First things first, I made coconut blueberry scones yesterday, and I am really pleased with the outcome. The recipe will be up soon. Here’s a teaser… I had three over the course of the afternoon, very much spoiling my appetite for dinner. They are friggin’ delicious. Anyway. I had one before work (breakfast #1). And then I brought these goods for the rest of the day. Breakfast #2 – oats with silken tofu, raisins, and NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia. Lunch – salad with mixed greens, shredded zucchini, carrots, red quinoa, kelp noodles, and seitan. Snacks… Read more >

I’m not an overly dramatic person (must be the residual effects of my tomboy youth…) but I have to say, the lack of candied ginger in ALL the local Whole Foods stores has me freaking out. I am officially out. Like Kyle’s chapstick stash, I had back-ups upon back-ups, but they are all depleted now. Yikes. Hoarding fail. It gets worse! The above photo is the last of my carob chip stash too. Folks, this is a state of national emergency. My pre-packed work eats will just have to do without my beloved ginge. … Read more >

Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?! The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch. Ugh. Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing. Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful. My packed food was perfection. I’m… Read more >

One of the perks of being a food blogger is you get to try new things that you may not ordinarily try. For free.

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 >
