Saturday and Sunday were weekend warrior status for me (boo). I work every 3rd weekend at the hospital which is a nice change from my previous jobs that were every other. I guess that’s one of the big differences between full time and part time. But it was still a bummer since the rest of the world had long weekend. Anyway, my holiday pay started at midnight on Sunday (I think?) so even though I didn’t work on Monday I still got a little somethin somethin for ruining my 3 day off getaway potential. … Read more >

Kids, I think it’s safe to say I have turned into a (vegan) bacon-aholic. First there was coconut bacon. Then I did the tempeh thing. And now I’m on to eggplant. If I haven’t convinced you to invest in liquid smoke yet, what the what are you waiting for? [As much as I hate ending the sentence in a preposition, it doesn’t have the same punch when written grammatically correct. Cool?] The tempeh was so good I made a double batch within the week. Kyle still hasn’t tasted it. I’m a pig. <— bacon pun… Read more >

My Tuesday and Wednesday. For your viewing pleasure. Breakfast. Banana bread + fried egg. Decaf, decaf, decaf. Lunch. Celery, carrots, zucchini egg muffins with fresh grind peanut butter.

My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend. Because we had a birthday party for my dad!! He’s 59 years young! I’ll get to the party details later. I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway. Food schmood right? P disagrees. He’s digging the solids. We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >
