Hold me over oatmeal

  This bowl you see here?  It was something special.  I am determined to figure out the exact caloric and macronutrient breakdown because it kept me full for HOURS without weighing me down at all.  I finished it and felt both light as a feather and completely satisfied.  That’s a hard line to walk.  So what was in it? 1 cup dry whole rolled oats 2 cups water 1/4 avocado 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 fried eggs   I never wait for the water to boil before adding oats, I just throw them in at… Read more >

A winner and some extra stuff

I’m not promising you’ll care about all these things, but I’ll share the most important thing first. *Giveaway winner* Congrats to Hope who said “I am most interested in the Best Digestive Enzymes to help with my IBD issues I’ve been dealing with.” I’m thrilled that you get to try Doctor’s Best products – send me your mailing address so I can get them out to you.    Now for the fun part.  Grab a cup of coffee and get cozy because last week (maybe longer ago?) I was tagged to do a fun little… Read more >

From Gwyneth Paltrow’s bestie

My sister really likes food.  She also really likes celebrities.  She has been known to say “I feel like we could be best friends” about several A-listers (and some B-listers too).  But I won’t tease her too much because she’s moving to another country soon and I’m afraid if I’m not nice to her she’ll never come back.   Posting this photo isn’t a great start. Anyway.  Every time we talk she is raving about a new recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow, so I told her to send me a guest post.  And she delivered.  Take… Read more >

An attempt at entirety

Ready for an entire day of food?  It’s rare that I do these kinds of posts anymore and after yesterday I realized why.  It’s hard to get everything! For example, I had a bagel set out for breakfast, but when I got up I didn’t feel like it.  Correction, I felt like something else.  A cookie to be specific.   That’s because this tupperware was sitting on the counter mocking me as I made my coffee.  I knew if I didn’t have one, I’d be thinking about them all day and would likely have a… Read more >

My concerns for travel to South America

1. Food.  Could a country prided for it’s steakhouses be vegan friendly as well? 2. IBS.  Tied with the above, but my GI system is so sensitive there’s more to it’s “issues” than just diet.  Foreign anything (and everything) is a risk – even the act of traveling offers enough stress to induce a flare up. 3. Fitness.  Exercise is the source of stress relief I seek.  It’s more of a mental release from the daily grind of nursing and such – so I didn’t anticipate having much stress while on vacation.  But I’m still… Read more >
