Unlike last week’s meal plan, I kept this one a bit more flexible due to the uncertainty (and chaos) on the calendar. In addition to my usual work schedule, I had a four hour class (for work) and maternity unit tour. That meant I’d be at the hospital all five days of the week. I can’t get away from the place! Kyle was also busy with work – presentations, dinner meetings, etc. Accordingly, I planned out dinners for all five week days, but didn’t assign definite nights for most of them. Instead I just figured… Read more >

I was off this weekend (which is abnormal since I was also off last weekend and I usually have an every other schedule). So exciting!! Saturday morning. Frothy mocha flavored milk. Home-made bread. Toasted to oblivion. Buttered up the yin yang. Fried egg on the side. Farmer’s market. Restoration Hardware baby & child grand opening. They have a dresser named after me (too bad these are all too expensive). Need to hit up some garage sales asap. College football. Lunch. Breakfast grain mix. Seitan. Carrots. Nutritional yeast. Snack. Sabra spinach & artichoke hummus. Carrots…. Read more >

Last weekend we went to Veggie Grill for takeout. You get a free entree for your birthday and since you have until the end of the month to use it, I was almost out of time! I decided to try something new (I figured since it was free I should order something that I wouldn’t ordinarily get). I hate to say it but I may have OD-ed on the All Hail Kale Salad. I didn’t feel like a salad, but I didn’t want a sandwich or burger either (I wasn’t gonna do the wheat thing,… Read more >

I’ll admit it, I’m a carb lover. I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. Brown rice, oats, quinoa, sweet potatoes, whole wheat, etc. – I think they are all part of a healthy, well balanced diet. So are fruits and vegetables. It’s hard to imagine a low-carb plant-based diet. How would that work exactly? Well, that’s the exact dilemma I was faced with last week (after failing my first GTT). While I was waiting to take my second GTT, I tried reducing my carb and sugar intake to see how it might… Read more >

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms. As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me. But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.” He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >
