clif bar

Westward bound

Off to CA, but here is how my morning has been… Java.  Apples.  Cinnamon.  [Hours of iTunes drama] Another trip to Barnes & Noble (I blame the aforementioned tech issues for my purchase…but if there’s one thing I have learned when flying across the country, it’s to bring way more entertainment/food/supplies than you think you will need). And so here’s what I packed… Z bar, Boomi Bar, Prana Bar, apples, carrots, pretz/nut/raisin/carob chip mix, salad in a tupp. Hopefully this flight will go NOTHING like my last one…I’d really like to rest.

Days that start with the letter “s”

Saturday was a work day.  F to the U.N.  Packed nom-noms are some of the usual suspects, as well as some new members.  Carrots, salad, apples, bars, and a baggie of goodies.  Tummy-wise, I felt a little bit better, but certainly not great.  In the non-transparent bag: almonds, carob chips, raisins, pistachios, cashews, and pretzels. This Belle Bananas Foster flavored 18 Rabbits bar was another winner.  I’m not usually a banana nut fan, but this may be the bar that changes that.  It’s oaty, with good breakability, perfect level of sweetness, and reminds me of… Read more >

My Salsa

To the few people who understand my weird (read: abnormal) humor, this title is for you.  For the rest of you, I’m sorry.  Hopefully this isn’t your first red flag that I’m not exactly “normal,” but if it is…well, there you have it.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  I had a weird dinner tonight.  “My salsa makes all the pretty girls dance…” Yeah, Eminem knows ‘wassup. So before you close this page in disgust, allow me to explain.  ‘Cado + salsa + large-and-in-charge amounts of roasted red pepper hummus = Spreadable brilliance.  So why limit… Read more >

Such a tease

This Monday was especially painful because the sun was radiating into my patients’ rooms all day long.  It was heavenly, but I was stuck in the hospital.  So it was agonizingly beautiful.  Such a tease!  At least I had good food to enjoy on my lunch break… Bars, apples, baggies, tupperware.  Fabulous. In the tupp:  spinach, seaweed salad, carrots, broccoli, and pepitas.  To the people who asked, I sometimes make my own seaweed salad, but this one was store bought (you can see a different salad of the same brand here).  Occasionally they have them… Read more >

Marching on…

I would just like to say how awesome it is entering the subway at 5:45 am in darkness and reemerging to a glorious sunrise.  Light in the morning!  Can I get a hell yeah? Anyways, here are my eats, pre-packed and ready for the trek to the hospital… Apples, salad, carrots, hummus, and bars (PB&J Dipped MoJo bar, Super Protein Odwalla bar, and the latest PranaBar flavor to rock my world).  In zee salad: spinach, steamed brocc, zucch, sesame/seaweed salad, and dried cranz. My feelings about the Cranberry Goji Supercharger PranaBar cannot be masked.  Effing… Read more >
