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.
Here’s the real indicator that I’m type A…I literally clean the blender parts and put them away before I drink my smoothie. Even when I’m a crazy hangrypants. Please tell me there are others out there who do this too? I know the OCD tendencies run deep in food bloggers, so I don’t think I’m going too out on a limb with this. But I definitely do it every. single. time. I make a smoothie. Other dishes, not so much. I’ll wait til after I eat breakfast to clean the frying pan (usually because I… Read more >

Another post on allergy friendly baby meals (and other ideas/thoughts/notes). Here we are at 12 months… I was telling my mom recently that each day it feels like two steps forward & one step back in the eating department. [Actually I said one step forward, two steps back, but we really are moving in the positive so that’s an inaccurate portrayal of the situation] Truth be told, I bet all parents feel like this, even the ones without children with allergies. Some days he eats everything that touches his tray, other days he refuses… Read more >

Mama’s little helper. The addition of shoes to the wardrobe has transformed him into a little boy. He’s non-stop exploring. Still not walking, but he’s perfected his cruising skills, so it’s only a matter if time (days). Green toys. And now the word tractor is a part of his vocab. Davis appropriate. Inspired by Vintage Mixer’s kale coconut & chicken salad I made this guy for lunch. I have been struuuuuggling with lunches lately. I don’t know what to eat without soy or nuts or hummus. I’ve been trying to limit meat to… Read more >

As I’ve shared several times before, this recipe is on repeat all the time here at the HHH household. It’s an allergy friendly winner! I make it with blueberries instead of chocolate chips most of the time, but sometimes (if I don’t have blueberries on hand), I just leave them as plain pumpkin muffins without any add-ins. Still great! Anyway, I wanted to try a savory version in an effort to trick P into eating some squash. Yes, I’ve no resorted to "sneaky chef" techniques – baking veggies into my kid’s food. I’ve been… Read more >

I called both Delta and Virgin airlines this past week to try to see if there was anything special I needed to do when flying with a child with peanut/sesame (tree nut, etc) allergies. The short answer: there’s not. Basically for liability reasons they cannot guarantee that he won’t be served something that’s been contaminated so I should prepare and bring my own food and epi-pen. [Not surprising] Realistically, I’d probably do that anyway. And it would be a huge risk for them to promise there was zero cross contamination or exposure to an… Read more >
