I have a week of food coming your way. And I’m pretty proud of myself because despite Kyle being out of town I did a decent job of still making myself quality meals…as opposed to just half-assing it and rummaging through the fridge after putting P down. Once again, they’re all out of order. When I’m planning the week ahead, I have a vague idea of when I’ll do certain meals based on their hands-on time and my schedule, but I like the option to switch it mid-week if I don’t feel like a certain dish that day… Read more >

Hi, I’m in a salad rut. [never a bad thing] As I’ve repeatedly blogged about, I’m a bit of a prep queen. Whenever I know I have several shifts in a row, I make sure to prepare healthy and flexible food options ahead of time. I hate coming home to an empty fridge (and after 12+ hours on my feet, I definitely don’t have the energy to start cooking a meal from scratch). This week’s examples: Lentils & wheat berries. [Soaking on stand-by] Veggies. [I always have greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, & carrots on… Read more >

My two current obsessions are the following: (1) Peanut butter covered pretzels (2) Sesame sticks These are the kind of items I wind up buying from Whole Foods when I don’t go grocery shopping with Kyle. I call them absolutely-necessary-but-really-totally-unnecessary purchases. And I can (and do!) make entire meals revolve around them. And there’s no end in sight. Exhibit A Exhibit B Exhibit C, D, & E I’m not joking, I crave salads around the clock solely because of these salty, crunchy, and delicious sesame sticks. Even thought the above green beasts all… Read more >

As you all know by now, Sabra courses through my veins like no other. So you can imagine how excited I was last week to find out that THIS was going down on Sunday. Sabra “transformed” Union Square into a Mediterranean Cafe…with samples upon samples upon samples of hummus! Are you there God, it’s me Elise hummus queen? K, if this isn’t reason enough to visit, I don’t think there’s anything more I can offer you? Here I am with one of my 6 free samples of classic hummus and Stacy’s pita chips. They also… Read more >

Propofol, propofol, so much propofol. And yet, no amount seemed too much. I’m not exaggerating when I say this: I gave BEYOND lethal doses of sedatives today, and my patient was still so resistant he spent 12 straight hours trying to extubate himself. Boy was my patience on trial with this guy. Fentanyl, Propofol, Methadone, the list goes on and on…and these weren’t ordinary does either…these were kill-Michael-Jackson-and-his-entire-kid-entourage-doses. OK, sorry for the work rant. I sometimes use this blog to vent, so I ‘pologize for the medical chatter. Back to what I really love to… Read more >
