I don’t have a particularly fantastic work schedule at the moment, but at least I’m on day shift for the entire month. So I’m certainly not complaining! After a sweaty morning sesh with Jillian, I enjoyed a scone before heading into the office hospital. Here’s the stash I brought along. What a snack scene! That would be, dehydrated apple rings, dark chocolate covered edamame, candied ginger, Nature’s Path Chococonut bar, mini PB cookie Larabar, mixed dried fruit, and a baggie of home-made cereal/nut/dried fruit trail mix. Breakfast number two was oats with a… Read more >

Nothing too interesting going on in this casa. Simple weekend fun. I woke up at 8 feeling much better than yesterday (thanks for all the well wishes). It’s funny how every time I mention I’m not feeling well the first question people ask is “are you pregnant?” In fact, anytime anything remotely baby related comes up in conversation people think it’s appropriate to ask when I’m planning to have kids. I can’t even say “awww” to a cute little toddler without people assuming it means I’m getting ready for mommy mode. I don’t really mind… Read more >

The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >

Work on Thursday left me mentally drained. I could hardly muster the energy to share the lentil loaf recipe (but it’s effing amazing so I found a way). Sigh. I’m still in a funk but I’ll spare you all and simply show off my packed food. When pears are on their last legs, I get worried that transport will be the kiss of death, and so instead of risking mush upon arrival, I go a different (safer) route. Chopping it up and adding it on top of oatmeal seems to be the best option. The… Read more >

The titles I was considering with the letter “K” would all be flagged as inappropriate if taken out of context, so I will simply say, I had 3 different meals with “K” foods the other day. The first was more of a breakfast snack really. Enjoyed with a home-made cappuccino. Make that a kappuccino (meaning it was dairy-free). I frothed up a full cup of rice milk then heated it and added it to a shot of caffeine. The foam took up half the cup, but the rest of the milk made the most rich… Read more >
