Here’s the line-up (the photo shows the eats in chronological order of consumption). And here’s the hourly breakdown… 7:30 pm – I pack the above eats for work. 8:30 pm – In an attempt to get back on track, I tuck into the covers extra early. 4:14 am – My alarm goes off and Kyle lovingly nudges shoves me out of my slumber to shut off the beeping. 4:30 am – Jillian Michaels makes me regret seeing the sunrise with weights and cardio. 5:00 am – Shower time. 5:15 am – I sip on coffee… Read more >

Clean eats with minimalist descriptions. Ready, set, blog. Pumpkin Pie smoothie Toast with “cream cheese” and cinnamon. I have mixed feelings about Tofutti cream cheese. It’s got an odd saltiness to it that can sometimes make for an unexpected flavor, but it’s great for subbing into pasta dishes. It does melt when it meets warm bread, which is a win in my book. 🙂 Self explanatory addiction. Ditto to the above. Avocado + pea mash up It’s not easy being green…when avocado is involved. On toasted sprouted bread. My night shift work eats… Read more >

Shout out to anyone who recognizes this title (and picture). Too bad VHS tape players are basically extinct because this is a classic as far as I’m concerned. And now, may I present to you, our island of misfit toys… Sad, but true, these do not get used often enough. I have no excuse. It’s something I’m pretty ashamed to admit actually. So I hereby vow to use both the slow cooker and the juicer once a week. Do we have a deal? Good. The inspiration for this crock-pot soup came from here. All I… Read more >

Starting the day with stove-top oats is becoming a nice ritual on non-work days. On Saturday, I woke up at 7:30 without an alarm (not ideal), but embraced it and jump kicked the weekend with some coffee…and blogging. Evidently, I took zero photos of my beautiful cup of joe. And yet, somehow I wound up with 800 pictures from my pumpkin oat cooking session. The recipe isn’t rocket science, and yet, I feel like it’s so pretty that I’m committing a crime in not taking pictures. Don’t worry, I deleted half of them, so now… Read more >

This is probably the easiest recipe ever. I almost feel like a fraud using the word “recipe.” As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been hankering for sweets in a major way lately. Lord knows I have plenty of chocolate on hand, but what I was really craving was something more snack-like. I went to Whole Foods in search of something to satisfy my appetite… Sweet AND snacky? What oh what could possibly meet such demanding criteria!?! [sarcasm] After discovering they were out of candied ginger (the tragedy!!), I made my way to the bulk bins aisle. … Read more >
