Yup, it’s back to le grind. 12 hour shifts require lots of tupperwared options…and as you all know by now, I’m quite the preppy prep-ster over the weekends. Glad my type-A ways inspired some of you to do the damn thang, too. Left: spinach salad with roasted veg (brussels, carrots, broccoli, delicata squash) Right: quinoa with chopped pear, raisins, cinnamon & PB dressing (PB flour and almond milk) It’s a fairly simple dish, but dang am I obsessed. OBSESSED! Oh hey, look at that. Never seen this guy before. Oh wait, that’s right, I’ve had it… Read more >

This weekend went by way too quickly. I played catch up the whole time, and it’s already over! :( All I do is make massive bulk meals for the week. Prep prep prep.

Brunch Coffee sprinkled with cocoa Sando with hummus and vegan “cheese” on Ezekiel heel pieces. Snack Assorted platter of veggies, fruit, and “cheese” Workout 30 minutes of running on the beach 15 minutes of leisurely bike… Read more >

The weatherman doesn’t know it’s November, but I’m certainly not going to be the one to break the news… I went to the beach this weekend – take that New York. So after coffee x3, I had a pear & dried cranberry breakfast with my agave nectar & cinnamon on top. Not too complex of a dressing, but pretty good if I do say so myself. I had an apple too. Honeycrisps are all the rage right now, but Galas are still my favorite. For lunch I used more quinoa and leftover BBQ tofu… Read more >

Phew! Just finished a string of shifts at the hospital and I’m ready to start my weekend. So this Friday will be a day of catch up – I’m mega behind in all parts of life, including blogging. Last time I checked, blogging about Sunday’s meal on Thursday is…what’s the word?…ah yes, a lost cause. The Foodbuzz festival was no ordinary situation, though. I scored a whole lotta swag that I can’t wait to share with all y’all. For instance, this cute lil bugger. A Frog Hollow Farms pear. I had never heard of Frog… Read more >

I’ve been busy busy busy working this week…and even though I haven’t exercised for even half a second (blah), it’s all worth it because I get to spend the weekend with some fantastic friends. My packed lunches have been incredible if I do say so myself. Satisfying my every want and need – sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy – you name it, I packed it. It’s all about options people. The main ingredients in these Heart Thrive cookies were oats, brown rice syrup, brown rice flour, rice bran, natural fruit juices, and lots of dried fruit… Read more >
