The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >

I’m back home in the Bay Area after yesterday’s Napa wedding. What a gorgeous and fun time! It was like a college reunion (slash fraternity/sorority event). The only difference is that everyone is married or engaged now. It was kinda silly actually – there were 10 engaged couples at the wedding! Can you believe it? Wedding season much? Of the 250 guests, 50 of us were from UCLA (99% of which were in the same frat and same sorority as the bride and groom). It was cute. Congrats guys! Kyle and I managed to take… Read more >

This week is nurses appreciation week (hooray!) but unfortunately the breakfast potluck party on my unit was the day I left for vacay. Had I not just finished night shift I may have stuck around, but I was so tired and ready to start my two weeks on holiday, I didn’t care too much about free bagels. As soon as I gave report to the day shift nurse I was mentally checked out. I may as well have been in Spain on Thursday. Sad face. Next year I’m going to bring yummy vegan food to… Read more >

You probably do this too – make odd food pairings when your fridge is depleted beyond hope. Since I’m heading to Nor Cal this morning, it’s no wonder the last few days have been extremely random in the meal department. I’m trying desperately to use up all the fresh produce, which means I’m throwing blueberries in my salads (not as bad as you’d think) and pounding asparagus by the second (stinky urine much). My friend dropped off this crate two days ago and since Kyle hates asparagus, I’m single handedly attempting to not waste the… Read more >

A recipe with photos only? Do you think you could handle it? Who are we kidding…I’m no culinary master, so obviously you can follow this process (I promise it’s far from nuclear fusion). Half the ingredients are from the frozen foods section of the grocery store. Here goes nothing. So there you have it! Did you catch the super complicated steps? Sometimes you need a no-muss no-fuss option after 12 hours on your feet. That’s when it’s good to have Gardein products in your freezer. I tried the Mandarin… Read more >
