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.
I followed last week’s fitness and meal plan almost 100% (like 97%)! [I’m just as shocked as you are] The only thing I’m not posting a recipe for is the lentil “meatloaf” – but that’s because I’ve shared a few others already. This one was most like the mushroom version (the first link). The kale salad I made is basically this one. The chili recipe is here. And last, but NOT EVEN REMOTELY least, is the sausage & spinach stew. Okay, so this is my favorite dish at the moment. I had the leftovers for… Read more >

We bought duraflame logs at Target last week so that means it’s officially fall. The season of soups and stews! Or maybe that’s winter. Either way, it’s time for warm comfort food. Crock pot recipes do NOT photograph well (and I’m not the type of blogger to dirty extra dishes to better show off a recipe). So you’ll just have to trust me that this tastes better than it looks. I know I have a (few?) chili recipe(s) on HHH already but this was really good. Plus, after a summer of neglect, the… Read more >

Soooo, we never got around to carving our pumpkin. But it didn’t go to waste… Friday afternoon we were housebound while waiting for our wine delivery to come (I had to be home to sign for it since we’d missed the first two attempts). So what did we do? Played with pumpkin guts. P watched on as I hacked our little sugar pumpkin from Impossible Acres open and scooped out the seeds. I roasted them – making half savory (salt & pepper) and half sweet (cinnamon & stevia). [BTW, I did not boil them… Read more >

Nothing spooky going on over here! My little lion got his trick or treat on in downtown Davis today. Man was it crowded! It was pretty fun going from business to business, showing off our cutie pie, collecting sweets, and enjoying the warm October sun. His favorite thing of all was the red balloon he got from Mathnasium. Nerd alert, ha. Hope everyone got their sugar fix tonight. 😀
