Lake Almanor Weekend

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway.  Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends.    The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe.  Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >

Niece #3

I know I said I was heading out of town this weekend (I am), but I had to pop in to tell you two very awesome things.   I have a new niece!  Scarlett Alice was born in the wee early hours Friday morning.  Isn’t she precious.  :)  I love her to pieces already. The second is considerably less thrilling to everyone else, but I was pleased nonetheless.    This is my happy face after getting a call saying the unit was overstaffed for the night and I could have a holiday.  Wee!!  I was… Read more >

Day to night

I had an awkward transition mid-week from a normal routine to a night shift routine.  The first day is always awkward.  I woke up at 7:30 and tried to go back to sleep but wasn’t successful in the least.  At 8 I gave up and showered. And breakfasted.  With toast and eggs x2.  And iced tea with almond milk.  It seems to be my summer breakfast of choice. Before yoga I had a banana.  And then I got zen.  Ommmmm. As per usual, I went to the WF across the street afterwards. Juice!  I can’t… Read more >

Sabra-cotti

This is a take on my previous manicotti recipe.  Only better.  Kyle called it the best I’ve ever made.  I’d love to take all the credit, but I have a feeling the Sabra tuscan herb garden hummus played a large role too. To make the manicotti filling, I used the entire block of organic extra firm tofu, a heaping 1/2 cup of Sabra hummus, and 1/3 cup frozen spinach.   I crumbled and mixed it all together with a fork (hello arm workout) until it resembled a ricotta cheese texture. Unlike last time, I opted… Read more >

Master Weekend

My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more.   We have both been to True Food Kitchen before.    I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages.  Ever.  It’s ginger, agave, and soda.  Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT.   I’ve gotten  the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >
