As promised, I am back with an epic restaurant review. Since Kyle and I have a shot-gun countdown until we leave the NYCizzle, we decided it was muy imperativo that we start hitting up all the great dining spots that are on our to-taste list. (For the record, that list is about 5 years worth of meals long, so I will be pleased if we can even make a small dent in it…) Anyways. Up first on the list was Blue Hill. I first heard of Blue Hill Farms back on the 5th season of… Read more >

As far as weekends go, this was pretty damn near perfect. It started with a 10 am wake up call (sleep in much?), and then a bit of coffee loading. Since it was a GORGEOUS 40+ degrees outside, Kyle and I wanted to get our faces in the sun asap. So, after snacking on one (and a half) of my chia seed oat bars, we set out for a run in the park. I can’t even tell you how long I have been waiting to feel the road beneath my feet. The treadmill just hasn’t… Read more >

Thanks to my whole foods gift card, I was able to replenish my NuNaturals stevia… This frothy treat is coffee with coconut milk, cinnamon, and NuNaturals. Luff. Brunch was a bit unconventional…I felt like grilled cheese, so I got crafty and mashed together extra firm Nasoya tofu and nutritional yeast. It looks kinda bizarre, but tasted yum-may. Currently there is a pretty bomb deal going on at Whole Foods with Steaz (when you buy a 4-pack you get another for free), so obviously I went for it. My sweet tooth took over for the rest… Read more >

My appetite was a monster the other day. Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster. I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler. That’s not typical for me. My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories. If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so. Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

If you follow my tweets you probably saw that I decided to do a little overtime the other day… If you know my normal work hours (7 am – 7 pm) you may be wondering if I am an overachiever crazy… (Yes, is the short answer) But because two night nurses called in sick, there were minimal options, and ultimately I decided to stay at the hospital until midnight (when a replacement could arrive). Class, pull out your calculators. If you don’t have a calculator I’ll help you out, that makes 17 hours of fun… Read more >
