Snowballs, Kale & Ivy

I woke up Friday with every single finger and toe crossed because the unit was overstaffed by one nurse and I was the first on the list to get a "holiday."  So as long as nobody called in sick, my phone was set to ring between 4 and 5 am with happy news.  I’ve never looked forward to a pre-sunrise call more.  At 4:45 I got the blessed call and by 4:50 I was back asleep.  I took full advantage of the free day and slept in, but once I woke up, I set right… Read more >

Hangover food cont.

Happy Thanksgiving!!  [slash happy birthday to my sister] I’ve been working all week, so I don’t have anything that’s current to share.  Mostly my same old same old.  In lieu of a post about my work food, I’m just going to recap the remainder of my hangover recovery from last Sunday.   But first, a simple THANK YOU to my readers.  I love writing, but I admit it’s all the more enjoyable knowing there are other people out there who like reading my musings (besides my in-laws).  I have a ton to be grateful for… Read more >

No more excuses

I never quite know when I’m going to get home on work days, but it’s usually around 8 pm.  Showering is always my priority, which means dinner time is further delayed.  This is why I do so much food prep (because there’s nothing more annoying than being starving and staring into an empty fridge).  My essentials include greens and cooked grains.  You can doctor those up in combination in so many ways.    So whether I’m tossing quinoa, kale and sweet potatoes with a nutty sauce and crushed peanuts…or mixing swiss chard with a soy… Read more >

More cups

Kyle got jealous with all my chocolate peanut butter cup eating.  So I made him something to shut him up delight his taste buds, too. I made four, thinking they’d last him through the week.  I don’t know what I was thinking.    Nutty Fudge Cups (vegan, gluten free) [yields 4 cups] Ingredients: 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted 2 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp Earth Balance, melted 2 tbsp powdered sugar (I used NuNaturals stevia baking blend) 1/4 cup walnuts, crushed Directions: Melt chocolate chips.  Melt butter.  Combine with the rest of the ingredients. … Read more >

Carrot glow

  When the winter months start in, it’s always best to have a tanning back-up plan.  Enter carrots.  With B-carotene, you don’t need the sunlight to get your orange glow on. But just in case this slightly superficial side effect isn’t your thing, here’s a delicious and comforting carrot dish to (hopefully) win you over.  Good flavors are enticing to everyone, right?  Right. Psst, it’s a slow cooker recipe, too…so that means it takes minimal effort to make.  Faux tan + yummy food + not much work = win win win.   Soy Glazed Carrots… Read more >
