Let’s not drag this out. All my work eats today were leftovers and there’s nothing interesting about that. Salad with oranges, granny apples, dried cranz I must be the only freak on the planet that likes soggy leftover salad, but I do! I simply added in a fistful of fresh spinach before adding in the leftovers to keep the greens from turning into a saturated mess. And for those who were wondering, the home-made vinaigrette dressing was a simple mix of EVOO, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, dijon mustard, sesame seeds, salt & pepper. Harvest… Read more >

I’m definitely in a big, huge, massive, obscene rut. There, I said it. Almost every single meal this week has involved nutbutter in some form. It all stemmed from this purchase. And the delivery of this package. Both have become absolutely essential parts of my diet, so much so that I’ve ended up creating the oddest food combinations, all in an effort to incorporate some form of nutbutter.

I promised a macaroon recipe and then went awol on ya! My bad. :P You can blame my patients for wearing me out… So how about some coconutty treats? After falling in love with Tropical Traditions’ coconut oil, I was delighted when they offered to hook me up with shredded coconut to sample. If I had an all-time-favorite-ingredient list, coconut would be rapidly rising the charts. It’s rivaling pumpkin right now, so that’s saying something! As soft and fine as the lightest snow flurries. [That’s a reference for my New York peeps. I’m (happily) far… Read more >

Yup, it’s back to le grind. 12 hour shifts require lots of tupperwared options…and as you all know by now, I’m quite the preppy prep-ster over the weekends. Glad my type-A ways inspired some of you to do the damn thang, too. Left: spinach salad with roasted veg (brussels, carrots, broccoli, delicata squash) Right: quinoa with chopped pear, raisins, cinnamon & PB dressing (PB flour and almond milk) It’s a fairly simple dish, but dang am I obsessed. OBSESSED! Oh hey, look at that. Never seen this guy before. Oh wait, that’s right, I’ve had it… Read more >
