lipgloss, it doesn’t matter! I just can’t go more than 15 minutes without something on my lips (TWSS?)!

  22. Jess

    I went to an NHL game last night (Sabres). go hockey!
