Purple Potato Eaters

To be honest, I have never liked potato salad.  It looks really gross.  That’s probably due to the mayo, which I also never liked.  White creamy condiments give me the heebie jeebies.  Potato salad is kinda the quintessential picnic food though, right?  I can recall many outdoor get-togethers and summer BBQs that had potato salad as a side dish (usually a fairly untouched dish).  It seems so un-American to dislike it.  But I guess I feel similarly about many other “classic American” foods, too…burgers and fries?  I’ll pass.  Why does the US have such crappy… Read more >

Simply smile

The other day I had a unique take on oatmeal for breakfast. It wasn’t really oatmeal.  Nor was it breakfast.  Nor was it intentional. After night shift, I slept in ‘til noon and then woke up to spend my Friday with Kyle.  After lounging the morning away, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go for a run or eat something.  I decided to put a pot of oats on the stove, but by the time they were done, I had changed my mind.  So I turned the stove off and left the oats while… Read more >

Larabars for you

I didn’t get a lunch sleep break last night because there was a code on the unit right when my break should have been.  Clearly a patient’s life trumps my snooze time, so I just kept powering through the night sans rest.  It was a long code (holy chest compressions batman!) and the third of the night in the hospital, but it ended with a beating heart and oxygenated blood, and that’s all you can hope for, right?  Right.  I had a delicious dinner packed up. The salad had spinach, sprouts, farro (love!), hummus, bell… Read more >

Tropical meets comfort

When I think of island vacation getaways, I think of coconuts.  When I think of winter comfort cooking, my mind goes to butternut squash.  So why not combine the two?  Oh yes I did. The base of the dish was made and then frozen nearly a month ago…back when my friend gave me two cases of butternut squash. I used the slow cooker, adding an entire butternut squash (cubed) and a box of Vita Coco coconut water and leaving it alone for 4 hours to do it’s thang.  Before and after. Then I tupperwared it… Read more >

Lent Can Be A Healthy Tool

Thanks for the triathlon encouragement!  I’m pretty excited to be checking off another bucket list item…plus doing it with my dad is one of the best parts about it.  To be honest, I haven’t so much as dipped my toe in a pool (or any body of water for that matter) in several years.  [Insert nervous laughter]  Yes, I did swim team growing up, but still.  I definitely don’t have a cap or goggles (or non-bikini suit?) currently.  So it will be an interesting “training” period to say the least.  My dad, on the other… Read more >
