Good friends, good food, good times

My birthday post last left off with an unopened bottle of Gallo 2007 Cab. We took care of that. Glug glug glug. My birthday suit freakum’ dress – how’d I do Kailey?  I’m fairly certain this was supposed to be a shirt, but I’m not the tallest (ok, I’m short) so I do what I do. For dinner we went to a sushi restaurant in Santa Monica called Wokcano recommended by a friend.  There are a few other locations of this restaurant, all in Southern California. While the rest of our party trickled in, I… Read more >

It’s all coming back…

It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song.  I apologize.  But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work.  I love it!  I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again.  I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food.  *This post is old, so disregard any references to time.  My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up.

Flashback Friday: Hawaiian honeymoon

Who says reminiscing has to be reserved for Fridays, right?  Flashback Saturday anyone?  Today is my birthday, so try and let it slide…  While I huff and puff my heavily candled (28!!) vegan birthday cake, I hope you’ll enjoy reading about our tropical luna de miel. Kyle and I got married on Saturday, August 28th. On Monday the 30th we headed off to Kauai for the most relaxing week of vacation ever.  Our trip started at 4 am (Pacific time), and we didn’t arrive in Hawaii until 5 pm (Island time).  In case you were wondering… Read more >

Liquid love for my achy heart

Still ailing…aching from head to toe.  Brain, body, pretty much everything.  And I’m really getting sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Blah.  Today I had a sneaky chef moment, though.  As my girl Holly says, “sharing is caring” so here you go:  When you’ve hit the wall with carbs and nutbutter (the horror!), but you still have zero desire to eat greens, here’s a delicious way to cheat them into your bod.  PB & Greens Smoothie 3/4 cup almond milk 1 frozen banana 2 shafts of kale, leaves only 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter… Read more >
