Yes. I have it. And although flair ups have been minimal since I’ve been vegan, I DO still have days when I feel like caca (ironically, from the absence of it). TMI? Sorry. Usually these days are brought on by stress, and as much as I try to avoid it (with my nice planned out schedules), sometimes life throws a wrench in it. Unavoidable. Deal. This weekend, with my 3 shifts in a row schedule, I had to make like Tim Gunn and “make it work.” Comfort foods, aplenty. Review: not too shabby in a… Read more >

My breakfast was a bit out of the ordinary. Coffee, normal. Open faced grilled cheese, not normal? On the side, I had two apples, which complimented the VeganRella mozz perrrrrfectly. Crunch + melty = great (albeit bizarre) breakfast For lunch I made a tofu salad with a new twist on a fave recipe. The last time I made this was a big success, so I recreated it, but with a few changes (less mayo, more tofu, brocc slaw instead of celery, shredded carrots instead of chopped). The result was just as successful. I had it… Read more >

Now that’s it’s “summer” we have been sleeping with the bedroom windows open, but the thunder and lightning were so INSANE last night, I had to channel my inner Von Trapp and sing “My Favorite Things” to calm myself down…it was scary! It woke me up it was so loud. And just so you know, normally I sleep like a rock, so this was no joke. Clearly I had a rough night’s sleep – enter coffee 🙂 These are a few of my favorite things… Peach chobz (not as good as blueberry) and a bowl… Read more >

I thought it was Friday all day…so confused. Whatever, Thursday means The Office, so it’s all good. 5 AM. Frothed me some coffee…and then I was off to work! Since I was running crazy late, I had this little baby on the way to work. For the record, I do NOT enjoy eating on the subway, especially when I’m drenched from my rainy mad dash to the station. As usual, I made my lunch the night before to bring to work, which included a hugh jass salad of spinach, brocc slaw, shredded carrots, cherry… Read more >

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 >
