I’ll admit it, I’m a carb lover. I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. Brown rice, oats, quinoa, sweet potatoes, whole wheat, etc. – I think they are all part of a healthy, well balanced diet. So are fruits and vegetables. It’s hard to imagine a low-carb plant-based diet. How would that work exactly? Well, that’s the exact dilemma I was faced with last week (after failing my first GTT). While I was waiting to take my second GTT, I tried reducing my carb and sugar intake to see how it might… Read more >

I feel like I’m clinging onto summer with this breakfast. Home-made banana pancakes with strawberries and peaches. This was my first sweet breakfast in a long time. I finally finished off that massive batch of vegan gluten free pancakes that I made a while back, so I had to do actual work in the morning for these. The effort was worth it, but I wish I’d had the energy to make a huge batch so there were leftovers. Part one of lunch was half a sweet potato with tofu scramble. I’ve been on… Read more >

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend. It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek. Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

What. A. Breakfast. You’ve seen this before here. I live and die by this sauce. I had it with leftover pizza. Some dip pizza in ranch dressing…I go for creamy cashew dijon sauce. I was planning on grocery shopping in the afternoon, but the weather was too nice to ignore. You see, every once in a while, the coastal fog cooperates and I get gorgeousness on my days off. Which means, beach time! Don’t let the running shoes deceive you. This was a leisurely walk. For a July week day, the pier… Read more >

I think I’m psychic. Every time I float, I get a “feeling” that it’s gonna happen as I head into work. I swear, I’m not making it up. Yesterday I even said out loud (in my head) “I bet I’m floating today”. And I did! I was on 7 East yesterday, an acute medicine floor (as they call themselves). The last time I floated was probably in the winter, so I’m definitely due, but it’s still odd to me that I sensed it coming. I’ve also been having crazy weird ass dreams lately (which I… Read more >
