I’m sorry for leaving you all in suspense after the nutty teaser. I made this trio of nut butter spreads for Kyle’s dad… Holiday Spiced Peanut butter Chocolate Cake Almond Butter Coconut Peanut Butter There weren’t really leftovers…mostly because Kyle kept poking his head in the kitchen when he heard the food processor stop…smart boy. But I did make an extra batch of the chocolate one. Because you can never have too much cocoa almond butter. Since we’re on the subject of chocolate, I may as well start with that recipe. Chocolate Cake Almond Butter… Read more >

I got to go to dinner with my besties, Ethel and Jess last night. I miss vacation, but there’s nothing better than spending the holidays with your family and friends. Sure, it’s sort of sad to spend Christmas at the hospital, but I don’t mind it if I get to see my loved ones too. And now for some recipe teasers… Do I even have to tell you how awesome these nut butters are? Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

I had to divide this into eight (8!!) portions to grind. 16 ounces of Starbucks Christmas blend later I had grounds from wall to wall in the kitchen and my hands were permeated with the delicious aroma of java. Good thing you can’t absorb caffeine intradermally. Or can you? I just found out our apartment in Buenos Aires has a coffee maker. I’m SO looking forward to Argentinean roasts. Can you tell my one-track-mind is completely vacation focused? I still have a couple more work shifts, so I’m doing everything I can to keep my… Read more >

This photo really doesn’t give an accurate picture of my day’s eats because it looks the same as all my other days of pre-packed meals. I had a rough morning (no workout, only 1/2 a cup of coffee) made rougher by the fact that my patients were not doing well. I had one person trying to code on me (HR 40s, SBP 180s, O2 70s) while another was trying to get to the bathroom to throw up (with his broken & non-weight-bearing L hip). I basically had to ignore the puking patient and get my… 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 >
