There are certain morning rituals I have. I set my clothes out the night before – the same way each time. I also pack my lunch box the night before. Every single day I work. When my alarm goes off, I never hit snooze, I get up and go. Shower. Scrubs. ID badge. Chapstick in my left pant pocket. Pen in my right shirt pocket. Coffee. Breakfast. Pills. Off to the hospital. I park in the same spot. I wait in the car until the same time. And I sign up for the same break…. Read more >

I regret to inform you all that my recent absence was totally unavoidable… [Don’t read this next part if you don’t want to hear the dirty digestive deets] 1.5 days after I got back from Mexico I was knocked on my ass (literally) by Senor Montezuma. If you’re wondering why the onset of this Mexican bug was so delayed…welcome to my GI tract. I knew something was amiss the day we flew home, but it wasn’t until Friday that I was cursing my gut and running to the toilet every 5 to 30 minutes. So. … Read more >

Remember last week when I was pancake crazy? Well. I’m back in an oatmeal rut. Almond milk, cinnamon, bananas, peanut butter & maple syrup. Rules for oatmeal (slash life): No playing favorites. Editing is not necessary (and often discouraged). Go big or go home. The more the merrier. You get the idea right? I like lots of toppings. And I like them all together. Of course I can’t forget to mention the principles of frugality: Waste not, want not. Never leave a man behind. A penny saved, is a penny earned. … Read more >

These are the product of an extreme baking binge a few weeks ago. The only reason I held off in sharing them was because I hadn’t tried them (and therefore didn’t know how they’d turned out). If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know I’m not one to practice self restraint, so allow me to clarify why I waited a week to try my own baking… I had three other treats (maple oat muffins, banana bread and chocolate chip cookies) already filling my daily sweet quota. And since each was… Read more >
