I roasted a bunch of chickpeas into oblivion today. But, I did still snack on a bunch of them (even in their charred state) as I was cooking dinner so I wasn’t hungry when dinner actually rolled around. For din-din I made Spinach & Feta dip with Oikos yogurt… Ingredients: 1 small container plain Oikos, 1 cup frozen spinach, 1/4c…

My Little Cottage
I don’t know what happened but I hadn’t eaten cottage cheese in months and then recently “rediscovered” it and now want to eat it for breakfast everyday! I’m going to switch it up tomorrow since I’m doing vegan Thursday tomorrow as part of Vegan Week. Yes, I know it’s supposed to be a whole week, but I don’t think that’s…

Walk in the Dark
I took an afternoon walk today at 5pm. It was dark. That makes me sad 🙁 But, this new granola cereal makes me happy 🙂 A little too happy actually. Note to self: Granola should not be eaten by the handful out of a box like it’s air or out of a cereal bowl like it’s Rice Krispies. It’s granola….

Review: Food and Loathing
I read “Food and Loathing” a few years back, but decided to take it on the road trip this weekend to read it again. The last time I read it I was in therapy for disordered eating (B.E.D. mostly) and I was in a very bad place with it. I don’t know if it affected me as much the first…

Back on Track
After a week while of indulging I am very frustrated with myself. I am constantly eating things I shouldn’t be — not because they are “Forbidden Foods” (I have released all foods to be allowed) but because I am eating because I’m tired, lonely, bored or out of habit. I really want to get back on track with the Intuitive…

Portable Restroom
Sunday morning we woke up and took a walk around Emily & Mark’s neighborhood in Portland, CT. It was so nice to get out and walk around after being in the car for so long yesterday. Before we went on the walk I ate Kashi with a banana and milk. I always bring cereal with me on road trips –…
