I have big news!
I know I was a bit of a tease with my previous posts (alluding to a surprise and then holding out on you is not my style, so I apologize), but you don’t have to wait a second longer for the big reveal…DRUMROLL PLEASE…
I am now a shopkeeper with OpenSky, a site devoted to helping passionate people share their favorite products with the rest of the internet using world.
I have been working a long time on getting my shop perfect for it’s grand opening, and although I still have lots of work to do, I am really excited to do a mini-debut now.
It has several items that I use on a daily basis, and I’m sure you will recognize most (if not all) of them. As you can see, I also now have a new tab at the top of my blog which will link you to my shop…so feel free to browse. I will be highlighting the items here so you will know exactly what they are. Most importantly, I want to emphasize that my blog is NOT a business venture for me, and I can give you my 100% promise that I will not be adding a single item that I don’t love and feel is fabulous. Hungry Hungry Hippie is a hobby for me, and nothing more…so, dear readers, don’t think I’m going corporate or changing my blog in any way.
This is only a tool to help you (since I often get questions about how I make something or what I use for another thing) and now I can show you exactly where you can get them!
Ok, enough on that…time for the food.
After a nice long weekend+ getaway, I was less than thrilled to be heading back to reality. Starting a three day stretch on a hump-day wasn’t the most enticing schedule, but that’s why they call it work, right? Right. Naturally, I brought all the finest goodies to help get me through it. If only food had that power…
This beastly tupperware had fists ‘o spinach, steamed brocc, carrots, chickpeas, and pepitas. Simple and divine.
This more modest salad had frozen corn, frozen edamame and dried cranz (the frozen eats thaw by my lunch time, so it’s not like I’m eating veggie popsicles for lunch).
This lover was the star of the day. The only thing not vegan about Boomi bars is the honey, which is a pass in my book. Now. As we all know, I don’t like nuts, but, because I know how good they are for me, I am constantly working on it. Cashew Almond sounds pretty nutty PLUS there were visible whole nuts. Those are two things that generally deter me from giving such flavors a shot, but with the past PranaBar success, I was feeling ballsy, so I bit the bullet nut-packed bar and…turns out…it was DREAMY. It reminded me of peanut brittle, but in a more chewy (bar) form. Ok, maybe that’s not the best comparison. It was lightly sweetened, but not sickeningly sweet (like I’d imagine brittle to be), and it wasn’t hard like brittle. However, the flavor was a combo of nutty with crispy rice. Like all it’s sibling bars, it held me over quite well.
Dinner was ready when I got home thanks to my food prepping. Seitan with BBQ sauce, raisins, and pepitas.
On the side I had a few sando thins with a greek yog/nooch mixture.
It was like cheesy sauce on toasted bread. 🙂
It looks weird, but don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.
Yummy dessert-ables!! Yogi-pretz, raisins, pepitas, and a meg-zoomed apple.
Back to saving lives manana, so it’s time to get some shut-eye!!
Congratulations on your shop at OpenSky!
You deserved it 😉
Delicious eats, as always 😀

Congrats on your Open-Sky store! I can’t wait to check it out 🙂
Congrats on the OpenSky store, I can’t wait to check it out! Love the seitan in your dinner…it’s one of my faves!
Great store 🙂 I own/ use almost all of those products myself. 😉
I love both prana and yogi bars…mmm
Also: I actually love eating frozen corn. Something about the texture 😉 I dare yah to try it!
And one question: are you vegan? (made me think you were vegan mentioning the honey thing) if so, is that vegan greek yogurt? (i’ve been on the prowl for some but I’ll probably end up just straining regular soy yogurt through a cheesecloth :P)
Congrats on the open sky shop!! That’s super exciting. 🙂 Also, I’ve been meaning to buy pepitas – I always seem them in the bulk bins at my store, and I think I’m officially going to do it after seeing your food today.
Congrats on the store!!
Congrats on your shop!
soo cool you are shop owner!!
i LOVE yogurt covered pretzels ! this makes me crave them now!
Congrats on the store! And I love seeing your eats, as always. I’m sure it’s blah, but welcome home anyway 🙂
hey serena, to answer your question in a nut-shell I am vegan-ish…you can check out my FAQs for more info on the exact deets and why because my explanation can get a bit lengthy. but no the greek yogurt isnt vegan. too bad such a thing doesnt exist 🙁
Congrats on the store–it sounds like it is something you have been wanting to do for a while 🙂
AND, wow. A HUGE Congratulations on the new bar…those are some MA-JUH nuts in that bar! You are my hero for eating it, lol. I can’t even take them hidden in most bars, and would never attempt a bar like that! You can totally see the nuts! Go you 🙂

WHY does your seitan look so much more appetizing than mine did, if I followed your recipe? Me not pleased. :p
