In a mason jar! Lately, I’ve been using mason jars for everything — my morning coffee, growing herbs, diced fruits, yogurt parfaits, and now my cool salad lunches! This was especially convenient for the day I had during a rotation where I was on the road travelling from to site to site. I actually ate […]
Grocery shopping for one is just as hard as shopping for 10! Writing out my meals for the week keeps me under budget and quantity, so food doesn’t get wasted. This is what I usually do before I head out to the market. 1. First, ponder what you would like to eat for the week. […]
Happy Spring, everyone! I’m so sorry that I missed a post, but last week was extremely hectic with taking a field trip with all the other interns to visit the State Capitol in Sacramento, starting a new rotation and volunteering for National Nutrition Month. The workload is piling up and I’m starting to feel the […]
Happy Monday, everyone! Spring is just around the corner and I am very, very excited! A really good friend of mine gave me this mason herb garden kit and I finally had time to plant some seeds. It’s only been a little over two weeks and the parlsey is already sprouting! I’m really happy about getting this mini garden started […]
Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s another great addition to my weekly meal preps. Quinoa is packed with sufficient carbs, substantial protein and even fiber. Can’t go wrong with adding herbed quinoa to your meals. It’s great when you get a little bored of the old brown rice or sweet potato routine to get your carbs in. […]
Happy day-after-Valentine’s Day, everyone! I wanted to include a yummy snack as giveaway goodies for a presentation I was giving last week. I didn’t want to make something too unhealthy, so I made these ‘healthier‘ Rice Krispies / crispy rice treats with some substitutions. I think Rice Krispies treats are usually a hit, but I […]
Happy Monday, everyone! It might be too soon to say, but I have a strong feeling this first rotation is the most hectic out of all of them! During the first week of rotation one, I was assigned about 12 competencies that consist of 20+ assignments with most taking a few hours to complete. They’ve been […]
In light of Mardi Gras this year on February 9th, I wanted to share my experience in New Orleans, LA from the previous year. This time last February, I went to NOLA for a business trip that coincidentally fell on the weekend of Valentine’s Day, so Jj and I didn’t get to celebrate our first […]
I love basil and basil pesto, especially! Basil pesto is such a versatile addition to any dish. The great thing about making basil pesto is that it isn’t uptight like the other recipes. All nuts and cheeses are accepted; you can easily whip up some pesto with substitutes if you don’t have pine nuts and romano […]
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ Happy MLK, everyone! Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most memorable heroic icons to me because of his humanitarianism and ability to influence positive thoughts in people. He didn’t wait for somebody else to make history; he took it upon himself […]
