Nowadays I tend to post my more creative recipes as opposed to my thrown together quick plates. But every time I show a random meal that I have mindlessly made up I get requests for them to continue. I guess people just want simple. Here is simple: quinoa, carrots, peas, and seitan. Prep: Bulk quinoa from the rice cooker. Frozen peas. Log seitan made before the work week starts. So the only thing I had to do when I got home was chop (horse carrots and seitan) and scoop things onto my plate. It… Read more >

This bowl you see here? It was something special. I am determined to figure out the exact caloric and macronutrient breakdown because it kept me full for HOURS without weighing me down at all. I finished it and felt both light as a feather and completely satisfied. That’s a hard line to walk. So what was in it? 1 cup dry whole rolled oats 2 cups water 1/4 avocado 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 fried eggs I never wait for the water to boil before adding oats, I just throw them in at… Read more >

By the time I got home the other day I was about to fall over with exhaustion. It was one of the busiest days I’ve ever worked. To give you a point of reference, I never finished my morning coffee. Yes, I managed to get away for my lunch break (remember how we have break relief nurses to cover us), but I spent 75% of the time tucked away in the computer room getting caught up on charting. Anyway. If you’re looking for someone to blame for my really delayed Wednesday post, I’m removing myself… Read more >

I think there’s a misconception about how I eat. For every new recipe I create and share with you guys, there are five others I don’t show because they look like this… Oatmeal with melty peanut butter, cinnamon, and raisins. Not exactly reinventing the wheel with this one. I don’t have magic spells that bake cakes while I’m at work (Sleeping Beauty reference anyone?), nor do I have ingenuity oozing from my pores. Especially after 12 hours of nursing. Simple is fine by me. So whether it’s oats with the works or… Read more >
