plain tofu

almost back to normal

I woke up insanely early this morning considering I rarely eat brekkie at the apartment on work days.  But, hey, I like to color outside the lines.  Watch out! Coffeeeeeeee!! If you add a gallon of soymilk, it doesn’t really stain your teeth, right?  Sure, Elise, whatever helps you sleep at night… I was feeling nearly 100% (thank goodness) so I had a quick bite (Alvarado street bread toasted with Earth Balance spread) and then I was off to work… Look at all the Odwalla bars my mom sent me home with!!!  She knows how… Read more >

empty containers

I couldn’t decide on a title for this post. The real title should have been “how much chocolate and dessert food can you consume in 48 hours”…but that doesn’t really roll off the tongue. So, instead I decided to post photos of all the containers I’ve managed to polish off (as if wasting food in our move is my biggest concern). More death by chocolate (vegan) cake…aka the BEST slice of heaven on Earth.  Yuuuummmmmy!!  And this was only half way through (the original slice was about the size of a brick). And for those… Read more >

Happy Birthday Kyle!

This is gonna be snappy because I’m tired and grumpy. AM: I made some java with silk and sf vanilla syrup…which I sipped while doing some mega apartment cleaning. I had an apple for a mid-morning snack. Thrilling, I know. And then the fun began…that’s right, I’m talking March Madness!!! A few quarters under way, I got lunch ready. I spread some plain greek yogurt and red pepper hummus on a whole wheat tortilla, then added in spinach, shredded carrots, and baked tofu (more from yesterday’s batch), with lots of CURRY on top. I don’t… Read more >

Kickin’ it with the Knicks

When I woke up, it was WAY later than I expected…obviously my alarm didn’t go off. Shoot! But then I made my way out to the living room (aka the only other room in the apartment that’s not the bedroom), and our houseguests were all still sound asleep. No worries, I figured, they are probably just jet lagged…I made my coffee and headed back into the bedroom to sip and read blogs.Stevia and silk makes the world go round. This mug is CRAZY big, so this was quite the caffeine load.(Not wanting to make too… Read more >

BWE (part 1)

Could stand for several things…best weekend ever, perhaps?  Or Bachelorette Wino Elaine?  I don’t even know where to start after such a fun filled weekend.  Friday was my friend Elaine’s bridal shower followed by a weekend getaway in Calistoga for her bachelorette party.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few.  If you have no interest in the commentary, scroll away. After lunch on Friday I collected my energy and hit the road for a 1/4 marathon.  It was way more uphill running than I anticipated but I finished… Read more >
