Amy's

The mother of invention

Necessity is the mother of invention.  At least that’s how the phrase goes.  Desperation is more like it… The other night was just a typical night in the scheme of my pregnancy.  I wasn’t craving anything remotely healthy, but I also couldn’t figure out what I even wanted to eat.  Even though we had plenty of options in the fridge, I wasn’t feeling any of it.  Kyle made himself dinner, but I didn’t want what he was having either.  So I held out, waiting for my appetite to reveal itself.  Finally I decided I wanted… Read more >

Day to night

I had an awkward transition mid-week from a normal routine to a night shift routine.  The first day is always awkward.  I woke up at 7:30 and tried to go back to sleep but wasn’t successful in the least.  At 8 I gave up and showered. And breakfasted.  With toast and eggs x2.  And iced tea with almond milk.  It seems to be my summer breakfast of choice. Before yoga I had a banana.  And then I got zen.  Ommmmm. As per usual, I went to the WF across the street afterwards. Juice!  I can’t… Read more >

Wedding, Beach & Tennis

What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast.   Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup.  It was stellar!  I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it.  I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

Free time

Our days of mid-week play are over.  Kyle started his new job this week, and it’s probably almost as sad for him as it is for me.  I loved having him around on my days off.  A lot of the time he was working from home, but I’d still rather sit across from him in silence than have him gone at the office all day.  Oh well.  School is done.  Now we are grown ups, I guess.  On our last day together (a Saturday), we slept in, lazed in the backyard sun, and then went… Read more >

Sleep eating

  Despite the fact that I had to leave the party early because I was working night shift (a situation made even more depressing due to the fact that I missed a call to get the day off because the hospital was overstaffed), I still had a nice day.   With friends and food and outdoor fun. I had an Amy’s California veggie burger on a toasted bun (Bristol Farms) with guacamole, mustard, lettuce, and tomato. Deeeelish. This meal actually prompted a week long series, in which I ate burgers and sandwiches for every lunch… Read more >
