Last month my dairy-intolerant cousin and I were lamenting over how much we miss cheesecake.  I’m sure we are biased, but our family’s recipe is pretty much the best.  Ever.  I grew up eating it at nearly every holiday and many birthdays too.  Chocolate cake is fine, but I preferred a birthday cheesecake.  Nowadays, there are very few foods that I miss from my pre-lactose-free-life, but cheesecake is definitely one of them.  So I made it a personal mission to attempt a vegan version.  Admittedly, it’s nothing like a “real” cheesecake, but when it comes… Read more >

Carlsbad weekend

Some peeps who follow me on twitter know that my weekend was full of wedding festivities.  It was so fun to get away for a few days and celebrate the marriage of close friends.  Last August, David was one of Kyle’s groomsmen…and this time around Kyle was in David’s wedding party.  Backing up to Thursday real quick.    This was mostly a day of recovery for me.  My neck and back were still achy, so shopping and packing were my “exercise” for the day.  The reason the bed is a mess is because I freaked… Read more >

Unpackaged

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 >

Can’taloupe

A few fruits, like grapes and melon, give me reflux trouble.  It’s not that I can’t eat them, it’s just that I have to eat them alone, stay upright afterwards, and not exercise.  Cantaloupe is one of the main culprits, but I think I found a way to work around it.  Blender! Ignore the color, this was awesome.    It was also crazy healthy – packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats! See that green powder?  That’s the latest item to join the hippie kitchen.    Um.  Whoa.  What I like about this Antioxidant Omega-3… Read more >

A bit bruised

So here’s the sitch.   Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days.  Problem?  Yes.  It gets worse.  I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift.  I feel like I got hit by a bus.  I am so so sore.  It’s unbelievable.  I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised.  I basically feel stiff all over.  Anyway.  I don’t… Read more >
