greek yogurt

I’ve got B.O. (beets and okra)

Don’t worry I’m a clean hippie.  Showers are me time.  But wait ‘til you see my lovely dinner…it’s packed with salad newbies.  But first things first.  I have no idea why, but I woke up WAY freakin’ early.  On a non-work day, WTF!?  Anyways, I had a frothy mug of joe to get things rolling…followed by a strawberry chobz with diced strawberries on top. Mmmm…look at all that greek yogurt goodness.  I also had an apple while reading blogs and watching last night’s Gossip Girl and The Hills killing some brain cells.   After I… Read more >

oranges, oranges, oranges

Overdose alert!!  I kinda went crazy with the naranjas today (fyi that’s oranges in Spanish).  So now that I’ve fulfilled Elise’s daily cultural lesson for all you non-espanol-ers out there, I’ll continue on with today’s post.  Gringo, much?   I made this one with soymilk, but I am SO excited to go shopping today for a new non-milk milk.  Can I just say how amazing this blogging community is?!?  Seriously, I have a question, and I turn to you all, and voila, answer! So a HUGE thanks for all your suggestions!  Seriously, you guys rock…. Read more >

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!!  Did everyone do something nice and green today?  I contacted my hospital’s big-wigs to beg ask about an initiative promoting biking to work (and requesting to get a small protected room to store the staff hippies’ bikes).  C’mon Beth Israel, get green!!  This is something I have been trying to get going for a while, so now that the weather is getting nice, and in honor of Earth Day, I figured an extra push may be well received.  We’ll see… You know how I rocked it out this morning…with a cuppa joe… Read more >

Wanted: juicer

I NEED A BREVILLE!!! Literally, every day I wake up, sigh, and think of the fun Andrea and Jenna (and countless others in the food blog world) are having (that I’m missing out on)… I even have ingredients planned out in my head.  I wish I could just win the lottery, I have so many plans for $$ in other peoples’ bank accounts.   Instead of juice, I started out my day the way I always do…talk about withdrawal issues. Thank goodness we braved the storm last night, fresh ground coffee is worth soaking wet… Read more >

ouch, SOOO sore

Monday = BLAH It figures it would rain pour all day.  After Saturday’s crazy long run and Sunday’s race, my leg muscles were struggling.  Let’s just say this week will be a serious taper week since next weekend is my HALF MARATHON!!!  You would have thought this weekend’s race would have calmed my nerves, but I think I am even MORE jittery and anxious now.  : / Java love + a whole lotta froth + toast with snb  = good morning! Since the weather was crap I couldn’t procrastinate any longer.  I was forced to… Read more >
