Cancelled plans, One Lucky Duck

Were you all on the edge of your seat over today’s lunch surprise?  :)  Probably NOT since it’s no secret I’ve been after these elusive PB&J Larabars forever!  These were NOTHING short of perfection.  I have no clue how they do it, but these bars truly do taste just like peanut butter and jelly sammiches.  Even the smell when I unwrapped it took me back to my school lunches from back in the day.  I’m in love.  Good thing I bought a few…these babies were harder to track down than Bin Laden (but much more… Read more >

Happy-ending salad

I’m in a sassy little mood, hence the non-PG title.  You’ll see what I am referring to with today’s dinner…(I hope?) But first, I’m going to rewind to Sunday night.  Because of the ree-dik bus ride back from Atlantic City, I was too lazy upload photos…so sorry for the delay…I know you all were on edge waiting for me to reveal the night’s eats, right?  Well, don’t get too excited, I had a pretty lame-a$$ meal. On the left: broccoli salad, shredded carrot, and tofu scramble.  On the right: steamed veggies with avocado.  ZOOM you… Read more >

I love Lucy

And fruit.  And cooking.  And cooking delish vegan food for non-vegans.  This weekend I was able to enjoy all of these things.  So much to say!  Let’s back up to when the fun began…Friday. I was craving fruit like nobody’s business. No really. I think I made my point, yes? Kiwis are so sexy!  They are one of the prettiest fruits, I think.  So after I digested my fruit baby 😉 Kyle and I packed our bags and peaced out.  Greyhound tix in hand, we boarded the bus…Atlantic City baby!!!  My enthusiasm lasted all of… Read more >

All I want is peace(food)

I worked both days this weekend.  So on Saturday, while everyone else was frolicking in the sun, I was dealing with my patient who decided she was through with the hospital, and removed her own chest tube.  Don’t worry, she’s fine (physically at least…psych-wise I’m still on the fence). Anyways.  Yummy pre-packed food includes: raisin/almond/cashew/carob chip mix, dried mango/papaya, Tribe hummus mini-tub, apple, raw salad, and some bars. Odwalla Superfood (I heart every green millimeter of this flavor) and a Cashew Cookie Larabar (also a favorite). The rest of the day flew by uneventfully (just… Read more >

Wacked out day

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple.  Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick.  Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come.  Wha?!  I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho.  No bueno.  I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too.  Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >
