While you were sleeping

I was working.  And eating.  Here’s three shifts-worth of food.   Tuesday night: spinach, carrots, quinoa and eggs (topped in Bragg’s and nooch) baby carrots tamari roasted almonds Udi’s bread with Artisana cashew-tahini butter Kettle Pop organic kettle corn Not much to say here.  It tasted like kettle corn.  Duh.   Wednesday night: brown rice, spinach, and Sunshine veggie burger (original) baby carrots Inka Chips sweet plantain chips So good!  Even though the whole bag is considered 3 servings (which I obviously ignored and treated as a single serving), the nutritional info is still not bad….

Savory madness

If there are typos in this post it’s because I’m running on 1/8th a tank.  I just worked three night shifts in a row (not pretty) and now I’m attempting to write and bake a new gluten free bread following no recipe.  We will see how this post turns out soon enough, but I’ll have to wait ‘til tomorrow to see how the bread tastes. In the meantime, I’m going to attempt to make a savory oat believer out of the 50% of you who still refuse to give it a shot.   C’mon, doesn’t… Read more >

Ta Ta Time Warner

ADD post coming your way!   Home-made maple glazed nuts and tortilla chips have been on repeat in the hippie household.  Our oven is eventually going to need to be tested on something more substantial than snack food.  I’ve been eating breakfast for every meal.  Oats for dinner.  Granola for lunch.  Pancakes for breakfast.  Repeat.  It’s probably because I’m on night shifts this week so my body doesn’t know morning from evening.    Yes, that’s a new granola recipe.  Wait for it.   This new flavor of Zevia (strawberry!!) gave me such bad GERD I… Read more >

A veggie’s best friend

At the end of the day I want simple but delicious.  Fresh fare is my preference, but sometimes it’s not in the cards.  Enter: the freezer. There are a lot of negative associations with frozen food, but done right they can be your best friend. Leftovers – any time you make a lasagnas or casseroles, make WAY more than you will eat and portion the extras into tupperware.  By freezing 2/3 of the dish from the get-go you preserve the freshness of the dish and guarantee yourself a future home cooked meal. Baked goods –… Read more >

Missing motivation

I seem to be unable to motivate myself to run.  I think I have the reverse problem from the rest of society…as soon as I sign up for a race I lose all inspiration to train.  I’m OCD enough to eke out some willpower, but forced running is not fun running.  I know myself, so I know the difference between being bored with my running route and being bored with running in any form.  Boredom is not my problem.  Motivation is.  I’m missing my running mojo. The difference between the old Elise and the person… Read more >
