Don’t judge me

Ladies and gentlemen, Alexia Spicy Sweet Potato Julienne Fries with Chipotle Seasoning.  I wasn’t going to share this…because frankly I am a bit embarrassed by it…but I’m only human after all.  So I opened this bag to make as a dinner “side dish” and guess what?  I ate the whole thing.  By myself.  I know I’m not the first person to ever do such a thing.  But I’m not so sure it’s something I’m proud of.  I like eating what I want, when I want, and not feeling bad or guilty or whatever about it. … Read more >

Sweet vs Savory

First of all, this venti soy misto was FREE, because believe it or not, there are some perks (beyond heart palpitations) to my Gold Card membership and caffeine addiction.  I had to go to the hospital on Tuesday even though I wasn’t working.  Enduring an early wake up call and morning traffic without the promise of a paycheck demands a special treat – hence the Starbeezies. I had breakfast prepared for the waiting room. [Yes I got odd looks as I busted out a tupperware of oats in a waiting room]   This genius creation… Read more >

Confucius says

Some days of work just rock.  Plain and simple.  I leave the hospital feeling like I’m so lucky to have found a job that I not only enjoy, but that allows me to help people.  What’s that saying?  ”Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”  [Confucius]  Yesterday was a great day.  There wasn’t anything extraordinary about it.  In terms of my patient load, it was pretty average.  And yet, I left the hospital feeling so completely content with the 12 hours I had just finished. … Read more >

Klassy boy

The chefs at Napa Valley Grille thought they were making a decadent chocolate cake…   But to my husband, chocolate is chocolate is chocolate. Eaten like a brownie-from-a-box.  Klassy.  My ultra refined taste buds demand much better manners.  I prefer my chocolate in the form of a Larabar – especially the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. I’m so glad I get to spread the Lara-love!  :)  After reading through SO many brilliant comments, I get to finally announce the winner of the Larabar giveaway… Congrats to Clare from Fitting It All In!  [thx random.org]  Just email… Read more >

It’s all Greek

Hi, my name is Elise and I’m lactose intolerant.  If you so desire, you can read all about my GI issues here, but dairy has been out of my life for over a decade, with one (infrequent) exception. Greek yogurt. To be honest, it’s not a food I eat very often anymore.  I used to have it every so often, but then it just kinda fell off my radar.  Anyway, the reason Greek yogurt never officially got the boot from my dairy-free diet was because my stomach never seemed to take issue with it.  My… Read more >
