Monday started bright and early (well, if we are being technical about it, I never went to bed Sunday night…sooo…I guess it started at the stroke of midnight?). Whatever. I got home around 8 am and immediately showered, put on my PJs, and started some oats on the stove. I added a chopped gala to cook with the oats. By the way, this was a pretty hefty batch (in the 2 cup range). Can you believe this bowl was only half the yield? I was feeling crazy so I decided to bust open a… Read more >

I haven’t had very many interesting things to share. The weather went from shorts and tank-top temperatures to bundle in layers degrees. Don’t you gauge the season by outfits, too? I still fit a 4 mile run in yesterday between stuffing my face with brownies. One, two, buckle my shoe unbuckle my belt… Okay, okay, I didn’t JUST have brownies (as if you’d judge me either way). I had a huge bowl of nearly-spilling-over-the-edge oatmeal. 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup frozen blueberries dash of cinnamon drip of NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia… Read more >

I was going to try and throw down a quick recap of this “holiday” weekend, but alas, my ramblings got the best of me…it may be picture dense, but it’s not so quick. Saturday was the main event, if you will, but Friday was pretty sweet too. Kyle and I made a Costco run – always dangerous when you’re a foodie living on a student budget. Key purchases worth noting… Almond Butter (this jar is the size of my head) Sabra hummus x3 including spinach artichoke and roasted pine nut flavors plus individual mini tubs… Read more >

Work on Thursday left me mentally drained. I could hardly muster the energy to share the lentil loaf recipe (but it’s effing amazing so I found a way). Sigh. I’m still in a funk but I’ll spare you all and simply show off my packed food. When pears are on their last legs, I get worried that transport will be the kiss of death, and so instead of risking mush upon arrival, I go a different (safer) route. Chopping it up and adding it on top of oatmeal seems to be the best option. The… Read more >

They say evidence is damning. And I have to agree. My camera has been revealing some of these truths. Here’s proof… …that I should always cook oats on the stove or eat them raw …that working three shifts in a row can cause you to add extra zeros (at least it was the microwave – which has far less disastrous consequences than a patient’s meds!) …that everything is salvageable (just add nut butter) …that I will never get bored of apples …that you can make quinoa “ghetto” …that my patients are turning me into a… Read more >
