Take care of yourself. You can’t take care of patients if you’re sick, so neglecting your own health is as good as bailing on your patients. You know…that whole apply your own oxygen mask first analogy… That’s what we learned in nursing school. But I have to be honest; I don’t know many nurses who follow that advice. And today, I fell victim as a result. Nursing fail. It all started with a crappy night’s sleep. I woke up 4 times drenched in sweat. Those were the first red flags. Ignored. I still got up… Read more >

Let’s not drag this out. All my work eats today were leftovers and there’s nothing interesting about that. Salad with oranges, granny apples, dried cranz I must be the only freak on the planet that likes soggy leftover salad, but I do! I simply added in a fistful of fresh spinach before adding in the leftovers to keep the greens from turning into a saturated mess. And for those who were wondering, the home-made vinaigrette dressing was a simple mix of EVOO, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, dijon mustard, sesame seeds, salt & pepper. Harvest… Read more >

I’m definitely in a big, huge, massive, obscene rut. There, I said it. Almost every single meal this week has involved nutbutter in some form. It all stemmed from this purchase. And the delivery of this package. Both have become absolutely essential parts of my diet, so much so that I’ve ended up creating the oddest food combinations, all in an effort to incorporate some form of nutbutter. For instance this sweet potato & apple dish dressed with peanut sauce. Peanut sauce you say? Yes, peanut sauce. All it is is peanut flour, almond milk… Read more >

Now this is a beautiful sight. This is what dreams are made of…for a hummus lover at least. 🙂 On Monday night I had about half of the tub for dinner (with every dippable I could get my hands on), and the rest I packed up for Tuesday’s lunch. You know how I do it… Just throw it in the bag The same thing that the bankrobber told the teller Just throw it in the bag That’s the way it suppose to be A real [bleep] ‘posed to help you out with the groceries Just… Read more >

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 >
