My goodness! I feel like I’m losing muscle and my body is turning into blah by the day…I don’t know what happened to my motivation, but somehow I have managed to avoid physical activity for nearly two weeks. Unfortunately, I can feel it in my tone and general fitness. Even MORE unfortunate is how little I seem to care. Ok, that’s inaccurate, I definitely care. I just am too tired and unmotivated on my days off to take action. No worries, I have a plan. But first, my past few days of work eats. Clif… Read more >

Alternate titles for this dish include: Eggless salad Vegan slaw salad Orange you glad it’s not egg salad Ok, so clearly no eggs were used in this recipe, but I swear you’d never know if you tasted it. Not only does this recipe take minimal time and effort, but it is very versatile, it can be eaten in a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce, or plain. Ingredients – 1/2 cup silken tofu – 1/2 cup shredded carrots (if you have a juicer, use carrot pulp) – 1/2 cup cabbage (or coleslaw mix) – 1… Read more >

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time. I didn’t exercise. I hardly cooked. To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well). If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me. I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >

For some reason, I’m not a huge fan of Italian food. Not sure why. In my opinion, there’s just something a bit boring about pasta that prevents me from craving it very often. Growing up I always groaned when my mom made spaghetti (nevermind that it was one of my sister’s favorites). Nowadays, not much has changed with my taste buds. Kyle, on the other hand, adores pasta, especially lasagna. So once a month or so, I make a huge batch of it and freeze individual portions for him. I’ve shown them on the blog… Read more >

If you follow my tweets you probably saw that I decided to do a little overtime the other day… If you know my normal work hours (7 am – 7 pm) you may be wondering if I am an overachiever crazy… (Yes, is the short answer) But because two night nurses called in sick, there were minimal options, and ultimately I decided to stay at the hospital until midnight (when a replacement could arrive). Class, pull out your calculators. If you don’t have a calculator I’ll help you out, that makes 17 hours of fun… Read more >
