Oh my!? It’s been a sweet sweet weekend so far in Hippie-land. I’ll spare my male readers from any gory PMS details, but I think it’s pretty clear that my body’s chocolate cravings are well founded [as if you ever need an excuse to stuff your face with sweets!?]. My vampire schedule came to an end this week, and luckily enough, I slept like a baby through Thursday night. It felt awesome. And when I say that I slept like a baby, what I mean is I slept like a comatose patient, because my blackberry… Read more >

I am ALL out of sorts. Yesterday (?) I went to bed around noon thinking I’d sleep til 5 and then get ready to head back in to work. How’d that work out?? Yeah. Not so much. I ended up watching the latest episode of Glee (check out the creepy scene I paused it on) after tossing and turning in bed. It’s hard to sleep when it’s light out and my body is all jacked up on caffeine. I realize a mega caffeine Starbucks order wasn’t the wisest choice after being awake for 24 consecutive… Read more >

My morning started with this newbie. To me, “Au Naturel”…is the classy way of saying “hippie food”…so clearly this was right up my alley. Like the rest of Udi’s products, this granola is gluten free. It also happens to be dairy free, soy free, nut free, and egg free (it’s is not vegan because it contains honey). The only ingredients are certified gluten free oats, wildflower honey and canola oil. That’s it! THREE ingredients. No wonder they call it Au Naturel… I packed myself a tupperware full of granola to add to my (unpictured) plain… Read more >

It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song. I apologize. But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work. I love it! I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again. I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food. *This post is old, so disregard any references to time. My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up. Remember my pre-packed eats from yore?… Read more >

Still ailing…aching from head to toe. Brain, body, pretty much everything. And I’m really getting sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Blah. Today I had a sneaky chef moment, though. As my girl Holly says, “sharing is caring” so here you go: When you’ve hit the wall with carbs and nutbutter (the horror!), but you still have zero desire to eat greens, here’s a delicious way to cheat them into your bod. PB & Greens Smoothie 3/4 cup almond milk 1 frozen banana 2 shafts of kale, leaves only 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter… Read more >
