About Elise
I’m a nurse. An exercise lover. A whole foods connoisseur. A health enthusiast. And I have IBS. No need to cue the sappy violin music yet...
I’ve found that eating a mostly plant-based diet has allowed me to continue to live and love life to the fullest. Although moderation isn’t something I do well, I’m 100% devoted to giving my body pure, wholesome, quality food. Nutritious and delicious, all the time.
Hungry Hungry Hippie is a way for me to share my daily dealings with food, fitness, and everything in between.
I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework). Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am. I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything. But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30. 😡 6 hours of sleep? Meh. Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time. The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >

Nope, not an earth quake drill, just my intro to an AMAZING product that I recently became obsessed with. CoverMate Food Covers are designed for covering food with specific design details that make them a dream tool in the kitchen. This giveaway post is for anyone who loves a hassle free shortcut – it’s for moms-on-the-go, students with no time, people with no kitchen space, and/or lazy chefs. Or all of the above. CoverMates are quicker, easier, and greener than saran wrap because you can use them, wash them, and reuse them…over and over again. … Read more >

Cheater cheater pumpkin potato eater. Last week my cousin posted a recipe that looked both tasty and vegan-izable, so I starred it and saved it for a rainy day. Ok, a cloudy day…this is LA after all, not New York. Yesterday was that day…only I had very few of the ingredients on hand. No matter, I subbed like a pro and wound up with a totally different (but still very tasty) dish. It took very little time since I cheated every step of the way, but trust me, cutting corners never tasted so good. I… Read more >

First things first, the randomly chosen Zevia giveaway winner is… #59 – Danielle When we were little kids, my cousin and I used to think it was hysterical to put fake ice cubes (the ones with the spiders inside) in people’s glasses of soda!

This weekend was a reminder of why Kyle and I moved back to the West Coast. No offense NYC, but when it comes to the weather and the social scene, California is where the party’s at! I may be well out of college, but that doesn’t mean I’m an old fart (yet). This weekend I was drawn to keg parties and tailgates like a moth to a flame. I don’t mind a seedy bar once in a while either. But before I get to the brew-fueled festivities, let me back up to Friday. You like… Read more >
