Tasting the competition

I have made it my personal mission to try Surprisingly Vegan’s competition… It’s a hard job, but somebody’s gotta do it.*  Right? *False: nobody has to do it, this is an entirely self-imposed task Peanut butter melted on top of fresh strawberry slices on top of a frozen waffle.  All in the name of brand research… I will spare you the name of the company I tried here (it was also vegan and gluten free), but let the record state, the frozen varieties may as well be toast because there wasn’t much waffle flavor going… Read more >

Readers request: locker load

This is the first post in a series of posts I’m working on for everyone who has requested that I share my tips on packing food for a long work day.  As some one who (a) has 12 hour shifts and (b) has fairly high standards for what I put in my body, it’s easier for me to pack my own meals.  The obstacles for such a feat include: access to a fridge, storage space for ‘yo extra stash, and anticipating cravings. I’ll address packing my daily eats in a future post.  For now, I’m… Read more >

Saturday take-away

Working on the weekends isn’t too bad when the days are mellow and the weather is mediocre (I swear I heard the phrase “June gloom” six hundred and fifty three times yesterday).  Having interesting patients helps too… My shift flew by and as 7 pm approached I texted dinner plans to Kyle.  me: Veggie Grill take-away tonight? kyle: yes.  what do you want? me: Baja Fiesta salad, add chik’n, dressing on the side   Done and done. I got this same order last time so I knew it would hit the spot.  This time I… Read more >

Emergently

I’m not an overly dramatic person (must be the residual effects of my tomboy youth…) but I have to say, the lack of candied ginger in ALL the local Whole Foods stores has me freaking out.  I am officially out.  Like Kyle’s chapstick stash, I had back-ups upon back-ups, but they are all depleted now.  Yikes.  Hoarding fail.   It gets worse!  The above photo is the last of my carob chip stash too.  Folks, this is a state of national emergency.  My pre-packed work eats will just have to do without my beloved ginge. … Read more >
