Each day when I get to work I am assigned a cell phone with my own extension (all the nurses and care partners are). I have the phone with me for all 12 hours of my shift. Everyone has my number. Everyone. Sometimes, it’s a bit much. Case in point… Radiology: Is patient X able to come down for his PA/LAT now? Does he need oxygen? Any isolation? Patient room: Can I get pain meds? Lab: Critical value for patient Y, their PTT is 121 [yikes!] Pharmacy: The medication order for patient Z needs clarification,… Read more >

Oops! I nearly deleted these pics before I realized I never shared the recipe with you guys! Sorry for this long overdue post from a meal that I made two weeks ago. I always forget to use almond butter in savory meals because for some weird reason I associate it with sweet dishes. Probably because I prefer sweet dishes. Especially in my morning oats, which is when I most frequently reach for nut butters in general. Not this time! My parents were out for the evening (because they have a better social life than I… Read more >

Soooo, I’m back on night shifts for the week. 🙁 In an effort to get my sleep schedule as off whack as possible, I stayed up ‘til 1 am on Monday night and slept in ‘til 9 am on Tuesday. I had big plans to watch the US Open all day long, but the NYC weather didn’t get the memo. Instead I had tea with almond milk and continued my Ally McBeal marathon. Livin’ large guys. Breakfast: quinoa with strawberries, bananas, cinnamon and peanut butter Since starting out on the low FODMAPS journey, I’ve been… Read more >

My meals have been pretty bizarre lately so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have no clue how this meal was born. It came out of nowhere and makes no sense. At first I thought I wanted sweet oats (my normal breakfast thang). But then I saw some leftover tofu and said to myself “why not!” I added chai tea to my oats along with half the block of tofu and mashed them all up together. Then I figured to go full on savory and add in some veggies, nutritional yeast, and Bragg’s… Read more >

I’m sorry but I’m not sorry that I took a mini-break from blogging… I go through these lulls from time to time…and I don’t want to recap my triathlon experience until I’m really good and ready…so I’ll wait until the mood strikes. Until then, here’s today’s work lunch. Ensalada with Amy’s Bistro Burger, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and tomatoes. Kyle had some friends over for a BBQ this weekend, so I swooped on the leftover grilled corn in the fridge to make my salad even more exciting. Crunchy! It was good… Read more >
