Tea time

If you know me, you know I love tea.  It’s one of the only redeeming parts about cold weather.  I crave the feeling of a steamy mug in my hands, and the aroma of tea wafting through the apartment.  There is truly nothing better.  Well, aside from coffee that is.  😉 Peek-a-boo (And this is just half of my tea stash) That said, I’m pretty picky when it comes to my teas.  Some of my favorite brands are Yogi and Tazo, but thanks to OpenSky, I discovered a newbie that has been rocking my world. … Read more >

My Salsa

To the few people who understand my weird (read: abnormal) humor, this title is for you.  For the rest of you, I’m sorry.  Hopefully this isn’t your first red flag that I’m not exactly “normal,” but if it is…well, there you have it.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  I had a weird dinner tonight.  “My salsa makes all the pretty girls dance…” Yeah, Eminem knows ‘wassup. So before you close this page in disgust, allow me to explain.  ‘Cado + salsa + large-and-in-charge amounts of roasted red pepper hummus = Spreadable brilliance.  So why limit… Read more >

Such a tease

This Monday was especially painful because the sun was radiating into my patients’ rooms all day long.  It was heavenly, but I was stuck in the hospital.  So it was agonizingly beautiful.  Such a tease!  At least I had good food to enjoy on my lunch break… Bars, apples, baggies, tupperware.  Fabulous. In the tupp:  spinach, seaweed salad, carrots, broccoli, and pepitas.  To the people who asked, I sometimes make my own seaweed salad, but this one was store bought (you can see a different salad of the same brand here).  Occasionally they have them… Read more >

Sunshine, don’t go away

As far as weekends go, this was pretty damn near perfect.  It started with a 10 am wake up call (sleep in much?), and then a bit of coffee loading.  Since it was a GORGEOUS 40+ degrees outside, Kyle and I wanted to get our faces in the sun asap.  So, after snacking on one (and a half) of my chia seed oat bars, we set out for a run in the park.  I can’t even tell you how long I have been waiting to feel the road beneath my feet.  The treadmill just hasn’t… Read more >

Roughage

Enemy. (Grrrr…why won’t you open sesame pistachio!!!)  I have busted many a nail trying to crack open these tight lipped mothahs!  Not cool man.  Not cool.  The shells make them hard to inhale as fast as my tummy wants them.  Maybe it’s good thing?  Nah.  Friends.  :)  Super happy yummy eats.  In case you didn’t notice (and really, why would you…), I’ve been (kinda) avoiding the pretzel wagon as of late.  It was sorta on purpose after my ridiculously uncontrollable behavior with the last few bags.  It actually has more to do with the $$… Read more >
