Does granola necessarily mean oats? Or grains? I read that buckwheat is a fruit the other day. Hmmmm…I know it’s not related to wheat and I know it’s not a grass…eh, whatever [too lazy to google]. Ok so I made these bars and I’m not really sure if they count as granola or not, but if you feel like the ingredients list suits you, then go ahead and give them a shot. And then send me a new recipe name suggestion. 🙂 The recipe is allergy friendly, and has no nuts, eggs,… Read more >

Remember the choose your own adventure books? Ah, the good ‘ol days. I don’t remember finding them remotely good or interesting, but it was still fun to pick which direction you wanted the story to go. This “risotto” is kinda like that, in that it’s a blank slate, waiting for you to make it your own. Here’s why it’s “risotto” in quotation marks (and not real risotto). I used two grains (brown rice and buckwheat) in it. From what I understand about risotto, it’s a pain in the ass to make and you basically… Read more >

I had to divide this into eight (8!!) portions to grind. 16 ounces of Starbucks Christmas blend later I had grounds from wall to wall in the kitchen and my hands were permeated with the delicious aroma of java. Good thing you can’t absorb caffeine intradermally. Or can you? I just found out our apartment in Buenos Aires has a coffee maker. I’m SO looking forward to Argentinean roasts. Can you tell my one-track-mind is completely vacation focused? I still have a couple more work shifts, so I’m doing everything I can to keep my… Read more >

This photo really doesn’t give an accurate picture of my day’s eats because it looks the same as all my other days of pre-packed meals. I had a rough morning (no workout, only 1/2 a cup of coffee) made rougher by the fact that my patients were not doing well. I had one person trying to code on me (HR 40s, SBP 180s, O2 70s) while another was trying to get to the bathroom to throw up (with his broken & non-weight-bearing L hip). I basically had to ignore the puking patient and get my… Read more >

My Thursday started at 4:20 am. [I always change my alarm to a different time, so I actually think this was a 4:24 day] I wasn’t really feeling very Jillian-esque, so I zoned out to Most Eligible Dallas while pumping iron in my living room. [pumping iron = minimal reps with 3 lb dumbbells] I had pancakes for breakfast before work. [I’m not superwoman, I made these in advance, see below] As usual, I had my work eats all ready to go, including a buckwheat breakfast, a mixed leftovers salad, two Enjoy Life… Read more >
