Hello, hello! You may have noticed I took an unintended but highly rejuvenating five-day break from the Internet world – other than updating my Instagram with my vacation eats, beach yoga poses, and overall Mexico awesomeness, I was MIA from blogtown and it felt good. Vacations are a reminder...

Hi, beauties! Writing to you today from the stunningly beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! I couldn’t possibly be happier to be on this beachfront paradise with the people who mean the most to me – my family. I have been running all over the place for the last week,...

Hey guys, it’s Wednesday… which means that lovely day of the week has rolled around where I tell you about what I eat in a day. It’s a fun way for me to share my vegan lifestyle with all of you and to link up with other bloggers in...

I’ve never been a huge pancake person – the fluffy, cakey, bready texture just never quite did it for me. The only pancakes I enjoyed eating (and actually loved) were my dad’s pancakes, which were more like really thin crepes than they were actual pancakes. When I was little...

Ever since I started this blog over the summer, something has become abundantly clear to me. Rather than promoting veganism, I strive to promote learning to listen to your own body to find the style of eating that works best for you. Each individual body is different, and my...

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! Tomorrow is St. Paddy’s Day, and we all know what that means – lots of mint, lots of green, lots of Irish kisses, and lots of beer. I can roll with the first three, but beer is not my favorite thing. If I’m...

You know how I’m feeling today? TGI…WRF! Thank God it’s (Workout Recap) Friday. For some reason it was one of those weeks where I thought Tuesday was Wednesday, Wednesday was Thursday and Thursday was Friday. Anyone else feel that way this week? Usually it’s a pretty unanimous feeling. I’ve...

I’ll be the first to admit it. I have an extreme personality. I’m either all in or I’m all out. When I’m interested in something, I simply cannot get enough of it until I am immersed in it from all angles. When I’m not interested in something, I tune...

You all know that my obsession with granola runs deep. First it was Whole Foods Chia Ginger Superfood cereal, then it was my mom’s homemade granola recipe, then it was a few local Upstate New York brands, and now it’s Laurie’s Granola Creations “Happens to be Healthy” granola. Happens...

Hey, guys. Happy Sunday! It’s my favorite day of the week. Sundays to me signify sleeping in, relaxation, long runs (it’s the “Long Slow Run” day of my training), grocery shopping (favorite activity – dork alert), writing, yoga, me time and usually a quiet dinner with friends. Yesterday I...

Two Part Post alert! This is what happens when you have an ultra busy week. Today we are going to talk about brownies AND a workout recap – and because the brownies are so healthy, that’s not an oxymoron. First let’s talk about brownies. Actually, let’s talk about cookie...

Happy Tuesday, everyone! If you’ve been following along with my nutritionist journey for the last few weeks, you know that I made the decision to hop off the “green smoothie for breakfast every single morning no matter what” train for a little while. The reason I did this was...

Ok, the main thing I have to say about this recipe is that it’s chocolatey. Very chocolatey. Which, by the strict laws of association, means that it’s abso-frickin’-lutely delicious. If you’ve been reading my blog for the last few weeks you’ll know that I have been on a major Dessert...
