And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right? 🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever! I think it’s cliché either way you look at it. Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF. This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

I will eat it. Now since I want you to get it just right; here’s how to build the most be-udi-ful breakfast bowl. Assemble your team. I like a balance of textures, so I went with an apple, a pear, The Greek Gods plain greek yogurt, and Udi’s gluten free Original granola. If the granola didn’t have dried fruit and nuts already in it, they would have been supplemented by moi. Fortunately, Udi’s granola is legit enough to already contain the goods. I loved Udi’s Au Naturel flavored granola (seriously top notch stuff) so I… Read more >

Happy 2011 everyone! I know I promised the giveaway winners today, but I’m not quite ready yet… Since I’ve been MIA for the past few days, I have some catching up to do first. Even though I got the 31st and 1st off of work, I was still at the hospital for the rest of 2010. And so before ringing in the New Year, I packed up my lunches as per usual. The above is what I call operation use-up-leftovers. Chopped NutsOnline dried figs + golden delicious apples + quinoa seasoned with stevia and cinnamon… Read more >

Breakfast #1 – awkwardly photographed home-made trail mix of raw almonds, raisins, carob chips, cheerios, and Three Sisters cinnamon sweets. Eaten while Kyle drove me to work at 6:20. Breakfast #2 – quinoa, shredded coconut, chopped apple, goji berries and dried cranberries. Eaten between grand rounds at 10ish. I have discovered a new way to eat quinoa that makes for an amazing breakfast…allow me to share with you. First, I add soy milk to it. I fill it to the top like I’m adding milk to a cold cereal. Then, I microwave it for a… Read more >

I’d been looking forward to Saturday’s date with Lynn since we first lined our lunch up last month. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed on Friday night until almost 4 am. Oops! Clearly I woke up regretting that scheduling decision. As much as I have matured in the party planning realm, one key thing I forgot about raging into the wee hours is how much of a worthless sloth I tend to be the next day. Hangover aside, I’m a trooper (and I like food blogger meet ups). So come noon, I found myself on… Read more >
