The mystery pasta

You guys are HILARIOUS!  I loved the guesses about my pasta’s hidden ingredients.  To back up a bit.  A few days ago, I had a typical oatmeal breakfast with strawberries, raisins, and peanut butter.   But then I added Love Grown Raisin Almond Crunch Oat Clusters of Love…    All I have to say is: damn.    This is definitely their best flavor – and that’s saying a lot because I friggin’ adored their other granola flavors (especially cocoa).   I couldn’t stop.  Next thing I knew, I saw the bottom of the bag.  Yikes!  Needless… Read more >

What I Ate Wednesday

I’ve never officially joined in on the WIAW festivities, but today’s is a special edition, so I knew I had to partake.  Unfortunately, I didn’t catch all my food on film (I forgot how hard it is to remember to take pics of every. single. thing!), but I did my best, despite being out and about for much of the day. My alarm went off at 8, but I didn’t get out of bed til 9.  I was reading, and loving every page, but eventually the call of coffee dragged me from the sheets.   I… Read more >

Who likes coupons?

I got home from work sooooo exhausted, I couldn’t even be bothered enough to put a proper meal together. Sometimes mixing 4 different kinds of cereal/granola/trail mix just hits the spot. Simple, but stellar.  Dinner doesn’t have to be gourmet to make my belly content.  My first day back to work after my bike accident was a rough one.  I got an easier patient load, but it was still hard at times.  I ached.  Lots.  Even though I alternated between ice and heat packs, none of it really helped. Anyway.  I’m hoping I can tough… Read more >

Unpackaged

Finally!  A bit of a break from the hospital.  The past few days have been busy busy because I’m out of town this weekend which means all my shifts got crammed into the beginning of the week.  What that means for you all is this post will be full of several pre-packed work meals.   L to R: Bread, Salad, Dried Fruit & Nut Bar   The bread was a fresh french roll from WF bakery.  It had a ménage à trois with hummus and carrots later in the day.  Sexy.  The salad was a… Read more >

A simple Sunday

Nothing too interesting going on in this casa.  Simple weekend fun. I woke up at 8 feeling much better than yesterday (thanks for all the well wishes).  It’s funny how every time I mention I’m not feeling well the first question people ask is “are you pregnant?”  In fact, anytime anything remotely baby related comes up in conversation people think it’s appropriate to ask when I’m planning to have kids.  I can’t even say “awww” to a cute little toddler without people assuming it means I’m getting ready for mommy mode.  I don’t really mind… Read more >
