That’s how we roll

So…hi again!  I took some time off.  And it was lovely.  Maybe too lovely?  It made me wonder if quitting HHH was an imminent reality… My free time is so precious now.  But I do love having this space to share my latest food and life stuffs…   But I have a job.  And a kid.  And a husband.  And yadda yadda.  I’m triaging my life like a freakin’ ER nurse.  Priority #1 is family.  And as you have now noticed, the blog is definitely on the backburner.  That’s how I roll.  C’est la vie….

Peach Cornbread Muffins

Like I said before, these are a cross between cornbread and muffins and fruit pie.  Slightly sweet, hearty yet delicate, and light enough to eat a few without feeling like a sloth afterwards. Good for breakfast, snacking, or dessert!    Hearty Gluten Free Peach Muffins [vegetarian, gluten free, yields 12 muffins] Ingredients: 1/2 cup almond flour 1/2 cup cornmeal (medium grind) 1/2 cup brown rice flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/3 cup vegan butter/coconut oil, melted 1 egg 1/4 cup goat’s milk plain kefir 2 tsp… Read more >

Workity work

Hey!  I’m alive!  Ish. This week was crazy.  [Life is crazy]  So many emotions.  Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing.  Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another.  And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another.  All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit.  I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that).  Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

A salad for Mrs. Dubrow

   Summer salads are best served chilled with a cold beer am I right?  Or wine if you’re too fancy for B minus.  Or champagne if you’re Heather Dubrow.  <— yep, I’m getting my Real Housewives fix on bravotv.com For the record, I’m not hating on Mrs. Dubrow.  I happen to love the bubbly myself.  And even though she’s nicknamed “fancy pants”, I bet you she’d like this salad.  But I digress.  You’re here for food not my take on D-list celebs.   I don’t know what the heck to call this dish since every… Read more >

The last weekend

Dramatic post title, huh. Even though I’ve already technically started work, it has all been fluff stuff, like HR paperwork, physical eval, etc.  So this weekend was my last REAL weekend as a stay-at-home mom.  It’s sad.  I am trying not to think about what I’m missing while I’m away.  But I do like that I can re-discover myself again outside of my mom role.  I wouldn’t go back to nursing if I didn’t love it. Anyway, Friday was a pretty boring day.  I dragged P to Sac with me because I had an appointment… Read more >
