Tips for road trips

I’ve done drive after drive after drive up and down the I-5.  I’ve been doing it for my entire life.  At least ten times every year.  That’s a LOT of time in the car. Packing for hours on the road is actually fairly similar to packing for work (another one of my areas of expertise). So I figured I’d pass on my tips for travel. Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Kia Motors 1. Pack more than you think you’ll need. I don’t care if my trip is only supposed to take 3… Read more >

Making a salad a meal

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 >
