I consider myself an expert in two areas. Hummus Granola Hippie staples, right? I make damn good versions of both, but when it comes right down to it, certain brands can do wondrous things, thereby blowing my own creations out of the water. We all know which hummus brand I prefer (I’m fairly transparent on the blog – hint: rhymes with jabra). [Truthfully, I don’t think our fridge has been without Sabra. Ever.] But until recently, I preferred my own quinoa granola to almost every store bought kind on the market. This recipe gets… Read more >

Maybe it’s because I’m a nut job myself. Or maybe it’s because I prefer things that are based on formulas and bound by rules. But whatever the reason, I have a very hard time with crazy people.* *I’m using this term in the clinical sense. I truly think psych nurses are 10% human and 90% saints. I don’t know how they do it. In case you couldn’t guess, there have been some real characters in the hospital lately. Anyway. I’m so behind in posting my work meals, I’m just gonna photo bomb you all and… Read more >

I hit the bagel sammie jackpot with this one. What you’ll need: Udi’s GF bagels Artisana’s raw cashini butter LightLife’s organic smokey tempeh strips organic egg First you toast the bagel. I store mine in the freezer, though, so I had to thaw it first, then toast it. If you’re lazy (or in need of a breakfast bagel stat) you can nuke it in the micro for 20 seconds before putting it in the toaster. Then you spread cashini butter on one half of the bagel. I love the flavor of this stuff,… Read more >

Despite feigning concern about aging, I really don’t care about sharing how old I am. Kyle is younger (and he enjoys reminding me of it), but I am healthy and happy and have enjoyed my 20’s so there’s no reason for me to pretend that adding another candle to my cake is some big stressful occasion. It’s a happy one! How did I celebrate my birthday? First of all, I slept in. Way in. And even though I felt a bit guilty about it, I told myself I was allowed to do whatever I… Read more >

I worked Saturday, but had Sunday and Monday off. Wee! Let’s fly through Saturday so I can show the fun stuff. I got up at 4:30 am to work out. It was mediocre since I had a headache. I don’t know that my heart rate got up since there wasn’t any cardio going on, but I did some weight stuff, resistance bands, and yoga/stretching for 30 minutes. My headache disappeared once I drank a few glasses of water (and a mug of almond milk/coffee). My half-caf-java was followed by the above breakfast of vanilla soy… Read more >
