Mostly brownies

I haven’t had very many interesting things to share.  The weather went from shorts and tank-top temperatures to bundle in layers degrees.  Don’t you gauge the season by outfits, too? I still fit a 4 mile run in yesterday between stuffing my face with brownies. One, two, buckle my shoe unbuckle my belt… Okay, okay, I didn’t JUST have brownies (as if you’d judge me either way). I had a huge bowl of nearly-spilling-over-the-edge oatmeal. 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup frozen blueberries dash of cinnamon drip of NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia… Read more >

Dog Days

Sadly, no, it’s not summer quite yet.  The dog days I’m referring to aren’t the ones of sweltering heat.  I’m talking about working like a dog.  The past few days have been busy busy busy, filled with A fib, altered mental status, and other nursing fun.  Night shifts are not my friend.  But next week I’m back to days so three cheers for that!  How about some food! Apple, pear, leftovers. Quinoa, roasted butternut squash, and lentil loaf. The thing about night shift, is my body still thinks it’s night time.  So I don’t have… Read more >

Veggie Squash Noodles

This recipe will fill you up and then some.  It will probably leave you with a small fiber baby too. Spaghetti squash is pretty much the easiest squash to prep ever.  Literally all you do is hack it open, flip it so each half is face down in a pan with an inch of water. Simple enough, right?  No chopping, no peeling, no Jackie Chan knife skills required. Left: pre-oven; Right: after 50 minutes at 375. Scoop out the stringy flesh, and tupperware it up. Unless you are a squash whore, I’d recommend separating the… Read more >

Hummus and taxes

I’m pretty sure my version of the phrase is just as true (and not nearly as morbid).  I mean really, is there anything more certain in life than the fact that I’ll consume pounds and pounds of hummus?  No.  The burden of taxes, on the other hand, is a far less joyous inevitability. Kyle and I have nearly finished ours, though, so at least that will be one big check off the to-do list.  I have to say, moving to a different state and starting new jobs certainly made things more difficult this year.  Good… Read more >

Staples

I have more photos on my camera than I could possibly share. How about the staples? Pre-packed food – definitely necessary given the limited cafeteria options at 3 am. T.G.I.L. – thank goodness it’s leftovers because it made work prep come together in 5 minutes flat (Israeli couscous with raw cauliflower “rice”, cherry tomatoes, and spinach) Dessert – non-negotiable 🙂 [I ate this Kookie Karma holistic choco lot in the car on the way to work so I don’t have a photo, but it was dark, gooey, and utterly decadent – I will be buying… Read more >
