“The thing about food is…”

Back to work already?!  Weekends go by too fast, but at least Monday meant the return of my K-love. You know the drill.  Fruit (dried and fresh), Clif bars (seasonal and Z), pretz, and tupperware filled “entrees.” I recently bought these spelt pretzels from WFs, and although I was nervous about straying from my Newman’s protein pretz, I like trying new things.  The verdict?  Good, but different.  I think I liked them, but sometimes (like when I’m starving at work) any carb will do.  I’ll have to try them again when I’m not running on… Read more >

Old, New, Orange, ‘Fu

Sunday offered nicer weather than Saturday, but I still wanted warmth in my belly for breakfast.  What to make, what to make…french vanilla SO Delicious coconut milk coffee, followed by the world’s thickest bowl of pumpkin oat bran.  You would think this would fill me right up, but I was hungry again just a few hours later.  I slept in, though, so it was well past noon, and I set to work on lunch. Cubed ‘fu rubbed in cornmeal and paprika, tossed in a skillet, and sizzled to death.  Pretty snazzy for a recipe on… Read more >

Stuffed (in the hole)

I recently discovered this oh SO Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer.  I am cray cray in love with it, and since I now add it to my java on the daily, I felt the need to shout it from the rooftop post about it, too.  No soy, no dairy, no fat, just pure vegan yumminess with french vanilla flavoring to boot.  FYI, I usually flavor my coffee with NuNatural’s vanilla extract, but since my stash is nearly gone, this discovery couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.  This morning I slept (wayyyy) in, but eventually… Read more >

Made to order eats

Mail time!!!  Here’s what the post man dropped off last night…             [me] & goji                               YouBar I was waiting on the edge of my seat for these to arrive.  So naturally my packed work eats included some of my new goodies. Two apples (again), Breakfast Bar YouBar, dried pears/papaya, Honey Graham Z bar, Blueberry Crisp Clif bar, and a salad with the works (spinach, sweet potatoes, tomato slices, and carrots). OH MY CHOCO-HEAVEN!  The stats on this bar alone were reason enough to adore it…but the flavor!  Yum!  I literally couldn’t have been more pleased. … Read more >

Would Miss Manners serve house guests nooch?

Are you getting tired of me working so much?  I hope the packed lunches aren’t too boring, but whatcha gonna do, right?  Today’s lunch eats included tupperwared kale chips and a salad, DOS manzanas, a buncha bars (Clif’s Z bars and Odwalla repeats from yesterday), and dried papaya spears/pears. As I headed out on my lunch break today, I saw a pretty fantastic sight (these things tend to occur outside the Emergency Dept).   Picture a homeless Caucasian man (60-ish years old) in a wheelchair rocking a black baby back and forth, and bouncing it up… Read more >
