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 >

Who likes coupons?

I got home from work sooooo exhausted, I couldn’t even be bothered enough to put a proper meal together. Sometimes mixing 4 different kinds of cereal/granola/trail mix just hits the spot. Simple, but stellar.  Dinner doesn’t have to be gourmet to make my belly content.  My first day back to work after my bike accident was a rough one.  I got an easier patient load, but it was still hard at times.  I ached.  Lots.  Even though I alternated between ice and heat packs, none of it really helped. Anyway.  I’m hoping I can tough… Read more >

Carmageddon

First things first, I made coconut blueberry scones yesterday, and I am really pleased with the outcome.  The recipe will be up soon.  Here’s a teaser…   I had three over the course of the afternoon, very much spoiling my appetite for dinner.  They are friggin’ delicious.  Anyway.  I had one before work (breakfast #1).  And then I brought these goods for the rest of the day. Breakfast #2 – oats with silken tofu, raisins, and NuNaturals’  vanilla stevia. Lunch – salad with mixed greens, shredded zucchini, carrots, red quinoa, kelp noodles, and seitan. Snacks… Read more >

No Sara Lee

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 >
