Peaches! Finally! This is a portion of my haul home from the Brentwood Farmer’s Market. Which is awesome by the way – definitely better than the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market (as much as I hate to admit it). The selection is way beyond produce…they have tons of kinds of hummus…Kombucha…fresh breads…jams…BBQ…baked goods…everything! Seriously stellar. Kyle and I went this past Sunday (the one day of the Labor Day weekend I had off) and came home with figs, peaches, strawberries, and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I’m totally getting off track here. Back to the… Read more >

As you can see, I like my iced tea reallly almond milky. How I make it is recipe-free, but I brew pitchers of tea at a time (no sweetener) using 4 tea bags for my 2 liter pitcher. I add boiling water to it, let it steep for a while then put it in the fridge to cool (but continue to steep) overnight. In the morning I remove the teabags. Then, each day I pour some over 3-4 ice cubes, and then add maple syrup and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Sometimes I can get the… Read more >

I’ve been blogging for over 4 years. I know this because I remember Michael Phelps’ record relay swim was the very first day I blogged. It’s hard to forget something that memorable. Especially since I was at Boat Basin with friends and the scene was insane. In a good way. Anyway, it’s crazy to me that I’ve been at this for so long…in all honesty, I never thought I’d write about food for any real length of time, but here I am, still doing it. My tastes have certainly changed along the way, but many… Read more >

My breakfast was home-made bread (hence the poor slicing) with almond butter. I used up almost the very last bit of it, so I decided to make another batch of nut butter. This time with peanuts. Roasted peanuts to be exact. Deep down I think Kyle prefers peanut butter to almond butter. And we recently bought celery and Ritz crackers, which are two of his favorite things to pile with PB. Honey roasted peanut butter. Kissed with a touch of agave. I had to do some taste testing of the peanut butter,… Read more >

There are certain morning rituals I have. I set my clothes out the night before – the same way each time. I also pack my lunch box the night before. Every single day I work. When my alarm goes off, I never hit snooze, I get up and go. Shower. Scrubs. ID badge. Chapstick in my left pant pocket. Pen in my right shirt pocket. Coffee. Breakfast. Pills. Off to the hospital. I park in the same spot. I wait in the car until the same time. And I sign up for the same break…. Read more >
