I have literally been living at the office hospital. And yet, somehow I have managed to churn out heaps of produce in the few hours I have been home. Seriously, our apartment is where produce comes to die (death by baking anyone?). Wanna see a few of my success stories (if you said no…well…tough sh!t). 😉 FINALLY!! (I think kale chips have been on my to-make list for a year now). It’s about damn time, Elise. Massaged with cooking spray, nooch, and salt (like, a LOT of salt), then baked at 350 for 10-15 minutes. … Read more >

What a short lived break. Having only one day off of work was such a tease. So back to the hospital I went. The usual crew of lunchables: salad with a lot of greenery, roasted carrots with cranz, Spiced Pumpkin Pie Clif bar (why does this have to be seasonal, it’s SO good), PB cookie Larabar (best flavor, definitely, best flavor), TWO apples (not baby horse ones, these are the big bad boys), dried pineapple and pears. Foggy bag much? By the way, I’m completely obsessed with roasting carrots into fries. I could easily go… Read more >

I woke up this morning and found that Kyle had left me a note. Obviously these vegan, gluten free, agave sweetened brownies satisfied my boy’s taste buds! Poor guy was at the office until the wee hours of the night (long after I went to bed), so when he got home he went to town on the remaining baked goods. Thanks to his note, I got a good laugh in as I headed off to work. Packed lunchables. Yes, TWO apples today. Honestly, I feel like I should bring in more, but my reputation on… Read more >

Here are just a few lessons I learned that were reinforced today. 1. I crash and burn without my “me time” (aka days off). Feel me K? I was in a beezy of a mood all day today (come to think of it, I’d say I’m going on day 3 now). Even one of the male (read: unobservant) NPs on the floor noticed and asked me point blank what was wrong, and told me I seemed down. Shoot. So much for my poker face. He then asked me if I was “chemical” which was so… Read more >

I had quite extensive pre-packed work eats. Check out the holiday flavored bars I FINALLY tracked down. I was soooo excited to try the Iced Gingerbread Clif bar AND the Spooky S’mores Z bar. They were both excellent. Sugary, but amazing. Seasonal bars still don’t make up for the nast weather though. For dinner, I decided to finally tackle a dish I’ve been wanting to make for a while now. After seeing that Whole Foods started to carry Candle 79’s black bean pumpkin burger, I knew I wanted to make my own version. Similar to… Read more >
