I woke up at 10 today. Wow. Haven’t done that in a while. I wanted to sleep in so badly though, so I will consider it a success. I passed the AM with a lot of drinks. Mocha. Tea. Pee. Pee. Pee. “Empty yourself and let the universe fill you.” Check 😉 For those who asked, here’s the recipe for the “cheeze” sauce I made yesterday: 12 oz. silken tofu (the entire box) 2 tbsp nutritional yeast unmeasured amounts of salt 1 tsp miso paste dash of paprika Try it! So good. Anyways, I had… Read more >

I made a Mexi-kale salad for lunch. Sure, I just coined the term, but I think it fits. On top of the kale was wakame seaweed, butternut squash, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and some salsa (added later so it wouldn’t sogg-ify). Yes, I realize the involvement of seaweed in a south-of-the-border themed salad may be a bit of a stretch, but can’t I just claim poetic license on this one? To complete the (admittedly weak) Mexi theme, I also had a baggy of Brad’s Blues All Natural blue corn tortilla chips which added the perfect… Read more >

Working on the holidays isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I realize there are worse things (like being a patient). So I tried to make the most of it, and celebrated regardless. I was working with my fave co-RNs, too, which helped make the day fun, rather than depressing. Last night, in an effort to get to bed on time, I threw this lunch together way too fast. I’d like to blame the lack of groceries on my desire to save $$ and use up what’s currently in the deepest depths of the pantry,… Read more >

My parents were in town this weekend! :D They arrived Saturday in the wee early hours and left yesterday (Tuesday afternoon)…and although they were only here for four days (two of which I had to work 12 hour shifts) we still had so much fun. I was definitely sad to see them go, but I feel pretty lucky that I was able to see them at all. As I’m sure you’ve heard/read by now, the East Coast weather wasn’t so kind this weekend. Saturday and Sunday were quite the snow-filled days, which were BEYOND brrrrr… Read more >

Doing three (12 hour) shifts in a row is my least fave thing to do. I avoid it like the plague swine flu. However, my parents are coming into town today (yipeeeeee!!!), so I had to get all my work out of the way so I could have the weekend off :) It was an especially rough stretch because I only had one day off between my last weekend of chaos and this 72 hour stint. No matter. Ready for all my work lunches: Tuesday Salad, bars, Whole Foods’ spelt pretz, carrots, apples, and tea… Read more >
