To be honest, I have never liked potato salad. It looks really gross. That’s probably due to the mayo, which I also never liked. White creamy condiments give me the heebie jeebies. Potato salad is kinda the quintessential picnic food though, right? I can recall many outdoor get-togethers and summer BBQs that had potato salad as a side dish (usually a fairly untouched dish). It seems so un-American to dislike it. But I guess I feel similarly about many other “classic American” foods, too…burgers and fries? I’ll pass. Why does the US have such crappy… Read more >

The other day I had a unique take on oatmeal for breakfast. It wasn’t really oatmeal. Nor was it breakfast. Nor was it intentional. After night shift, I slept in ‘til noon and then woke up to spend my Friday with Kyle. After lounging the morning away, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go for a run or eat something. I decided to put a pot of oats on the stove, but by the time they were done, I had changed my mind. So I turned the stove off and left the oats while… Read more >

Oh my gosh April has been non-stop and it’s hardly even started! This past weekend alone was ridic…Finn turned two, my parents came into town, and a bunch of friends got together for the MS walk…oh and then there was my sister-in-law’s wedding shower. Yeah. That’s normal. I truly love being with family and friends, so this weekend was all about them and not so much about nursing or blogging. In the words of Jackie O, “I want to live my life, not record it.” And yet, I did record some of it…just not very… Read more >

I haven’t had very many interesting things to share. The weather went from shorts and tank-top temperatures to bundle in layers degrees. Don’t you gauge the season by outfits, too? I still fit a 4 mile run in yesterday between stuffing my face with brownies. One, two, buckle my shoe unbuckle my belt… Okay, okay, I didn’t JUST have brownies (as if you’d judge me either way). I had a huge bowl of nearly-spilling-over-the-edge oatmeal. 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup frozen blueberries dash of cinnamon drip of NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia… Read more >

Sadly, no, it’s not summer quite yet. The dog days I’m referring to aren’t the ones of sweltering heat. I’m talking about working like a dog. The past few days have been busy busy busy, filled with A fib, altered mental status, and other nursing fun. Night shifts are not my friend. But next week I’m back to days so three cheers for that! How about some food! Apple, pear, leftovers. Quinoa, roasted butternut squash, and lentil loaf. The thing about night shift, is my body still thinks it’s night time. So I don’t have… Read more >
