I know you guys don’t believe me, but working on Christmas Day is not that bad. I mean, obviously I’d prefer to spend the morning in my PJs cozied up by the fireplace, opening presents with my family. But don’t worry, I still made sure it was a festive day at the hospital. After all, my patients need cheer on the 25th too. It also helps that I happen to love my job. And in the back of my mind I know that eventually I will be higher on the totem pole and get the… Read more >

You didn’t work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I didn’t really mind it, since I got to celebrate early with my family. On the 24th, I woke up early to sweat out a quick 20 minute Shred, which I followed up with a hearty tupperware full of overnight oats. I used 1/2 cup rolled oats and then mixed in an almost equal portion of canned pumpkin with only an itty bit of water. This created a crazy thick consistency as it “gelled” overnight. Other goodies included Tropical Traditions shredded coconut, dried cherries, and NuNatural liquid… Read more >

Breakfast. Froth. Pumpkin coconut oats. Lunch. Whole wheat pita with faux “tuna” salad and roasted red pepper hummus. This is a new brand of pitas and I couldn’t be more in love. The fluffier, the better. Snacks. Three Sisters Cinnamon Sweets. Enjoy Life Boom Choco Boom bar. Do you really not know what this is? I totally Top Chef marathon-ed it for most of the day. With many chocolate breaks. How a hippie eats a Reese’s vegan fudge peanut butter cup. *Note: you may want tea for between bites because this is one rich dessert…. Read more >

In case you want a visual image with the post title, as you say it picture me snapping my fingers across my body with some serious sass. And now roll your eyes. Ah well, we can’t all be divas. Nonetheless, my week’s work eats have been nothing short of amazing. From drab… To fab. 🙂 On top of the quinoa, I chopped up the fattest pear I’ve ever seen (I’m not even exaggerating, it was a beastly looking fruit), and then some crushed cashews. Not just plain cashews though. I put them in a baggy,… Read more >

Shout out to anyone who recognizes this title (and picture). Too bad VHS tape players are basically extinct because this is a classic as far as I’m concerned. And now, may I present to you, our island of misfit toys… Sad, but true, these do not get used often enough. I have no excuse. It’s something I’m pretty ashamed to admit actually. So I hereby vow to use both the slow cooker and the juicer once a week. Do we have a deal? Good. The inspiration for this crock-pot soup came from here. All I… Read more >
