Spaghetti squash mexicana

Originally, this post was featured on my cousin Pattie’s blog, but I figured the recipe was too good to withhold from my regular readers. On that note, I share with you: Spaghetti squash mexicana Now I’m not sure if a black bean & avocado salsa qualifies a dish as Mexican…but that’s the name I’m going with 🙂 As the colder months set in, I’m constantly trying to find a way to marry what’s seasonal and local (on the East Coast) with flavors that are familiar from my upbringing (on the West Coast).  I’m not sure… Read more >

Gardein eats

Packed eats…   You know the drill:  Strawberry Pomegranate Odwalla bar, Apricot Clif bar, Stretch Island Fruit Co. strawberry fruit leather, gala apple x2, the most massive salad I have ever made, random wheat roll (stolen from el hospital) and a steamed brocc/cauli side salad. After I photographed the above pic, I decided to add some raisins to the salad.  The ingredients read longer than Heidi’s latest plastic surgery bill: spinach steamed kale steamed coleslaw mix steamed broccoli steamed cauliflower steamed carrots steamed asparagus raw red bell peppers raisins I was definitely feeling the less… Read more >

Heat wave?

Isn’t it AMAZE how much better 40 degree weather is than 20!?!  (200% better to be exact) I have been so happy with this weeks “heat” wave, yesterday I almost felt like running through the streets naked…well, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but I was pleased to say the least.  What’s even crazier was the fact that the heaters in my patients’ rooms were cranked up so high that they all had their windows open…and it actually felt nice to have a chilly breeze.  What is this?  I’m too young for hot flashes, and it’s… Read more >
