I probably make or pack Kyle’s lunches 75% of the time. He only eats on campus a few days a week and every once in a while it aligns with my work days. Which means… I can pack both of our food the night before and kill two birds with one stone. His differ in that they often have cheese and packaged health bars, but otherwise they are very similar. I made his salad with spinach, tomatoes, falafel, sunflower seeds, and parmesan. While mine had quinoa instead of cheese. My breakfast… Read more >

Umm, I still have last week’s food on my computer. Sooo, that’s weird. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged an entire day’s eats (so many recipes!). Why not share 24 hours full of food? [or whatever portion of the day I was awake] I woke up at 4:30 for work because I’m crazy and like shorting myself an hour of sleep to exercise before I’m on my feet for 12 hours straight. Helloooo sarcasm. On the way to work (at 6:25 am) I enjoyed a [raw] Cardamom Almond Biscotti by TwinCakes Bakery. I… Read more >

Each day when I get to work I am assigned a cell phone with my own extension (all the nurses and care partners are). I have the phone with me for all 12 hours of my shift. Everyone has my number. Everyone. Sometimes, it’s a bit much. Case in point… Radiology: Is patient X able to come down for his PA/LAT now? Does he need oxygen? Any isolation? Patient room: Can I get pain meds? Lab: Critical value for patient Y, their PTT is 121 [yikes!] Pharmacy: The medication order for patient Z needs clarification,… Read more >

My meals have been pretty bizarre lately so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have no clue how this meal was born. It came out of nowhere and makes no sense. At first I thought I wanted sweet oats (my normal breakfast thang). But then I saw some leftover tofu and said to myself “why not!” I added chai tea to my oats along with half the block of tofu and mashed them all up together. Then I figured to go full on savory and add in some veggies, nutritional yeast, and Bragg’s… Read more >

The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >
