I have literally been living at the office hospital. And yet, somehow I have managed to churn out heaps of produce in the few hours I have been home. Seriously, our apartment is where produce comes to die (death by baking anyone?). Wanna see a few of my success stories (if you said no…well…tough sh!t). 😉 FINALLY!! (I think kale chips have been on my to-make list for a year now). It’s about damn time, Elise. Massaged with cooking spray, nooch, and salt (like, a LOT of salt), then baked at 350 for 10-15 minutes. … Read more >

Friday Woke up at 4:30 am for a 7 am train departure.

Hey HEY Hey! Long time no see… I know, my bad. I didn’t mean to leave you high and dry, but sometimes I get soopah stressed. When that happens, unfortunately, the blog is the first to take a seat on the sidelines… It all started to pile up last weekend.

I’m all about VeganMoFo. October is already my favorite month, so I was delighted to read Gena’s latest post and find out that there is yet ANOTHER reason to smile now that it’s October. I mean, why not dedicate an entire month to celebrating a healthy lifestyle! In honor of this special Vegan Month Of Food, in each post I am going to reveal a celebrity who is vegan. Today’s vegan celeb was someone I was QUITE surprised about…I mean after years of torturing himself for entertainment purposes, who would ever have expected STEVE-O to… Read more >
