This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

Monday Monday Monday. In nursing, there isn’t really the same stigma for the various days of the week because every day is (potentially) a work day. Fridays don’t mean the next two days are off. Wednesdays aren’t a half way mark. And Mondays aren’t the first day back after a break. So why do Mondays still have that baggage for me? Probably because spending the weekends with both my boys are so awesome. And I hate that it has to end. I also usually do grocery shopping on Mondays and I truly have come to… Read more >

Another fun one. Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette. It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings. No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly. And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much. Clearly. But that means easy lunch leftovers. Before is above, after is below. Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again. I’m a… Read more >

My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >

Kyle’s on his way home! Weee! After an eternity on my own, I’m re-he-he-heeeeally looking forward to his return. [edited to add: the van broke down and he’s stuck in Albuquerque sorting out the game plan to fix it, so who knows what this means for his return home] Let me just photo bomb you with some recent meals… Carrots, green grapes, Mary’s Gone crackers, Redwood Hill Farm smoked cheddar goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, local smoked almonds (from the Co-op). Very smoke-y, very yummy. Ditto goes for the almonds. Carrots, Mary’s Gone crackers, candied walnuts,… Read more >
