My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more. We have both been to True Food Kitchen before. I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages. Ever. It’s ginger, agave, and soda. Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT. I’ve gotten the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >

On the left: almond butter and bananas On the right: peanut butter/maple syrup and bananas Kyle’s been out of town, so I have been sleeping in, making big batches of pancakes and eating them while watching TV on my computer. So lazy. Aforementioned “big batches” last me until well after noon. So I figure if I’ve had a few courses of pancakes, it counts as breakfast AND lunch,… Read more >

And after spending most of the day in the kitchen, Kyle and I opted for a dinner out. We walked to… Read more >

Guess what finally opened!!! Tender Greens’ new Santa Monica location! I have been waiting for this for quite some time (remember last week when I tried to go and it wasn’t open yet?). While I was thrilled to learn that it was opening this past weekend, I was sad that it happened while I was away in NYC. Naturally I made a beeline for the place as soon as we got back in town. 🙂 I took Kyle and my girlfriend Lauren with me. Lauren got the Harvest salad with Organic Fruit, Artisan Cheese, Local… Read more >

Finally! A bit of a break from the hospital. The past few days have been busy busy because I’m out of town this weekend which means all my shifts got crammed into the beginning of the week. What that means for you all is this post will be full of several pre-packed work meals. L to R: Bread, Salad, Dried Fruit & Nut Bar The bread was a fresh french roll from WF bakery. It had a ménage à trois with hummus and carrots later in the day. Sexy. The salad was a… Read more >
