zucchini

Marching on…

I would just like to say how awesome it is entering the subway at 5:45 am in darkness and reemerging to a glorious sunrise.  Light in the morning!  Can I get a hell yeah? Anyways, here are my eats, pre-packed and ready for the trek to the hospital… Apples, salad, carrots, hummus, and bars (PB&J Dipped MoJo bar, Super Protein Odwalla bar, and the latest PranaBar flavor to rock my world).  In zee salad: spinach, steamed brocc, zucch, sesame/seaweed salad, and dried cranz. My feelings about the Cranberry Goji Supercharger PranaBar cannot be masked.  Effing… Read more >

Mother Nature must be mad

Can you believe this weather?  Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant.  There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today.  Brrr.  I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty. The big boy on the left contained spinach, steamed zucchini, carrots, brocc, chopped celery, chickpeas, and dried cranz.  Holy ingredients.  The smaller side tupperware had delicata squash (I finally found it again! yes!!) with raisins. Do… Read more >

Dessert three times a day

Cough-E & a Caramel Apple Diggin’ the froth?  Do it!  Do the Stonyfield people know that their Oikos greek yogurt is borderline sinful when combined with apples?  Caramel apples for breakfast with NO guilt whatsoever?  Uh, that gets two thumbs up.  Now that’s a dessert that Gigi can start her day with, controversy free.  Maybe.  Lunch was so boring, I almost don’t want to show it.  Boca vegan burgers open faced on Vermont soft wheat bread with Tribe roasted red pepper hummus.  You can’t go wrong when combining bread and hummus, so as basic as this… Read more >

Pearly whites & snowy nights

After my sophisticated breakfast of an apple and frothy cup of coffee, I headed to the dentist’s office for a routine cleaning.  Since I was in midtown, I met up with Kyle after my appointment to show off my sparkling new pearly whites.  I owe my cavity free chompers to these babies.  Kyle and I went for a little stroll before he returned to work. Entering through Artisan’s Gate (Central Park South and 7th Ave)… A crossroads in The Park (if there’s ever a park to be capitalized and deemed “THE” park, it should be… Read more >

On my laurels

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time.  I didn’t exercise.  I hardly cooked.  To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well).  If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me.  I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin   How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >
