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 (belated) Thanksgiving! Quite frankly, I delayed writing this post because I felt like everyone else’s thanksgiving eats were way more blog-worthy (and there were a LOT of them). Plus, I didn’t get home from work until after 8 pm and all I wanted to do at that point was put on my PJs, watch football (slash Home Alone), and stuff my face (not in that order). On a holiday such as this, it would feel weird to eat before giving thanks, and so I feel as though I should acknowledge what I’m grateful for… Read more >

A few days ago I got a wonderful surprise on my doorstep from Nicole of Bora Bora Organic Foods. She had contacted me a while ago about trying their product and after taking a trip to their website, I jumped at the chance. Their bars are: USDA Certified Organic No Refined Sugars No Preservatives Gluten Free Non GMO Non Dairy Vegan Kosher Zero Trans-Fats No Soy Ummm, sign me up! What cute packaging! In addition to the t-shirt, temporary tattoos, and tiki mug, the package included four bars: Tiki Blueberry Flax, Tribal Cinnamon Oatmeal, Island… Read more >

This morning’s subway commute was eerily empty. It always creeps me out a bit when there is nobody else in the car with me. But then, I guess it’s better than being packed in the train like a can of sardines… Munchables for the day: Apple, dried papaya/pears, 365 spelt pretzels, PB&J dipped MoJo bar, Honey Graham Z bar, and un ensalada enorme. Work was nice and slow. Happiness! I love it when I get a full hour lunch break. I enjoyed each and every bite of my packed eats. I even got off work… Read more >

Being squash season, it was only a matter of time until a big ‘ol spaghetti squash found it’s way to my kitchen. The first time I made this manned up enough to hack into this bada$$, I was more than a bit nervous. I kept seeing all these gorgeous pictures of perfectly cooked stringy spaghetti squash throughout the blog world, but never really understood what exactly I was supposed to do to get there. Fortunately, I pieced together a game plan…and got a pretty decent yield. This time around I felt like an old pro,… Read more >

This post title is in honor of my spanglish sistah and my visiting foodies. But first and foremost, I just wanted to say that re-reading my last post made me feel so whiney. Not a fan. I definitely did not mean to sound all “woe-is-me” and “there’s-no-rest-for-the-weary” because I’m going to be working on thanksgiving. So let me explain. I would definitely head home if I could – the more family time the better! Kyle actually headed home Sunday morning, which I very much encouraged him to do (why not take as much time off… Read more >
