Even though I’m predominantly Irish and German, I can’t help but wonder if there is a long lost Mediterranean family member. How else do you explain the POUNDS of hummus I consume on a daily basis?? (…not to mention my love affairs with falafel, beans, and fresh veg salads…) Does your heritage creep it’s way into your diet? Or do you have love for foreign flavors? Even though part of my family is Japanese (not by blood), white rice was never really something I got into…although it did make for some very tasty (albeit unconventional)… Read more >

In the interest of…well…interest, this post is going to be super short. Nothing remotely exciting happened today. 5 AM – I woke up to the annoying buzz, buzz, buzzzzzz of my alarm 7AM to 7 PM – Workface Please direct all questions about my lunch to your mom the comments section. I doubt you’ll have any, it’s not like this was anything new… Oh wait, there was this: How’d that fatty sneak it’s way into my chickpeas???? The main thrill of the day was the medical staff appreciation mini-shindig thingy that the hospital hosted at… Read more >

All these readers coming out of the woodwork – I love it!! Especially when I get free back/chiropractor advice out of it. You guys are the BEST 😀 Javaaaahhh. Much like yesterday’s, this cup was another NuStevia success story. I adore the hint of vanilla that a few drops of extract provides. YUM. I’m not sure why that apple looks so small – or why I appear to have man-hands? It was a normal sized apple…but evidently the vise-like grip of my massive hands makes fruit resemble 2-bite horse apples. Whatevs. While sipping away, I… Read more >

After working a few days in a row, I just wanted to sleep in ‘til noon today. Unfortunately, my circadian rhythm wasn’t in on the game plan. I was up and getting my caffeine on by 8. A few days ago, this lovely package arrived from NuNaturals, so I was thrilled to have a massive fake sugar free NuStevia filled cuppa-joe. As usual, I brewed and frothed… Then, I added 3 drops of Vanilla Stevia to the Caffe Froth, and 1 packet of NuStevia white powder to the coffee. Perfection. No bitter after-taste. Not too… Read more >

I worked both days this weekend. So on Saturday, while everyone else was frolicking in the sun, I was dealing with my patient who decided she was through with the hospital, and removed her own chest tube. Don’t worry, she’s fine (physically at least…psych-wise I’m still on the fence). Anyways. Yummy pre-packed food includes: raisin/almond/cashew/carob chip mix, dried mango/papaya, Tribe hummus mini-tub, apple, raw salad, and some bars. Odwalla Superfood (I heart every green millimeter of this flavor) and a Cashew Cookie Larabar (also a favorite). The rest of the day flew by uneventfully (just… Read more >
