As you all well know, I pack my own food to bring to work every single day. Some days I don’t take photos because I have leftovers that I’ve already shared (or I’m just lazy). Sometimes I take pictures and then forget to post them, and then they pile up on my hard drive. <— I’m pretty sure I’m eerily close to a crash. Power lunching in 5…4…3…2…and go. Breakfast: overnight oats soaked with chia seeds, cinnamon and raisins Snack: Marchini almonds Not as good as regular almonds in my opinion. They… Read more >

I leave for work and it’s pitch black outside…12 hours later I leave the hospital and it’s again darkness. I can’t really complain since I spent Friday on the beach with Kyle (summer sun in October, what whaaaat). But I worked this weekend and tried to take a photo out the kitchen window before I left…just to show the lack of light. Didn’t really work. :( It’s so dark out, all you can see is my reflection. My breakfast is far more photogenic. Quinoa on quinoa? Why not! I added Sweet Almond & Quinoa… Read more >

Just popping in to let you all know that this week’s galactans challenge is still in full effect. Each day I’ve been testing my digestive system’s limits with a different member of the category – including peas, beans, lentils…and hummus. Oh glorious hummus. [For a list of the others galactan foods check here] I somehow managed to delete the final product of this banana, oat, pumpkin combo. So, yeah. This is all I’ve got. Work eats: salad, Halo s’mores ProBar , Enjoy Life chewy cocoa loco bar. This salad was just your average… Read more >

On my unit we have break relief nurses who come in from 11:45 to 5:15 and cover nurses (two at a time) for their hour long lunch breaks. We sign up for time slots at the beginning of the work day starting at 1200. I usually try and get one of the 1300 breaks because noon is too early, but I would be starving with any of the later options. The last one is at 1600. Anyway, since we use our own staff to work that shift, it’s a pretty seamless transition. It’s a good… Read more >

“Home is where the heart is” Yup. It’s true. Lucky for me, I consider both the Bay Area AND Santa Monica “home.” So even though it was a total joy to spend the weekend with my parents and sister, I’m glad to be back with Kyle. Win win. Eventually I will recap the wedding in more detail (so fun!), but for now, I’m trying to get organized for work tomorrow (reality check…wah wah). I had leftovers from Patxi’s for Saturday brunch. I had baby carrots a la mode because I enjoy fiber. Even day… Read more >
