Nowadays I tend to post my more creative recipes as opposed to my thrown together quick plates. But every time I show a random meal that I have mindlessly made up I get requests for them to continue. I guess people just want simple. Here is simple: quinoa, carrots, peas, and seitan. Prep: Bulk quinoa from the rice cooker. Frozen peas. Log seitan made before the work week starts. So the only thing I had to do when I got home was chop (horse carrots and seitan) and scoop things onto my plate. It… Read more >

A long time ago I got a coupon for two Simply Potatoes products [part of the foodbuzz taste maker program]. I rarely hit up conventional supermarkets since I’m a Whole Foods snob, but I finally made it to the store to redeem the coupons. I like free. I also like wheat free. I’m not so sure about the rest of the additives, though…so I did my research. Disodium Pyrophosphate – a food additive used to maintain the white color of the potato flesh Potassium Sorbate – a preservative that helps keep products fresh by inhibiting… Read more >

This bowl you see here? It was something special. I am determined to figure out the exact caloric and macronutrient breakdown because it kept me full for HOURS without weighing me down at all.

By the time I got home the other day I was about to fall over with exhaustion. It was one of the busiest days I’ve ever worked. To give you a point of reference, I never finished my morning coffee. Yes, I managed to get away for my lunch break (remember how we have break relief nurses to cover us), but I spent 75% of the time tucked away in the computer room getting caught up on charting. Anyway. If you’re looking for someone to blame for my really delayed Wednesday post, I’m removing myself… Read more >

February is my second favorite month (after October of course) because of it’s heart healthy theme. So happy February 1st! [and rabbit rabbit] Back before the blog, I started my mornings like this every single day. Me + coffee + crossword. All through undergrad and nursing school it was the only way I woke up. Once I moved to NYC and started working, the real world took over, and my AM “me” time somehow got sidelined. It’s a little sad. Well this morning was different and it made me happy. No tv. No computer. … Read more >
