I worked both days this weekend. So on Saturday, while everyone else was frolicking in the sun, I was dealing with my patient who decided she was through with the hospital, and removed her own chest tube. Don’t worry, she’s fine (physically at least…psych-wise I’m still on the fence). Anyways. Yummy pre-packed food includes: raisin/almond/cashew/carob chip mix, dried mango/papaya, Tribe hummus mini-tub, apple, raw salad, and some bars. Odwalla Superfood (I heart every green millimeter of this flavor) and a Cashew Cookie Larabar (also a favorite). The rest of the day flew by uneventfully (just… Read more >

Yes. I have it. And although flair ups have been minimal since I’ve been vegan, I DO still have days when I feel like caca (ironically, from the absence of it). TMI? Sorry. Usually these days are brought on by stress, and as much as I try to avoid it (with my nice planned out schedules), sometimes life throws a wrench in it. Unavoidable. Deal. This weekend, with my 3 shifts in a row schedule, I had to make like Tim Gunn and “make it work.” Comfort foods, aplenty. Review: not too shabby in a… Read more >

I didn’t realize (raw) Wednesday had arrived (already?!) until I was making my lunch last night. I guess that’s what happens when your schedule is completely random. So this is what I packed to eat…but I wasn’t really feeling it. …so THIS is what I actually ate! I heart this place. There’s one in Union Square (easy walking distance from where I work). My ravenous appetite was STILL in full force today, so I polished off the apple and odwalla bar by 9 am…meaning by the time I got off the unit for my… Read more >

I woke up super early for work today, washed my face, brushed my teeth, threw my afro into a pony, and grabbed my pre-packed lunch from the fridge…when the day kinda took a rough turn… Tumbler full of coffee meet hardwood floor. Blog world meet the culprit. **Gena, I TOLD you I shouldn’t be trusted with a cleaver!!! I headed off to work grumpy and non-caffeinated. Not a great start to the day. Today’s pre-packed eats: Big ‘ol salad, strawberry/pomegranate odwalla bar, apple, dried papaya spears and mangoes. Spinach, broccoli slaw, shredded carrots, clover… Read more >

I NEED A BREVILLE!!! Literally, every day I wake up, sigh, and think of the fun Andrea and Jenna (and countless others in the food blog world) are having (that I’m missing out on)… I even have ingredients planned out in my head. I wish I could just win the lottery, I have so many plans for $$ in other peoples’ bank accounts. Instead of juice, I started out my day the way I always do…talk about withdrawal issues. Thank goodness we braved the storm last night, fresh ground coffee is worth soaking wet… Read more >
