Umm, I still have last week’s food on my computer. Sooo, that’s weird. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged an entire day’s eats (so many recipes!). Why not share 24 hours full of food? [or whatever portion of the day I was awake] I woke up at 4:30 for work because I’m crazy and like shorting myself an hour of sleep to exercise before I’m on my feet for 12 hours straight. Helloooo sarcasm. On the way to work (at 6:25 am) I enjoyed a [raw] Cardamom Almond Biscotti by TwinCakes Bakery. I… Read more >

It’s true that I eat oatmeal almost every day. I don’t think it’s boring, but that’s me. I get questions rather frequently about how I make them…and while I never measure things as I go, I figured I should respond to the inquiries. So last night, as I prepped for the work day, I got out the measuring cups and noted each and every step for you guys. Ready? This is the basic framework. 3/4 cup dry whole rolled oats 2 tbsp chia seeds 1/4 cup raisins (no more or I risk overloading… Read more >

This was my vision for dinner last night. Turned out pretty much exactly how I pictured it! Bonus: it was way tastier than I could have ever hoped for! The butternut squash puree is outstanding enough to stand on it’s own…add in pasta, sautéed vegan sausage, and steamed kale…oh baby! It’s definitely worth repeating. The reason we kept the meal’s components separate was because I wanted kale and Kyle didn’t. He was kale-d out from the previous night’s dinner (I, on the other hand, could eat leafy greens exclusively for weeks on end…). So… Read more >

The flood actually started Sunday morning, and after four unreturned calls to our landlord we took matters into our own hands and began calling plumbers. Apparently Sundays aren’t ideal for your pipes to burst because we called every plumber in Santa Monica and nobody returned our calls…until 30 minutes later. We finally got one guy to agree to come look at the sink…after putting down a $100 deposit. He didn’t arrive until 75 minutes later. At that point we had several drenched towels and one full a$$ bucket. He “worked” on the leak for… Read more >

I woke up Friday with every single finger and toe crossed because the unit was overstaffed by one nurse and I was the first on the list to get a "holiday." So as long as nobody called in sick, my phone was set to ring between 4 and 5 am with happy news. I’ve never looked forward to a pre-sunrise call more. At 4:45 I got the blessed call and by 4:50 I was back asleep. I took full advantage of the free day and slept in, but once I woke up, I set right… Read more >
