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 >

Still working. Still eating. Breakfast: Oatmeal with the works. Lunch: Chop Salad [see below]. Dessert: Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate squares (one with caramel filling, one with raspberry filling) and candied ginger. Snacks: home-made carrot cornbread, salty nuts, Cocomo Joe green joebar. I made a co-worker try the cocomo joebar because she was talking all this trash earlier in the day about how hummus was gross (but she’d never tried it) and I was annoyed. So when she walked in the break room in the afternoon and I had just opened my green bar, of course… Read more >

While looking at my latest food photos I noticed a trend… My new polishes and my recent meals are far too similar in color scheme to be coincidental. Looks like my subconscious has a preference for certain hues right now. 🙂 Top Left: corn meal grits with Bragg’s aminos and avocado Top Right: spinach salad with quinoa, eggs, & carrots Bottom Left: tempeh scrambler Bottom Right: The Better Chip chips (love!)

Knowing my friends are frolicking in the sun while I’m begging patients to go on walks and administering suppositories…it’s tough. It doesn’t matter HOW much you love your job, when the weekend arrives and others are not working and you are, it’s just a bummer. Holiday weekends are especially difficult. My three day weekend was spent in the hospital. Wah wah. Ordinarily, I avoid 3-in-a-rows like I avoid C. diff, but knowing I was getting Memorial Day pay (time and a half) and the weekend differential made it sort-of okay. After all my income has… Read more >

Even though we live blocks away from some of the finest veg-friendly establishments in LA, who can deny the fun in being 100% lazy. Vegging on the couch in PJs with dinner from Real Food Daily. Yes please. On the left: Kyle’s RFD burger with the works. On the right: my Salisbury seitan with mashed potatoes and gravy. Since it’s hard to tell what the burger looks like in the container, here’s a zoom of it (mid-grub). Or you could see his order in this post. He sure loves that burger. We each… Read more >
