Ole! We had a fabulous soup for dinner last night that needs some recognition! It took about 30 minutes, start to finish, to make as an added bonus! We topped this soup with a tiny bit of mozzarella (it melts so well for this soup), baked tortillas, sour cream, and avocado chunks = heavenly. It …
Fine. Chris said it first, and I’m admitting it…I’m a granola girl. I make fresh granola every couple of weeks, and it’s really easy, plus it’s amazing on yogurts, cereals, or as a snack by itself! I love fresh, local ingredients, and I try to buy green as frequently as I can. I’m all about …
I made some more homemade bread this evening, along with a fresh batch of granola! This bread recipe is adapted from Cook’s, and it is made specifically to be a sandwich bread. It makes a bread that is crusty on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside, with a really nice wheat flavor. …

I cannot wait until I am done with this stupid test! My boards are in less than 2 weeks. I haven’t had any time for writing lately, and I have been planning my getaway from this place when I can take breaks from studying. I am so ready for it to be over, and it’s …
Lol, I haven’t been able to fall asleep at a decent hour since I was on Nights over a week ago. I just never caught up after I switched from nights to days. So, naturally, I’m exhausted. It’s like jet lag without the cool travel story & memories. I am exhausted & I am working …

God MUST have a fabulous sense of humor. There I was, just 2 days ago, complaining about the weather, feeling sorry for myself, and whining an awful lot about my job. Today, skies are sunny and we are a fabulous 65 (!!!) degrees today, I found out that a particular someone with whom I dreaded …
Thursday is the official first day of spring, but in real life, it’s gonna feel exactly the same as Wednesday. I am craving a big change, something different. Beaches, “drinks with little paper umbrellas” (as my mom likes to put it), warm sunshine; that’s what I’m craving. I realize that all of that will arrive …
I love the SD- I love it. It works. And it’s delicious. For the last several weeks, I have been making my own menus, but I still adhered to the golden rule: lunch and dinner must each contain one protein, grain, vegetable, and fruit. Following that rule, it’s been a breeze to keep a healthy …
