As you all well know, I pack my own food to bring to work every single day. Some days I don’t take photos because I have leftovers that I’ve already shared (or I’m just lazy). Sometimes I take pictures and then forget to post them, and then they pile up on my hard drive. <— I’m pretty sure I’m eerily close to a crash. Power lunching in 5…4…3…2…and go. Breakfast: overnight oats soaked with chia seeds, cinnamon and raisins Snack: Marchini almonds Not as good as regular almonds in my opinion. They… Read more >

I was going to try to do a WIAW post, but I just couldn’t get it together in time. Or photograph everything. Here’s some of my “what I ate wednesday week” in bullet points. Monday Coffee. Duh. My GF loaf is going fast and I still never even showed it’s birth. Sunbeam and Bob’s Red Mill make bread making pretty effortless. Unfortunately due to the garbanzo bean flour, my GI system was not very pleased with the final product. Tasty? Yes. Bloating? Very. It took a bit of trial and error with other… Read more >

Last Friday I skipped my planned run to go to the beach. It wasn’t really set in stone anyway…when I say “planned run”, what I mean is, “exercise session I got dressed for but then immediately changed out of.” I’m not one of those people who pre-sets the week’s fitness plan each Sunday night. Yes, I usually do something each day of the week, but I pretty much figure it out that day, depending how I feel in the moment. I work 3 days a week, so on those days I stick to AM… Read more >

I leave for work and it’s pitch black outside…12 hours later I leave the hospital and it’s again darkness. I can’t really complain since I spent Friday on the beach with Kyle (summer sun in October, what whaaaat). But I worked this weekend and tried to take a photo out the kitchen window before I left…just to show the lack of light. Didn’t really work. :( It’s so dark out, all you can see is my reflection. My breakfast is far more photogenic. Quinoa on quinoa? Why not! I added Sweet Almond & Quinoa… Read more >

Yesterday I promised you quite a few posts… This one probably whet your appetite the most. And rightfully so. I’ve already perfected quinoa granola before, so how does this one differ? Well, it’s lighter for one. The ingredients list is shorter, too. Granola is awesome. You just raid your pantry, throw everything in a bowl, and the rest sorts itself out in the oven. Or you could follow this recipe… Sweet almond and quinoa granola Ingredients: 2 cup whole rolled oats 1 cup quinoa (uncooked) 1 cup almonds, slivered 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup… Read more >
