Since I got several questions about how I make my seitan, here’s a quick run down of the process. It may sound complicated, but I swear it’s the easiest thing you’ll ever stick in the oven, so PLEASE don’t be afraid to give it a shot. *I base my recipe off of Vcon’s simple seitan, but I make it with even fewer ingredients and steps (and it still turns out fabulously well). Sometimes less is more, right? Plus this way it is easy to jazz up with flavors and spices in other recipes/dishes that call… Read more >

All I wanted to do on Monday was sleep in. After my weekend of working (mixed with boozing at the office holiday party), I needed rest more than anything in the world (including hummus). And yet, I still woke up at 8 am. Oh well, I’ll take all I can get. I broke the fast with my latest obsession (cocoa coffee) and an apple and then got productive. Laundry done before 10 is impressive for a day off…and that’s not all! I did a few more Q&As, too. Why did you choose nursing? How did… Read more >

Before you all have collective heart attacks, no, I did NOT get sh!t faced while doing my nurse thang. However, Saturday night WAS the cardiac surgery holiday party (aka open bar on the MDs tab). Unfortunately for yours truly, I still had to work my 12 hour shift on Saturday…as well as the next day (Sunday). Boo! I can think of about 15,000 other things I’d rather do after work than put on a dress and pretend that I feel pretty while I’m covered in a patient’s ventilator spew and C. diff. Oh, and did… Read more >

Sunday offered nicer weather than Saturday, but I still wanted warmth in my belly for breakfast. What to make, what to make…french vanilla SO Delicious coconut milk coffee, followed by the world’s thickest bowl of pumpkin oat bran. You would think this would fill me right up, but I was hungry again just a few hours later. I slept in, though, so it was well past noon, and I set to work on lunch. Cubed ‘fu rubbed in cornmeal and paprika, tossed in a skillet, and sizzled to death. Pretty snazzy for a recipe on… Read more >

Lately I’ve been having such rando cravings, I feel like a preggo! (Don’t worry Mom…) I had frozen pizza just the other day, and yet, the following TWO days I had pizza as well. Seriously. Who am I? This is pretty odd considering pizza is not exactly a food I would typically associate with strong feelings of lust. Growing up, it was never a food I especially craved. As fun as pizza parties were, discovering I was lactose intolerant at such a young age severed any chance of forming the quintessential bond that most kids… Read more >
