How cute is this package?! I have no clue what it says, but dang if it isn’t adorable. I’m guessing those (not at all Asian) people are doing something in the rice fields…that results in the production of these tasty rice noodles. Nothing like a nice little tale on your pasta. It’s weird how the rice noodles are both pliable and crunchy when dried. It seems like they should be stale. Don’t worry, though. This story has a happy ending… See? Yummy. 🙂 Yesterday’s dinner was inspired by Lynn’s recent peanutty noodle dish, only it… Read more >

In my last post I showed you the prep portion leading up to the start of my work week. I’m glad you all found it informative and inspiring. I promise it’s not as hard as it seems; and once you start doing it week in and week out, it becomes second nature. Yes, I do have some OCD tendencies, and it’s hard for me to imagine a world without checklists, but it’s also what allows me to eat the way I want to (healthy and quick) when things get crazy. While my Type-A personality can… Read more >

As I mentioned yesterday, we left bright and early (6:30 to be exact) to head back to LA. And as painful as it was to get up at 5 to work out before hitting the road, it turned out to be WELL WORTH it. That’s the scene we avoided (source). The grapevine was snowing the entire time we were driving through, and just after we made it out, highway patrol blocked it off. Our friends were just a couple of hours behind us and had to be re-routed to the 101. And they were the… Read more >

Breakfast #1 – awkwardly photographed home-made trail mix of raw almonds, raisins, carob chips, cheerios, and Three Sisters cinnamon sweets. Eaten while Kyle drove me to work at 6:20. Breakfast #2 – quinoa, shredded coconut, chopped apple, goji berries and dried cranberries. Eaten between grand rounds at 10ish. I have discovered a new way to eat quinoa that makes for an amazing breakfast…allow me to share with you. First, I add soy milk to it. I fill it to the top like I’m adding milk to a cold cereal. Then, I microwave it for a… Read more >

I know you guys don’t believe me, but working on Christmas Day is not that bad. I mean, obviously I’d prefer to spend the morning in my PJs cozied up by the fireplace, opening presents with my family. But don’t worry, I still made sure it was a festive day at the hospital. After all, my patients need cheer on the 25th too. It also helps that I happen to love my job. And in the back of my mind I know that eventually I will be higher on the totem pole and get the… Read more >
