I had work the past two days, so this may get a bit repetitive…packed lunches as always. Dried fruit, Larabar, Clif bar, dried fruit & nuts (?), hummus, raw salad, apple. Read on for the deets. Lately I’ve been trying to branch out and dabble in the raw/food combining world, and I have to say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how positive the results have been. Even though I have proclaimed myself anti-nuts in the past and vehemently refused to budge on the issue, for some reason I have been on a nut kick lately. … Read more >

Even with a huge cup of frothy coffee, the morning still sucked. After reading that Sarah decided it was time to bow out of the food blog world (darn creepers stalking her lovin family) I knew I needed something more substantial than my normal cup of joe! So I dried my tears and busted out the blender. This Amazing Grass smoothie contained half a plain greek yogurt (Chobani of course), half a frozen banana, almond milk, and a chocolate-y packet of lawn shavings. I stirred melon and dried cranberries into the rest of the… Read more >

I was sloshing the morning away with all this liquid love. I’m a certified Amazing-Grass-a-holic. Chocolate luuurrve. By the way, this smoothie was made with frozen bananas and plain greek yog, and was the BEST version yet. I wish my blender actually crushed ice the way blenders are supposed to…for some reason I keep getting to the bottom of my “blended” drinks to discover 4 ice cubes balls with the corners knicked off…I guess I’ll just have to make do with this one until next summer because we have no room in our kitchen (or… Read more >

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, which can be transferred, but never created nor destroyed. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe always increases. The third law of thermodynamics implies that it is impossible to cool a system all the way to exactly absolute zero. Sure, it may seem weird to start a post with a science lesson, but like most other things in life, it can also be applied to food… 1. Heat is a form of energy?! Hell yeah it is!… Read more >

I arrived at work today to find out we were overstaffed on our unit, and as the lowest RN on the totem pole, I was the sucker that had to float to a different floor. Work FAIL. I was a bit nervous since I am a one trick pony very familiar with the cardiac ICU, but haven’t really ventured elsewhere outside the acute setting. But rather than boo hoo all the way to my new assignment, I was a good sport about it, and decided to make it an educational day. Welcome to the Neuro… Read more >
