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.
Tofu + chickpeas = tofummus? It’s honestly the best thing ever. Hear that Sabra? Consider this your warning…you MAY have been dethroned. I will hold off on this latest obsession for now… First things first. Work. It. For some reason the unit was -19 degrees today, which is the rationale I’m using to explain why I ate > 5000 kcals in 20 hours. Food = warmth, right? I’m pretty sure Einstein already proved that theory, so I won’t take all the credit. But in all no seriousness, I had goosebumps and was shivering all morning… Read more >

Remember all of the errands I briefly mentioned yesterday? FINALLY! I know it’s no food processor, but I wanted something on the less $$ side to tide me over until next year when I hit the kitchen appliance jackpot we register for our wedding. I can’t even TELL you how excited I was to use this baby. Unfortunately, I worked all day (on a Saturday – boo!), so my mind was preoccupied by more pressing matters, but as soon as I was out of the hospital, my mind began racing with all the possibilities. I… Read more >

I mean this both literally and figuratively. I was Errands McGee today, and I definitely ate enough to fuel it all. Sheesh. Just you wait…you’ll see! I had a lovely morning with a frothy java and scoop ‘o almonds. YUMMY! Like a five year old, I played with my food a little, too. I’m so mature. I got a little sun this past weekend, huh? Oops!! Fueled on crack caffeine and nuts, I did some running around town and came home and made a BEAST of a breks. Underneath all the granola, almonds, and fresh… Read more >

No need to send out the search dogs, I’m alive and well. In the last few days I’ve been hanging out with with my sis and working. I worked the past two days, and Laura left to return to CA today (tear). In the interest of just getting up to date, I’ll limit Tues through Thurs to the very upmost blog-worthy parts. Not that everything I write isn’t thrilling… Me + Laura + WF lunch + central park = happy day The sun was BLAZING, so the photos were all soopah bright. In case your… Read more >

Alarm-less wake up at 7 am? BOO. Not sure why, but I was giving the crows a run for their money this morning. While I got my java on, I rocked out to The Upwelling – and for the record – I am NOT a morning person. Making sense of anything before 8 am is a struggle, let alone breaking in my vocal cords. I showered, lathered on sunscreen, and navigated my way to the 7 train. I noshed on this MASSIVE granola bar from WF on the way. I love these fruit & nut… Read more >
