Perfect puddin’

I took my sweet time posting this recipe because I wanted it to be perfect.  I wasn’t looking for anything fancy.  My criteria were the following: quick low on sugar no fake sugar dessert worthy chocolate substantial In other words, I wanted something that I could whip up with ease, that would satisfy my sweet tooth, without excess sugar.  However, I wanted it to be made of real ingredients so it would both hold me over and offer something nutritionally. Perfect puddin’ (v, gf) Ingredients: 7 oz. soft tofu (1/2 block) 1 tbsp chia seeds… Read more >

Foodies and fundraisers

First off, can I just say cancer is a mother effer.  We all can agree on this I’m sure.   On July 25th I will be auctioning off a home-made treat for The Great Fundraising Act.  Susan needs to focus on keeping her energy levels high and leave woes of hospital bills to bloggers.  Susan, me, Janetha, and Holly Ready to get your bid on?  Good.  Now.  Raise your hand if you are obsessed with cookbooks and other food related reading materials.  Ok, for all the foodies with their hands in the air, this next… Read more >

Presents from patients

Since I am working all day shifts this month (hooray!) I have been doing my usual 4 am rise-and-shine before work.  Taking Jillian on at the crack of dawn may seem crazy to most people, but I feel like a bada$$ when I’m done.  So worth it.  Since I did level 3 of The Shred the previous day, I decided to switch it up on Wednesday.   I buy fitness magazines from time to time (they are my rare grocery store check-out treats), but I never do the workouts inside.  Not that I’m an expert… Read more >
