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.
Caramel and chocolate. Almost better than nut butter and chocolate. Almost. What could this be? I love surprise packages. Kyle’s a keeper. I don’t want you to think Kyle and I are crazy stalkers, but we are both very much in love with Katie’s cute little family. And texts like the above are not uncommon. I mean seriously, how can you not melt?? Vegetable juice and french fries cancel each other out right? I mean the fries were from Whole Foods…that’s gotta count for something. Kyle wanted me to take a photo of… Read more >

This isn’t gourmet. By any stretch of the imagination. Noodles. Whatever kind you want. Sauce. Nutritional yeast, plain almond milk, lemon juice, stone ground dijon mustard, & soy sauce. Whatever you do, don’t skimp on the nutritional yeast. It made up 90% of the sauce and the rest was just to give it a little extra zip. Then – and this goes without saying – just coat the noodles in as much sauce as you can. Yesssss.

If you’re even remotely hungry or in a state of questionable self control, I’d recommend skipping this post. Serious food porn coming your way. I used this recipe. Minus the icing on top. Because that way I can ice them differently each time I have one. And thus far, I’ve been partial to melty coconut butter and Earth Balance. But peanut butter isn’t too shabby either. Neither is maple syrup. Soooo…yeah. These are really awesome. Highly recommend. That said, these biscuit cinnamon rolls are still my faves. Doesn’t [vegan] butter just make everything… Read more >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

Last month, Musco Family Olive Co. offered to send me a sampler package of their delicious new olives, including: Fresh Cured Olives – hand-picked, then cured immediately to retain their firm texture and natural color variations. Reduced Salt Olives – large, black pitted olives with 25% less salt and pimiento stuffed manzanillas with 75% less salt than their traditional counterparts! I’m not a big fan of olives, but I was heading home at the time, so I offered them to my parents. Here’s my dad’s review… Like many kids, I grew up with canned… Read more >
