Happy Thanksgiving!! [slash happy birthday to my sister] I’ve been working all week, so I don’t have anything that’s current to share. Mostly my same old same old. In lieu of a post about my work food, I’m just going to recap the remainder of my hangover recovery from last Sunday. But first, a simple THANK YOU to my readers. I love writing, but I admit it’s all the more enjoyable knowing there are other people out there who like reading my musings (besides my in-laws). I have a ton to be grateful for… Read more >

Oops! I nearly deleted these pics before I realized I never shared the recipe with you guys! Sorry for this long overdue post from a meal that I made two weeks ago. I always forget to use almond butter in savory meals because for some weird reason I associate it with sweet dishes. Probably because I prefer sweet dishes. Especially in my morning oats, which is when I most frequently reach for nut butters in general. Not this time! My parents were out for the evening (because they have a better social life than I… Read more >

They say evidence is damning. And I have to agree. My camera has been revealing some of these truths. Here’s proof… …that I should always cook oats on the stove or eat them raw …that working three shifts in a row can cause you to add extra zeros (at least it was the microwave – which has far less disastrous consequences than a patient’s meds!) …that everything is salvageable (just add nut butter) …that I will never get bored of apples …that you can make quinoa “ghetto” …that my patients are turning me into a… Read more >

Starting the day with stove-top oats is becoming a nice ritual on non-work days. On Saturday, I woke up at 7:30 without an alarm (not ideal), but embraced it and jump kicked the weekend with some coffee…and blogging. Evidently, I took zero photos of my beautiful cup of joe. And yet, somehow I wound up with 800 pictures from my pumpkin oat cooking session. The recipe isn’t rocket science, and yet, I feel like it’s so pretty that I’m committing a crime in not taking pictures. Don’t worry, I deleted half of them, so now… Read more >

Who says reminiscing has to be reserved for Fridays, right? Flashback Saturday anyone? Today is my birthday, so try and let it slide… While I huff and puff my heavily candled (28!!) vegan birthday cake, I hope you’ll enjoy reading about our tropical luna de miel. Kyle and I got married on Saturday, August 28th. On Monday the 30th we headed off to Kauai for the most relaxing week of vacation ever. Our trip started at 4 am (Pacific time), and we didn’t arrive in Hawaii until 5 pm (Island time). In case you were wondering… Read more >
