This photo really doesn’t give an accurate picture of my day’s eats because it looks the same as all my other days of pre-packed meals. I had a rough morning (no workout, only 1/2 a cup of coffee) made rougher by the fact that my patients were not doing well. I had one person trying to code on me (HR 40s, SBP 180s, O2 70s) while another was trying to get to the bathroom to throw up (with his broken & non-weight-bearing L hip). I basically had to ignore the puking patient and get my… Read more >

Forget this Black Friday business, I’m too stuffed to function. I am actually having a hard time looking at the food photos I have from Thanksgiving…but the pictures of the kiddos…I could look at those all day. It may be a while before I can comfortably post Thursday’s meal(s), but I have pre-feast work food to share. First up, a peanut flour/oat breakfast. In addition to oats and peanut flour, I stirred in some home-made granola and chia seeds as well. Sometimes my breakfast bowls look semi-watery and I occasionally get questions… Read more >

Let’s start with dessert(s). I had three times the bowl you see below. Heavy on the candied ginger. In case you were wondering, the Whole Foods on the westside have finally restocked their candied ginger supply, so this is their brand (as opposed to the Trader Joe’s kind that I’ve been hoarding for the past few months). Whole Foods’ ginger is crystallized, so there is more sugar, but it’s also spicier. I prefer the spicy kind. Check it. A mitten shaped piece! After I had sated my sweet tooth, I made food for… Read more >

I worked this weekend which was whatever. I don’t feel like talking about it. I do feel like sharing my packed up eats though. I made a pumpkin raisin chia pudding the day before, so I added some of it to my overnight oats, along with a banana. Here’s the mix all stirred up together… Soaking raisins plumps them up to such a delightful state! Here’s the rest of the goodies…carrots, corn nuts, granola bar, banana bread, candied ginger, salty dark chocolate. I have been storing these dried fruit and nut granola bars… Read more >

As far as I’m concerned, it’s officially Fall. And in the spirit of the season, pumpkin puree is back on the menu. Remember this bread recipe? Well, how about a FODMAPS friendly oat bake version? Pumpkin Banana Oat Bake (v, gf) oats water cinnamon coconut chia seeds I didn’t really measure the ingredients, just pulsed them in the magic bullet and gave the chia seeds some time to gel. While the oat mix cooked in the microwave (I put it for 1.5 minutes because I was too lazy to wait for… Read more >
