dried mixed fruit

Wacked out day

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple.  Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick.  Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come.  Wha?!  I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho.  No bueno.  I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too.  Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >

It’s my *lunch* in a box

Work day = Packed lunch.  Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who brings lunch to work.  I don’t get it!?  There are a few things that baffle me about this, the first being the price of buying food on a daily basis.  Sure, I can understand a treat once in a while, but every day?  That adds up!  Second, I don’t understand how people can leave their house without any preparation should they get hungry.  I know I have a job unlike most other people.  I don’t have the luxury of choosing when… Read more >

[Insert witty title here]

Yeah, creative juices are dried up for tonight.  It’s been a long day, so I’m not even going to bother.  You don’t care about the title anyways, right? Why does it seem like I’m 12 feet tall while taking this bird’s eye shot of my lunch?  Look at all the glorious food: Berries GoMega odwalla bar, Cashew Cookie Larabar, hummus, salad of raw-ness, dried papayas & mangoes, home made raw trail mix (carob chips, almonds, cashews, and raisins), and don’t forget the apple! The stars the the show weren’t too shy for a close up…. Read more >

Work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep

I had work the past two days, so this may get a bit repetitive…packed lunches as always.    Dried fruit, Larabar, Clif bar, dried fruit & nuts (?), hummus, raw salad, apple.  Read on for the deets. Lately I’ve been trying to branch out and dabble in the raw/food combining world, and I have to say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how positive the results have been.  Even though I have proclaimed myself anti-nuts in the past and vehemently refused to budge on the issue, for some reason I have been on a nut kick lately. … Read more >
