Going into the weekend I had all my meals ready to go. Starting with Thursday night, I made a typical hippie bowl. If I had to choose a combination of ingredients to eat forevermore it would probably be these: quinoa, carrots, corn, seitan, avocado I recently got a question about the ratio of grain to veg to protein in my “hippie bowl” type meals. In all honesty, I don’t consciously compose them with a specific ratio in mind, but if I had to guess I’d say it is pretty much 1:1:1. Sometimes… Read more >

This past week has been work heavy, which is why I’ve been doing more recipe posts. But my sister hates recipe posts prefers other material (and isn’t afraid to let me know it), so here’s a recap of my weekend. Starting with Friday… I made peanut butter. I made a spinach and pumpkin seed pate. I made bread. I made pancakes. I ate pancakes. I made seitan. I made tofu. And after spending most of the day in the kitchen, Kyle and I opted for a dinner out. We walked to… Read more >

I raved about Earthbound Farm’s organic powermeal salads before, and now I’m gonna give you the opportunity to win a free one to try for yourself! I tried the blueberry quinoa protein salad before we headed to South America. Baby spinach, quinoa, sunflower kernels, dried blueberries, and a balsamic vinaigrette. Unlike last time, I made a slight alteration by adding silken tofu. It wasn’t because I thought the salad needed more protein, it was because I had half a box of ‘fu that I didn’t want to waste. This quinoa tasted different than when I… Read more >

This photo really doesn’t give an accurate picture of my day’s eats because it looks the same as all my other days of pre-packed meals. I had a rough morning (no workout, only 1/2 a cup of coffee) made rougher by the fact that my patients were not doing well. I had one person trying to code on me (HR 40s, SBP 180s, O2 70s) while another was trying to get to the bathroom to throw up (with his broken & non-weight-bearing L hip). I basically had to ignore the puking patient and get my… Read more >

Rhetorical question, but how awesome does my plate look?? I know. So my Thursday morning wasn’t the greatest. Like I mentioned before, I was a zombie when we arrived at Kyle’s parents house late on Wednesday…and even though I slept straight through the night (something I rarely do in my own bed), I still couldn’t seem to get myself up in the morning. So I slept in a bit while Kyle had breakfast solo. Eventually I pried myself from the sheets and stumbled outside for a brisk jog around the neighborhood. I intended… Read more >
