Meals and musings from a marvelous Monday… All together now: chia pudding/overnight oats, big salad with leftover quinoa, apple, apricot, WF ciabatta roll, Sabra hummus. I found these at Whole Foods and thought they’d be perfect for lunches. I usually bring a pita, tortilla, or a slice of sprouted bread to dip in hummus, but Ciabatta rolls sounded like the perfect change up. I had one for my first breakfast (pre-work eaten in my car) with almond butter. Second breakfast (eaten after grand rounds in the break room) was the last of the leftover chia… Read more >

Nothing too interesting going on in this casa. Simple weekend fun. I woke up at 8 feeling much better than yesterday (thanks for all the well wishes). It’s funny how every time I mention I’m not feeling well the first question people ask is “are you pregnant?” In fact, anytime anything remotely baby related comes up in conversation people think it’s appropriate to ask when I’m planning to have kids. I can’t even say “awww” to a cute little toddler without people assuming it means I’m getting ready for mommy mode. I don’t really mind… Read more >

So. Effing. Tasty. This was so much more simple than I thought it would be. I’m never buying granola again (yeah right), but still…I know what I like in my cereal so why wouldn’t I make it to my exact specifications? Right? My favorite things: 1. Clusters – textural variety is the most important part of cereal, oats, granola…shoot any food! 2. Crunch – none of this raw muesli bullsh!t, I want toasty! 3. Dried fruit and nuts – not one or the other, both. 4. Ratios – I like it when there are even… Read more >

Just wanted to let you know what is coming your way… Any guesses? I haven’t forgotten about my alphebruary challenge…I’m just behind in recipe sharing. This “q” treat, however, is VERY worth the wait. I know everyone was wondering how those weird letters were going to be – particularly q, w, x, and z. But shockingly, these haven’t even been my biggest obstacles. There are some surprisingly letters (i, o, u – for instance) with minimal food options. Damn vowels aside, I knew from day one of this month’s adventure that my q dish was… Read more >

When my alarm goes off in the morning, I get up immediately. I never hit snooze. Ever. So yesterday it went off at 4:25 am and I popped out of bed ready to start my day the best way I know how. However, after 46 seconds (give or take a few), I quickly came to the conclusion that working out was a bad idea. My head was a throbbing mess and my eyes were all puffy. [I have since discovered that I’m slightly allergic to the gorgeous bouquet Kyle got me for Valentine’s Day] So… Read more >
