Mid-week vacation

Well hello! I keep thinking it’s Sunday night because Kyle and I just got back from an overnight stay in San Juan Capistrano.  We randomly decided to skip town after Kyle’s classes on Wednesday…he only has class one day a week and I didn’t have to be back at the hospital ‘til Friday, so why not? Kyle’s parents were happy to see us and took us to dinner at a new Thai place that just opened near their house. If you think the name is cheesy, you should see the menu!  Thai Juan On is… Read more >

Salty, sweet, savory, scrumptious

Any resemblance this sweet & salty snack has to an eight legged arthropod is completely unintentional. I made them on the late night because I was craving both chocolate and salt at the same time and couldn’t find anything on hand that would satisfy my sophisticated palate.    I would rather die before heading to bed with an un-sated appetite, so clearly I had to make something to get my dessert fix.  cocoa powder peanut flour water raw almonds pretzel sticks turbinado sugar (or stevia) Mix the cocoa, peanut flour, sugar, salt and water until… Read more >

They aren’t all amazing

I think there’s a misconception about how I eat.  For every new recipe I create and share with you guys, there are five others I don’t show because they look like this… Oatmeal with melty peanut butter, cinnamon, and raisins.  Not exactly reinventing the wheel with this one.   I don’t have magic spells that bake cakes while I’m at work (Sleeping Beauty reference anyone?), nor do I have ingenuity oozing from my pores.  Especially after 12 hours of nursing.   Simple is fine by me.   So whether it’s oats with the works or… Read more >
