I’ll fly through the beginning of this post and get the part when (part of) my family is in town!! So tired I couldn’t even scoop my oats into the bowl. They were made with oats, buckwheat, apples, cinnamon, and vanilla stevia. Lunch was shake ‘n bake. Minus the bake. I just love using tupperware with lids to get dressing in every nook and cranny. This is especially important when it’s a delicious dressing like Follow Your Heart’s vegan caesar. It helps if you sing while you do it: shake shake shake, shake… Read more >

Ok, I know. It’s semi-odd to be roasting winter squash in June, right? But I had a butternut and delicata squash hanging around the kitchen and figured I better seize the day. So I hacked my way into them, lubed the skin down with coconut oil, and popped ‘em in the oven at 375. I made sure to salvage the seeds to roast too. They are loaded with iron and (quite frankly) delicious. Those didn’t get coconut oil though. They were sprayed with PAM and sprinkled in salt. Nada mas, nada less. I took the… Read more >

Meals and musings from a marvelous Monday… All together now: chia pudding/overnight oats, big salad with leftover quinoa, apple, apricot, WF ciabatta roll, Sabra hummus. I found these at Whole Foods and thought they’d be perfect for lunches. I usually bring a pita, tortilla, or a slice of sprouted bread to dip in hummus, but Ciabatta rolls sounded like the perfect change up. I had one for my first breakfast (pre-work eaten in my car) with almond butter. Second breakfast (eaten after grand rounds in the break room) was the last of the leftover chia… Read more >

I woke up Saturday feeling slightly nauseous. It was rather unpleasant. I actually felt a little sick when I went to bed Friday night, but I figured I’d just sleep it off…not the case. Upon waking, I was instantly queasy. [Note: I’m not pregnant] I had no appetite whatsoever (and nothing sounded good to me at ALL) and I even felt a little full from the previous day. But at the same time, my stomach felt empty and hollow, like it needed something to cushion it from eating itself. Apparently it’s possible to be both… Read more >

Working on the weekends isn’t too bad when the days are mellow and the weather is mediocre (I swear I heard the phrase “June gloom” six hundred and fifty three times yesterday). Having interesting patients helps too… My shift flew by and as 7 pm approached I texted dinner plans to Kyle. me: Veggie Grill take-away tonight? kyle: yes. what do you want? me: Baja Fiesta salad, add chik’n, dressing on the side Done and done. I got this same order last time so I knew it would hit the spot. This time I… Read more >
