I hereby dedicate this post to everyone who has de-lurked lately. I LOVE hearing from you all, and it makes me so happy to know that you get ideas from my blog. That said, several peeps have been asking for tips on packing lunches. Well, I aim to please, so here’s a post packed with some of my latest eats that I have brought to work. Lord knows, it’s hard to prep for 12 hour shifts, especially when you have no clue when (or IF) you will get breaks to eat. So, I do rely… Read more >

Cha-ching!! Hear that? That’s the sound of the $$ being deposited in my bank account after working a holiday. Time and a half, yes please! (Sadly, I have a feeling the influx of cash flow on my end is probably barely enough to cover the amount oozing out of my better half while he is living it up in Vegas…) I gave the tropical fruit Larabar another shot (but ONLY for you Julie!) and I’m sorry to say, I still wasn’t a fan. Want the proof? I actually threw out the uneaten half. Now, I’m… Read more >

Tofu + chickpeas = tofummus? It’s honestly the best thing ever. Hear that Sabra? Consider this your warning…you MAY have been dethroned. I will hold off on this latest obsession for now… First things first. Work. It. For some reason the unit was -19 degrees today, which is the rationale I’m using to explain why I ate > 5000 kcals in 20 hours. Food = warmth, right? I’m pretty sure Einstein already proved that theory, so I won’t take all the credit. But in all no seriousness, I had goosebumps and was shivering all morning… Read more >

Remember all of the errands I briefly mentioned yesterday? FINALLY! I know it’s no food processor, but I wanted something on the less $$ side to tide me over until next year when I hit the kitchen appliance jackpot we register for our wedding. I can’t even TELL you how excited I was to use this baby. Unfortunately, I worked all day (on a Saturday – boo!), so my mind was preoccupied by more pressing matters, but as soon as I was out of the hospital, my mind began racing with all the possibilities.

No need to send out the search dogs, I’m alive and well. In the last few days I’ve been hanging out with with my sis and working. I worked the past two days, and Laura left to return to CA today (tear). In the interest of just getting up to date, I’ll limit Tues through Thurs to the very upmost blog-worthy parts. Not that everything I write isn’t thrilling… Me + Laura + WF lunch + central park = happy day The sun was BLAZING, so the photos were all soopah bright. In case your… Read more >
