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.
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a copy of Terry Walters’ Clean Start.
Hummus and cheese is suchh a good combo! And I love ice hockey! One of my staples is Naturally More pb. Sooo good!
i LOVE candied ginger! Have you ever tried putting it in homemade hummus? SO good!
whaaaaat!?! thats crazy talk. i just might have to try it 🙂
“(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?!? 🙂

My staples oatmeal in the morning, Crazy Bowls & Wraps after a long week at work, Friday Bikram Yoga, and pints of Guinness Extra Stout (the veg. friendly one!) since it’s close to St. Patrick’s Day!
cute photo of you girls! i miss you guys! we need to plan a time when we will all be together xxxxx
niiiiice 🙂
yes!! we were talking about how we missed you last night 🙁 and reminiscing on “that” summer
so wait? you like apples? haha.
you forgot to add:
1. dried pineapple (oh wait, we o.d.’d on that)
2. carob-covered raisins (oh wait, we o.d.’d on those, too)
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.
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!
i love you.
there’s a pub near staples center that has vegan bar food!
ohhhhhh…do you remember what it’s called per chance? i wanna go back it was so much fun!!!
WOAH! lucky yoU!!!
my current staple… NUTs!
We have that same coffee mug! We love it! I am drinking some coffee right now as I am reading your blog 🙂
Where did you get your coffee mug?!
crate and barrel
yeah, let’s make it happen asap. preferably on a tropical island somewhere, cocktail in hand? just saying… 🙂 xxxx
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?)!
I went to an NHL game last night (Sabres). go hockey!
