Stuffing in Spring

  I rarely care about special holiday meals on day’s I work (usually I just reschedule holiday celebrations* as it suits my hospital schedule), but for some reason I was dead set on an Easter Dinner that didn’t involve reheating leftovers.  However, as I already shared, I was at the hospital all weekend.  Which meant Kyle ditched Santa Monica to spend the holiday with his parents.  Which meant I was in charge of providing whatever “special something” I wanted for myself.  Cooking a real meal (without the microwave) after 12+ hours of nursing is ludicrous. … Read more >

Soup Station

This was my vision for dinner last night. Turned out pretty much exactly how I pictured it! Bonus: it was way tastier than I could have ever hoped for!

Hangover food

This weekend was amazingly fun, and somehow I came away with zero photos.  Zero! I’m blaming it on my super small clutch, which doesn’t fit a camera in any way shape or form.  Anyway, as you can probably deduce from the title of this post, we’ve had some wild ones lately.  It started with Friday night…followed by Saturday day.  Weddings are the best!   Sunday morning, however, was rough.  How to do a hangover brunch vegan-style?  There better be something with simple carbs and fat involved.  And since my stomach is sensitive to greasy foods,… Read more >
