This is the rainbow lunch mish mash that I heaped on my plate Saturday. On the bottom is a cauliflower “pizza crust” which is topped with cabbage slaw with home-made mayo + lemon caper dressing, avocado, and nutritional yeast. Ugly as it looks, it was one of the best things I ate all weekend. But then there was this dinner. It took no time at all and was pretty awesome.

Pretty much my breakfast all week. Except for this one. With nomnompaleo’s cinnamon banana coconut pancakes. Thanks for the suggestion Ttrockwood. 🙂 Hipster babe. Brussels before and after. I used this recipe and it’s my new favorite way to eat ze sprouts. For the record, I’m not a picky one with the cruciferous category (I love all my greens in sickness and in health), but Kyle is and he loved them too…so if that’s any indication of the yum factor, there you go. omgomgomgomgomg [fingers crossed] You all know about that whole… Read more >

For all the recipes I find in cookbooks, magazines, and blogs, I don’t make very many! I’d say they serve as inspiration mostly. My taste preferences usually then guide me in tweaking things to make them how I want them. But in the past few months I’ve been drawing blanks in my kitchen (I crave nothing and because of this I cannot for the life of me create menus in advance). So basically I have been (a) remaking my faves over and over (and over) again; and (b) (finally) making things I’ve starred from these… Read more >

Hey! I’m alive! Ish. This week was crazy. [Life is crazy] So many emotions. Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing. Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another. And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another. All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit. I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that). Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

I know everyone loves summer produce, so why bother write a love letter to strawberries? We all love berries and melon and corn right? Right. Another present from my neighbor. I’m going to make ginger lemonade with the juicer. My own garden is doing pretty well too! Left to right: lime tree, spinach, tomato, parsley & basil. And then there’s the other greens… Kale and chard (in mega need of thinning out). I had my first salad with them last week. This delightful lunch time salad had home-grown kale and chard topped… Read more >
