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.
Happy Earth Day fellow hippies! This is one of my favorite days, and in New York, the going green theme has been stretched out – lasting a whole week – so I’ve been enjoying it to the fullest. Last year on Earth Day I tried (unsuccessfully) to start a bike-to-work initiative at the hospital where I work. And this year I’m doing the same thing. Some may think it’s silly (given that I will only be an employee there for another two weeks), but I don’t care. We had a saying in my soccer days… Read more >

I hate working Mondays, so I avoid them like the plague swine flu. It just seems like nothing gets done over the weekends at the hospital and so with the start of the week comes a bunch of catch-up crappola. This Monday, I managed to dodge the bullet, and instead of spending the day at the hospital, I finished off a sh!t ton of errands on my to-do list. I’m not sure which was more fun, but either way I was productive. My to-do list is never ending. I swear, every time I cross 3… Read more >

As I mentioned before, Saturday was a late night, so Sunday didn’t really get under way until noon. Before anything, we went to WF for (our last) huge grocery trip. On the way home, I got a soy misto. Even though we were still waiting for our groceries to arrive, I still had everything on hand for a perfect lunch. The other day I got a delivery from Livin’ Spoonful in the mail, with tons of raw, vegan, sprouted goodies. I can’t even tell you how long I had been waiting to try these… I… Read more >

Have I mentioned that Kyle and I are ballers? Haha. Riiiight. But we certainly tried to act the part this weekend with a dinner at Le Barnardin. Oh hey there magic bullet chillin’ in the background. Whatever, once I stepped into my stilettos, I felt gla-gla-glamorous… And so off we went to Eric Ripert’s three Michelin star restaurant. The night started with some drank at the bar, along with parm/pistachio bread sticks. Upon being seated we dove into the (extensive) wine list and chose a Pinot from Oregon. Um, how classy is this stool for… Read more >

Wow, I’m behind in posting! Sadly, I was busy with boring things, so my catch up posting isn’t going to be all that thrilling…or thorough. I worked…and you know what that means…eating out of tupperware! Unfortunately, the above eats were not representative of what I actually consumed because I was floated to the ICU (no time for snacking) and my tum was acting up (no desire for roughage). What I really ate was the salad, pretz with hummus, and the nutty/carob-y mix (basically I skipped the carrots and apples). There was also a fresh sourdough… Read more >
