Breakfast, lunch, & chocolate

Breakfast. Froth. Pumpkin coconut oats. Lunch. Whole wheat pita with faux “tuna” salad and roasted red pepper hummus. This is a new brand of pitas and I couldn’t be more in love.  The fluffier, the better. Snacks. Three Sisters Cinnamon Sweets. Enjoy Life Boom Choco Boom bar. Do you really not know what this is? I totally Top Chef marathon-ed it for most of the day.  With many chocolate breaks. How a hippie eats a Reese’s vegan fudge peanut butter cup. *Note: you may want tea for between bites because this is one rich dessert…. Read more >

From drab to fab

In case you want a visual image with the post title, as you say it picture me snapping my fingers across my body with some serious sass.  And now roll your eyes. Ah well, we can’t all be divas. Nonetheless, my week’s work eats have been nothing short of amazing.  From drab… To fab.  🙂 On top of the quinoa, I chopped up the fattest pear I’ve ever seen (I’m not even exaggerating, it was a beastly looking fruit), and then some crushed cashews.  Not just plain cashews though.  I put them in a baggy,… Read more >

Hour by Hour

Here’s the line-up (the photo shows the eats in chronological order of consumption). And here’s the hourly breakdown… 7:30 pm – I pack the above eats for work. 8:30 pm – In an attempt to get back on track, I tuck into the covers extra early. 4:14 am – My alarm goes off and Kyle lovingly nudges shoves me out of my slumber to shut off the beeping. 4:30 am – Jillian Michaels makes me regret seeing the sunrise with weights and cardio. 5:00 am – Shower time. 5:15 am – I sip on coffee… Read more >

The quick and (not) dirty

Clean eats with minimalist descriptions.  Ready, set, blog. Pumpkin Pie smoothie   Toast with “cream cheese” and cinnamon. I have mixed feelings about Tofutti cream cheese.  It’s got an odd saltiness to it that can sometimes make for an unexpected flavor, but it’s great for subbing into pasta dishes.  It does melt when it meets warm bread, which is a win in my book.  🙂   Self explanatory addiction. Ditto to the above. Avocado + pea mash up It’s not easy being green…when avocado is involved.  On toasted sprouted bread.   My night shift work eats… Read more >

Is that a syringe in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

My second night shift would have been fine had I slept longer than 2 hours before starting it.  At least it was a learning experience…I now have a better idea of how to approach a schedule change.  I had coffee before starting the shift, and was doing fine until 1 am rolled around. Since my patients were stable and I was starting to do that eye-droop-head-nod thing, I decided to try and get some shut-eye.  When my phone alarm went off at 2 am, I was sooo confused.  Where am I?  Why are my pajamas… Read more >
