Hi, I’m in a salad rut. [never a bad thing] As I’ve repeatedly blogged about, I’m a bit of a prep queen. Whenever I know I have several shifts in a row, I make sure to prepare healthy and flexible food options ahead of time. I hate coming home to an empty fridge (and after 12+ hours on my feet, I definitely don’t have the energy to start cooking a meal from scratch). This week’s examples: Lentils & wheat berries. [Soaking on stand-by] Veggies. [I always have greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, & carrots on… Read more >

You know what this means, right? It means the baking bug hit. It means the kitchen smelled fan-f$%#ing-tastic today. It means I finally sent off the great fundraising act quinoa granola winner’s package. [about effing time Elise] It means the apartment will have lingering coconut scents for the next few days…or until I next steam broccoli. 😉 Oops! Well, it was nice while it lasted. Baking for others feels like a transfer of love. Or a practice of self control. I sampled the three clusters that escaped. And that’s all! Let’s hope the postal… Read more >

Here’s a fun little “would you rather.” It’s pretty much the question that most Angelinos face on a daily basis. Would you rather drive or ride your bike for 12 miles? What if I told you the cycling route would be a guaranteed 60 minute commute, but you may or may not be in your car for 1-2 hours? Welcome to my life. I chose the bike. My parents are in So Cal this week to see all the new babies in the fam, so on Monday night they took us out to dinnah…. Read more >

My meals have been pretty bizarre lately so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have no clue how this meal was born. It came out of nowhere and makes no sense. At first I thought I wanted sweet oats (my normal breakfast thang). But then I saw some leftover tofu and said to myself “why not!” I added chai tea to my oats along with half the block of tofu and mashed them all up together. Then I figured to go full on savory and add in some veggies, nutritional yeast, and Bragg’s… Read more >

My flight(s) to Spain were long. I didn’t know it at the time, but in hindsight I can appreciate how lucky I was with both my seat assignment and the airline accommodations. I managed to snooze through a majority of the first leg of the trip (from SFO to Philly). In PA, my layover was just over an hour. I think that’s the perfect amount of time between flights – bathroom, booze, board. The next leg of my journey was excellent. I had an aisle seat in a three seat row and the middle… Read more >
