Now that’s a lot of food

Turns out I eat a lot.  🙂 Ha.  As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted).  Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES!  Of course!  I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… Read more >

Sudwerk with sister

My sister is already back in Australia, but I still have to recap her visit to Davis last week.   Because the pics are cute and because I am trying to be accountable.  Remember?   Oh, and because this happened.  Yup.  So let’s start at the beginning.  I woke up, did the shred level 1 and made breakfast.   Two slices of banana bread and a fried egg.  While I ate, Kyle went to the MD.  Since we moved I figured we should both get seen for a routine checkup (and meet) with our new… Read more >

That’s how we roll

So…hi again!  I took some time off.  And it was lovely.  Maybe too lovely?  It made me wonder if quitting HHH was an imminent reality… My free time is so precious now.  But I do love having this space to share my latest food and life stuffs…   But I have a job.  And a kid.  And a husband.  And yadda yadda.  I’m triaging my life like a freakin’ ER nurse.  Priority #1 is family.  And as you have now noticed, the blog is definitely on the backburner.  That’s how I roll.  C’est la vie….

Workity work

Hey!  I’m alive!  Ish. This week was crazy.  [Life is crazy]  So many emotions.  Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing.  Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another.  And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another.  All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit.  I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that).  Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

A salad for Mrs. Dubrow

   Summer salads are best served chilled with a cold beer am I right?  Or wine if you’re too fancy for B minus.  Or champagne if you’re Heather Dubrow.  <— yep, I’m getting my Real Housewives fix on bravotv.com For the record, I’m not hating on Mrs. Dubrow.  I happen to love the bubbly myself.  And even though she’s nicknamed “fancy pants”, I bet you she’d like this salad.  But I digress.  You’re here for food not my take on D-list celebs.   I don’t know what the heck to call this dish since every… Read more >
