Parade!


I’m currently sitting in my apartment attempting to re-write a paper while listening to the craziness of the Village Halloween Parade. Parades have never been my thing, but hearing people have crazy amounts of fun while you’re doing homework makes it hard to concentrate!!

This afternoon, I got my snack on with a whole wheat tortilla + salsa:


As well as a slice of sprouted toast with Earth Balance (x2) and a can of straight-up sauerkraut.



Sauerkraut = super random craving. I guess my body wanted salt after the run?

For dinner, I got my daily veggies in with a salad beast.


Tomato + cukes + carrots + romaine + whole mashed avocado + salsa + salt & pepper


With two whole wheat tortillas.


I always get comments inquiring about what kind of wraps I buy- I usually just get whatever brand has the cleanest ingredient list! These are Trader Joe’s Truly Handmade Whole-Wheat tortillas.

For dessert, I had two bowls of frozen grapes + dark chocolate.


As well as a few spoonfuls of this bad boy…


And a mug of homemade vegan hot chocolate.


Almond milk + spoonful of cocoa powder + sprinkle of cake spice + spoonful of agave

Back to work…hope you’re having a fun Halloween night!

Do you like parades? We used to go to a Fourth of July parade every year in my mom’s hometown, but I never really loved them. The Village parade is definitely a sight to see though!

I went to the Halloween Parade in NYC once and it was a crowded mess. Never again! I mean, it was an experience but something that only needs to be experienced once.

when i first moved to NYC in 98 i went to the village parade. i didn't like getting "caged in" and i think we got egged by some dudes in masks. maybe that's why i don't like halloween anymore!

I'm not a parade person, either. I like to watch Macy's T-givs day parade from my living room, but that's about it. And even then I think it's more about the tradition and seeing Santa Claus at the end, than actually wanting to watch the parade :P Too many people!
I have been busting out the homemade hot cocoa lately, too. I have yet to make the perfect cup, thougH!

Ahh I totally know what you mean - I was listening to people having fun all weekend while I was studying. It was the worst!

The only parade I've gone to recently is our Homecoming parade. It's pretty lame, but I still love it!

I've heard so much about the NYC Halloween parade, I'd love to check it out one of these years! I do enjoy parades - especially the ones in Disney World :) Mummers? Not so much...
