The word “leftovers” implies the portion in question was at some point unwanted. When you feast on farm fresh fare, this is most definitely not the case. But (shocking as it may seem) there was food left over from dinner. Swiss chard, grilled avocado, grilled bell peppers, and grape tomatoes (all from the farmer’s market), red quinoa, and vegan sausages. For those who asked (all two of you), both Kyle and I looooved them. I am typically skeptical of faux meat products, but Field Roast Grain Meat Co. has really legit ingredients. We… Read more >

I don’t have a particularly fantastic work schedule at the moment, but at least I’m on day shift for the entire month. So I’m certainly not complaining! After a sweaty morning sesh with Jillian, I enjoyed a scone before heading into the office hospital. Here’s the stash I brought along. What a snack scene! That would be, dehydrated apple rings, dark chocolate covered edamame, candied ginger, Nature’s Path Chococonut bar, mini PB cookie Larabar, mixed dried fruit, and a baggie of home-made cereal/nut/dried fruit trail mix. Breakfast number two was oats with a… Read more >

Who loves orange food? I do! I probably have amazing Vitamin A levels 🙂 Sweet potatoes have B-carotene up the yin yang (a precursor to Vitamin A). I had baked these rounds a few day ago and they were just waiting to be incorporated into a recipe. More orange foods! Bell peppers and carrots and hummus… Plus red quinoa and couscous. I ate some of the baked sweet potato rounds as chips. Perfect hummus vehicles 🙂 The only thing you need to do for this recipe is add everything to a… Read more >

Well, that whole 405 “carmaggedon” thing turned out to be quite a bust. After hearing months and months of hype, I think everyone was expecting the worst…which caused people to take extraordinary measures (like riding your bike to work and then spending the weekend sleeping over at your cousin’s house). I had it better than many of my coworkers, who were put up in dorm rooms. But I wish I had just ignored all the hoopla and slept in my own bed, down my normal AM workout routine, and driven to work. Like every other… Read more >

After my string of night shifts, I simply wanted to sleep and veg out all day. So that’s what I did. I didn’t leave the apartment. I didn’t even change out of my pajamas. Normally I feel at least a little bit of pressure to work out, especially since I’m supposedly “training” for a triathlon. But I didn’t. It’s rare that I don’t have feelings of guilt for being a sloth – which is something I’m always working on. I am a firm believer that guilt is a pointless emotion. Being healthy means being… Read more >
