Another day another packed lunch. For breakfast I had oats with home-made almond granola on top (I just realized I never posted that recipe). Oops! I intended on eating the banana with the oats, but it was so good on it’s own I didn’t mess with it. I ate this around 9 am – earlier than usual – but two of my three patients wanted to be left alone. Provided they are medically stable, I try to accommodate their wishes as best I can. I can relate to not being a morning person,… Read more >

I was working. And eating. Here’s three shifts-worth of food. Tuesday night: spinach, carrots, quinoa and eggs (topped in Bragg’s and nooch) baby carrots tamari roasted almonds Udi’s bread with Artisana cashew-tahini butter Kettle Pop organic kettle corn Not much to say here. It tasted like kettle corn. Duh. Wednesday night: brown rice, spinach, and Sunshine veggie burger (original) baby carrots Inka Chips sweet plantain chips So good! Even though the whole bag is considered 3 servings (which I obviously ignored and treated as a single serving), the nutritional info is still not bad…. Read more >

Ordinarily I don’t mind floating, but today I was SO not in the mood for it. Fish out of water x 12 hours…blah. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it’s nice to spend a day with a different patient population – like sampling yogurt, you get a small taste without having to commit. But I also love routine (who doesn’t?) and after working yesterday, I was looking forward to having the familiarity that comes with a second shift in a row. Even when patients are busy I’m still able to get a sense of rhythm by… Read more >

You must be sick of non-food (aka house progress) posts by now, huh? Ok, how about my work food for a change of pace (slash return to the real reason I blog). Breakfast… Oats, puffed millet, white chia seeds and sunflower seed butter on top. You want me to back up with that? 1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups boiling water + 1/4 cup puffed millet + 1 tbsp chia seeds Once I let them sit a bit, the water got soaked up and the chia seeds gelled, so… Read more >

Is there anything better than a warm mug of chai tea with almond milk? If so, I’d love to try it. Chai infused breakfasts oats are a start. And Chai cookies are in my future. But for now, I’m going to delight in the simplicity of this tea. Work food. Oatmeal with ground flax seeds, blueberries and vanilla almond milk. Fried millet with veggie and hard boiled egg. Carrots, banana, candied ginger as snacks. Not my usual haul because this was for an 8 hour day, not the full 12. Luckily we were done with… Read more >
