Eggs & Avo

For reals, this duo is like the new A-list couple.  Except instead of being featured all over E! it’s my camera’s memory card that’s reached capacity.  Brangelina can suck it, this pair has beauty and brains.  Well, not really, but whatever.    For the past week, I’ve been eating avocado and eggs in every form I can imagine.  This sandwich was one I created a few weeks ago and it just keeps coming back.  That’s how you know when a recipe is a real winner.   hard boiled eggs honey mustard dijon mustard butternut squash… Read more >

Progress

Hey look!  An office! Now my crap is actually semi-organized. Kyle was getting really tired of seeing FODMAPs research articles and GI studies piled up all over our old apartment, so he gifted me some file cabinets in the “office” of our new place.  Such a romantic, that one. As you can see, the casa is coming along quite nicely. Our extra bedroom is big enough to double as an office and workout room.  And guest bedroom, of course. While unpacking we found a box of electronics that would make Steve Jobs roll over in… Read more >

Snacks & the City

That last post had some pretty scenery from the weekend, but not a lot of eats.  Here’s a recap of last weekend at home, in food format. To start the road trip off on the right foot, I got a big kale, spinach, beet, carrot, and ginger juice.  Pink pee is especially fun when you’ve been holding your bladder for 4 hours.  We stopped twice on the drive home and arrived in L-town just in time for dinner.  I had a pumpkin Bolani and salad. The next morning we slept in, which meant coffee and… Read more >

Hungry Hungry

These past few days my appetite has been ravenous.  [I haven’t done any form of exercise, though, so it’s definitely odd.  But my body is far from normal, so I just went with it.]   Take breakfast for instance, usually a tupperware of oatmeal with the fixins will hold me over pretty well. But I had this before I left for the hospital and was already hungry for my next meal by the time my shift started at 7 am.  WTF? I had a banana and breakfast cookie and praised the Lord when I saw… Read more >

Millet meals

This week’s grain was millet. It’s small, gluten free, and has a cornbread like taste. I make it in the rice cooker, like I do with everything else, using the same water to grain ratio as rice, quinoa, and couscous.  Honestly, it’s impossible to mess things up in a rice cooker. This one just so happened to be especially on the money…because when I went to scoop it into a tupperware it came out as easy as could be, no spoon required.  Literally. This is from flipping the bowl upside down.  I actually attempted to… Read more >
