TGI…

I worked on Saturday, so my Friday wasn’t really a TGIF kind of day.  To summarize the AM: cereal, bike ride, window shopping.  I had two Turlock multi-grain pitas with hummus for lunch and a veggie burger a la mode.   Hummus gone.  🙁   In terms of fizz KeVita < Synergy, in terms of calories it’s the reverse.  Flavor-wise I go back and forth.  Depends on what I’m in the mood for. Truthfully, all I wanted for dinner was quinoa drenched in Bragg’s liquid aminos, but I decided to up the nutritional profile of… Read more >

Cereal-ly annoying

Since it’s currently a million and four degrees in Los Angeles, our apartment is in the upper billions range (overhead fans don’t do too much).  Stove top oats were definitely not happening and I hadn’t prepped overnight oats, so my Friday morning started with this beaut.  Plain greek yogurt, golden delicious apple, 365 waffle square cereal, peanut butter and cinnamon. I have mentioned my main cereal “issue” before (the inability to finish fewer than four bowls in a single sitting), but I have another one.  I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem, but… Read more >

One year already?

Whoa, where did the time go?   I can’t believe this time last year I was saying “I do” to my best friend…thus embarking on a lifetime of love and laughter. I will spare you all from enduring another post full of wedding photos since you can see them and read the recap(s) here.  But I will share some of the outtakes…   These pics are so much better anyway! Air robot! Group love!   It was hot (I promise I wasn’t peeing my pants dress).  My uncle looks very worried, though. He’s a romantic,… Read more >

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 >

Elise lately

Here’s an odd development that I feel like sharing… I seem to have developed an aversion to coffee.  This is frightening to me and I keep waiting for the phase to pass, but it’s been a week and I still can’t finish off my morning cuppa joe.  Tea’s been doing the trick. It’s pretty bizarre that I could go from a caffeine worshiper to, well, whatever I am now.  Hmmm. I’ve been alternating creamer types (soy, coconut, etc.) but I recently fell in love with Almond Breeze’s Unsweetened Vanilla almond milk.    Love!  Thanks to… Read more >
