A break from butternut

I still have 7 more butternut squashes to use… But my skin is looking eerily similar to Snooki’s so I think a pause on the butternut intake is probably best. Not straying too far…I filled my butternut void with acorn squash. Nutritionally speaking, they are similar pretty much the same.  Both are excellent sources of manganese, potassium, calcium, vitamin A (in the form of B-carotene) and vitamin C.  And they are packed with fiber. In other words, my orange glow will soon be upgraded to oompa-loompa status. If you are wondering about what else B-carotene… Read more >

This is my balance

A few days ago Kailey posted about her idea of balance and then she encouraged others to share their own version. To me, balance is not getting stressed out about making things even and constant.  It’s just not realistic pour moi.  Because I work such long hours, but then have full days off in between, I know that each day will be new and different than the last. I work weekends, night shifts, day shifts, holidays, whatever.  And I’m never sure of how my day will go either.  Will my patient load be easy and… Read more >
