I really love seitan and because it’s so simple to make I really have no excuse for not doing so more often. I spend so much cashola on the prepared kinds at Whole Foods. That’s not okay. Especially because I just dropped a thou$and smackers on flights to Spain and Paris (and there may be some car damage repairs in my poor little Civic’s future, too). Contrary to what soon-to-be-revealed purchases may imply, I am not a baller, nor am I made of money. Kyle and I are living on a single income, so it’s… Read more >

In my last post I showed you the prep portion leading up to the start of my work week. I’m glad you all found it informative and inspiring. I promise it’s not as hard as it seems; and once you start doing it week in and week out, it becomes second nature. Yes, I do have some OCD tendencies, and it’s hard for me to imagine a world without checklists, but it’s also what allows me to eat the way I want to (healthy and quick) when things get crazy. While my Type-A personality can… Read more >

As I mentioned yesterday, we left bright and early (6:30 to be exact) to head back to LA. And as painful as it was to get up at 5 to work out before hitting the road, it turned out to be WELL WORTH it. That’s the scene we avoided (source). The grapevine was snowing the entire time we were driving through, and just after we made it out, highway patrol blocked it off. Our friends were just a couple of hours behind us and had to be re-routed to the 101. And they were the… Read more >

Kyle is too lazy to type up a guest post. But ask beg and you shall receive… Here’s a recap of his evening in the kitchen, hippie-style. So without further ado… Candle Cafe’s Seitan Skewers with Chimichurri Citrus-Herb Sauce I found two recipes online and combined them for the marinade with the following proportions: 1 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (thank you bumper crop!) 1/4 cup fresh lime juice ½ cup olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 2 ½ tbsp vegan sugar 3/4 cup chopped parsley 1 cup chopped cilantro 1… Read more >

I know you guys don’t believe me, but working on Christmas Day is not that bad. I mean, obviously I’d prefer to spend the morning in my PJs cozied up by the fireplace, opening presents with my family. But don’t worry, I still made sure it was a festive day at the hospital. After all, my patients need cheer on the 25th too. It also helps that I happen to love my job. And in the back of my mind I know that eventually I will be higher on the totem pole and get the… Read more >
