Another travel filled day (Mexico to Texas to New York). Sadly, I had to leave the warm, beautiful weather in Mexico (the fun had to end sometime). Even though I’m definitely NOT looking forward to returning to the icy New York climate, I AM ready for the rest of what Manhattan offers (namely the food). Sure, vacation was great, but 4 days was long enough. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m so sick of chips and salsa…That’s the thing about Mexico, there’s not much variety when dining. It’s weird how spoiled you can… Read more >

Today was quite the experimental cooking day. Lately, I’ve been salivating reading all my fellow bloggers’ delish recipes, not to mention jealous that I haven’t had time to sample the popular dishes on my own! Desperate to join in on the action and give my own reviews, I grabbed my chef hat and decided to seize the day… I don’t have Veganomicon, but if all goes well today, I may have to make a trip to Barnes & Noble. I started cooking in the AM, pretty much right after I woke up. Okay, actually I… Read more >

Good (hungover) morning! Thank god I pounded water before I went to bed last night and then slept in today, because after last night’s festivities, I needed sleep and hydration big time. I had SO much fun at the work holiday party. Drinking and dancing with the whole cardiac surgery team in a fun (non hospital) environment was a complete blast. The biggest shocker, though, is how SORE I am today! I danced for maybe half and hour, but since I was in heels, I guess I was using different muscles? My quads are aching…. Read more >

Peace out real world! I only have this last week of work and then we are off to Europe!! I am so excited, I will hardly be able to focus at work…I packed my lunch the night before: apple, odwalla bar (superfood flavor), raisins, and a big ‘ol sandwich.I’m trying to use up the last of things in the fridge before we go, which means I’m getting creative in my sandwich choices. Broccoli slaw (in lieu of lettuce), ff greek yogurt and mustard with smart deli “turkey” …and then more mustard (in an attempt to… Read more >

It’s an apple!!! Wow, I am talented! I have been practicing on my frothing technique, and this is the first design that really looks cool 🙂 I used mostly skim plus (1/3 cup) with just a touch of vanilla “creamer.” Today started off with a nice snooze. No complaints there. After yesterday’s neverending shift, I didn’t feel the least bit guilty for sleeping in. After my coffee (a new blend from starbucks…more details later) I hit up the gym and ran for 60 minutes. I was feeling really pumped since I took yesterday off from… Read more >
