Please disregard how delayed my posting is…as this post is clearly from last Friday. What can I say, this weekend was a crazy one! Festival ‘o Lights started today…oh the things I know from living in NYC working in a Jewish Hospital. Why are there so many ways to spell Hanukkah? Very confusing religion. Shocker of all shockers. I passed up my usual dose of caffeine this morning and instead opted for a huge cuppa cocoa. I’m getting to be a bit obsessed with this beverage. I’m not sure if it’s because Christmas time and… Read more >

Work it bay-bay. My pre-packed food included: THREE bars (PB cookie Larabar, Chocolate Brownie Z bar, and a Peanut Toffee Buzz Clif bar) TWO apples …and a partridge in a pear tree ONE ginorm salad Like an onion, this sh!t had layers and layers: steamed kale, broccoli, BN squash, cannellini bean, cherry toms, and raisins – I added Bragg’s apple cider & liquid AA’s to it, too. The spelt pretzels were the perf accompaniment (as anything with salt is). For the record, I skipped my AM starbeezies and brought my own tea bags (and I… Read more >

I blasted music from the Nutcracker all morning long, and it actually made the horrible weather not seem so bad. I’ll have to remember that trick for the future… Frothy coffee and an english muffin stuffed with peanut butter helped, too. But what REALLY warmed my heart was all your sweet comments on my weighty post. You guys are so awesome. Seriously. It’s always nerve racking to put yourself out there, but I am continually amazed by the overwhelmingly supportive and positive comments. Gah. You guys are too much! Anyways, after breks, I cuddled up… Read more >

J’adore all the recent commenters! Keep delurking peeps, it’s great hear from ya :) My love cup is full (yes, I just quoted Vicki, cringe). After the (above) overflowing frothy cuppa java, I was at a serious crossroads. I wanted more caffeine, but I also wanted chocolate. Such a dilemma! Solution: MOCHA! I combined coffee, Chatfield’s cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and agave nectar. It was heavenly. I mistakenly took a sip before taking a photo (which was only a mistake because it was SO dang good that half the cup was in my tummy… Read more >

It takes just one full day of my regular hippie eating to get me back in the swing of things. Today was perfect. I started the day with foamy coffee and a massive bowl tupperware of oats. Explanation behind the use of tupperware? Well, I had planned on making overnight oats for work the previous day, but I completely forgot about it in the morning. (It’s already a challenge for me to transport my regular pre-packed lunches, so adding another tupperware was the straw that broke the camel’s back my backpack) Forgetting the oats worked… Read more >
