I made this for Kyle, not sure how he’d like it. He is picky about things that try to mock tuna salad (he loves TVP, but won’t try my TVP "tuna" salad for some reason). The good news? He really liked it. He also said it reminded him of tuna salad. Maybe it’s been a while since he’s had tuna because I definitely disagree. This chickpea salad isn’t tuna-esque at all. But whatever. He liked it, so that’s all that matters. Oh, and I think it’s pretty good too. 😉 Quickie Chickpea Salad… Read more >

Clean eats with minimalist descriptions. Ready, set, blog. Pumpkin Pie smoothie Toast with “cream cheese” and cinnamon. I have mixed feelings about Tofutti cream cheese. It’s got an odd saltiness to it that can sometimes make for an unexpected flavor, but it’s great for subbing into pasta dishes. It does melt when it meets warm bread, which is a win in my book. 🙂 Self explanatory addiction. Ditto to the above. Avocado + pea mash up It’s not easy being green…when avocado is involved. On toasted sprouted bread. My night shift work eats… Read more >

On my days off, I like to sleep in. The first thing I do upon waking up is wash my face and brush my teeth. But less than a second after, I make coffee. After that I water my babies. Then, I set up shop on our dining room chairs and read blogs, write, and do whatever internet related errands I’ve put off for the past few days. All while enjoying coffee. Coffee topped with froth and cocoa, to be exact. At least, that’s what I did on Friday. I also had the last piece… Read more >

One of the easiest ways to make sure you eat well and save money is bringing your own food to work. I’m practically a pro at packing meals to-go because I work at a job that requires it. As a nurse, I’m often squeezing snacks and meals in whenever I can. Unlike my days off, when I can eat whenever I’m hungry, the timing of my meals at work is instead based on my patients’ stability. In NYC, I brought my lunch every single day. If you add it up, those 2 1/2 years of… Read more >
