big salad

Oven obsessed

I have literally been living at the office hospital.  And yet, somehow I have managed to churn out heaps of produce in the few hours I have been home.  Seriously, our apartment is where produce comes to die (death by baking anyone?).  Wanna see a few of my success stories (if you said no…well…tough sh!t).  😉 FINALLY!!  (I think kale chips have been on my to-make list for a year now).  It’s about damn time, Elise. Massaged with cooking spray, nooch, and salt (like, a LOT of salt), then baked at 350 for 10-15 minutes. … Read more >

(extra long) Sigh.

What a short lived break.  Having only one day off of work was such a tease.  So back to the hospital I went. The usual crew of lunchables: salad with a lot of greenery, roasted carrots with cranz, Spiced Pumpkin Pie Clif bar (why does this have to be seasonal, it’s SO good), PB cookie Larabar (best flavor, definitely, best flavor), TWO apples (not baby horse ones, these are the big bad boys), dried pineapple and pears. Foggy bag much?  By the way, I’m completely obsessed with roasting carrots into fries.  I could easily go… Read more >

Tupperware tupperwhere?

I woke up this morning and found that Kyle had left me a note. Obviously these vegan, gluten free, agave sweetened brownies satisfied my boy’s taste buds! Poor guy was at the office until the wee hours of the night (long after I went to bed), so when he got home he went to town on the remaining baked goods. Thanks to his note, I got a good laugh in as I headed off to work. Packed lunchables.  Yes, TWO apples today.  Honestly, I feel like I should bring in more, but my reputation on… Read more >

Just add peanut butter

I had probably THE worst night last night.  “Que paso” you ask?  Well, the abbreviated version goes something like this: boy catches cold, cold causes hideous symptoms, symptoms keep girl up all night, girl sleeps on couch.  Boo.  I stumbled back into the bedroom after Kyle left for work, and (fortunately) managed to fall back asleep.  Unfortunately, I unknowingly turned off my alarm somewhere in the bed-to-couch-to-bed process.  I woke up just before noon, very confused, and very annoyed.  I immediately got to work on a very frothy cup of coffee and a very cinnamon-y… Read more >

The massive recap that never ends

Seriously, I hope I’m not boring you all, but this trip home was so epic, that even the Cliff’s notes version is miles long… I guess I will continue from where I left off (Saturday PM). Since the Nike half marathon started at 7 am (and I had no desire to commute into the city before that ungodly hour) I stayed at my sister’s apartment the night before.  At least something positive came out of last month’s half marathon pre-race disaster (i.e. 4 am wake up calls are NOT conducive to a happy hippie).  Spooning… Read more >
