I literally was craving brekkie foods all day…so why fight it. I had today off from work (finally), so I allowed myself to sleep in and it felt great!! Normally when I work, I have to wait to take my lunch break until my patients are stable, which sometimes isn’t until well after noon, so I end up going HOURS between my AM starbucks loading and my PM lunch (hence the need for my daily odwalla bars). Anyways, the point I am getting at, is that after working several days in a row, I miss… Read more >

Today was a totally snack-y day. I didn’t even really do meals, I was just grazing all day long. That’s the bad part about about having days off when the weather is only 15 degrees outside.

Since I woke up earlier than usual, I got hungry earlier than usual, so I made some french toast that I doused in Earth Balance. This whole wheat Alvarado Street bread is good, maybe even better than the California… Read more >

So, today’s breakfast must have been subconsciously inspired by the Superbowl, since I had a super bowl of oats followed by another super bowl of soy yogurt with figs and raisins. I think Bob’s Red Mill is my fave brand of oats now. They are so fluffy, despite being “quick” oats. I added in creamy peanut butter, carob covered raisins, and vanilla soy milk. Carob covered raisins are amazing to add in to oats because they melt and you are left with a bowl of raisins along with a slight “chocolate” flavoring to your oats. … Read more >
