Hi! I am back. I lost my way in the craziness of my job and summer fun.
As my first step to a recommitment to blogging, I have updated my “about” page to include more about my history with food. Take a peak and get to know me more.
Also, the first rotation of my dietetic internship begins next week! I hope to use this blog as a DI journal in a way and plan to recap noteworthy experiences.
On another note, where did summer go?
I will miss thee!
Stay tuned. More to come…

Where have I been? Having a blast and enjoying my last summer (as a student that is) in NYC! Apart from working full-time in the retail world, I have been catching up with friends and acting like a tourist in my own town. It’s been fun!!!
Yeah chicken wing!!!! This photo is from a while back – just illustrating the funness being had!
B-FAST BABY!!!!
Egg whites + Soy sausage on an Arnold’s sandwich thin:
Iced skim cappuccino – Homemade by me!
Muesli (whole foods bulk bin kind) with Barney Butter!
I combined the muesli (1/3 cup?) with 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup skim milk + extra raisins and let it sit overnight in the fridge. Delicious!!!
LUNCH!
Random packed meal of black bean salad (black beans, corn, red bell pepper mixed with 2-3 tbsp salsa), grapes, blackberries, tortilla chips (Food Should Taste Good kind – awesome!), and a Siggi’s for a snack.
Black bean salad in another form…with a Cheese quesadilla + Side salad:
Lentil soup + Salad + Watermelon – this was such a satisfying meal! I love love love watermelon! It might be up there with my favorite fruits.
DINNER!
Grilled chipotle chicken breasts (Trader Joe’s pre-marinated kind) + Purple rice (Whole Foods bulk bin) + Sauteed green beans with garlic:
Crazy bowl!!!
This contained Trader Joe’s frozen quinoa mix + added veggies (bell pepper, carrots, kale + beets) + goat cheese. It was phenomenal. I love any combo of beets + goat cheese. This hit the spot!
with salad:
Linguini (non-whole grain – for the boy) with chickpeas and artichoke hearts:
Soba with veggies & tofu + Side salad + Steamed summer squash:
This Trader Joe’s mix was used. I didn’t like it very much.
The flavors were off.
Tofu champuru + Miso soup + Side salad:
Baked chicken breast (with a quick lemon glaze) + Wild rice pilaf + Green beans:
SPLURGE ALERT!!!
As I have been enjoying my summer freedom, I have been indulging a bit lately. Here is a fun example!
Too bad I burned the pizza!!! Can I blame it on my oven?????
The beer was tasty:
May be one of my favorites.
Fun Pics!
Look what Kyle found!
It is sitting in my closet at this very moment (the pay phone, not my kitty!).
In other cat news…check out these paw prints on my leg! Crumpet was marking her territory?
Alright. Have a good one!

Evening!
Where have I been? Florida!!!! I had a fantastic time visiting the family…
Brothers:
Sister-in-law!
Shenanigans…
I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!!
Prior to my departure I had this for breakfast:
This would be: 2 whole grain pancakes with a soy sausage patty and an iced nonfat latte.
I got back from visiting the fam a few days ago and have been playing catch up since. I am back to working full-time (gotta save for my internship!) and already have some assignments to work on for my dietetic internship.
Dinner tonight was sooooo good! Kyle was in the mood for an old-fashioned home-cooked meal and I delivered!
Grilled chicken tenders (marinated in BBQ sauce), mashed red potatoes (steamed and mashed with a touch of butter, skim milk and dill + garlic salt), and corn on the cob:
+ Kyle’s favorite salad (caesar):
T’was good!!!! There also may have been a few bites of Ben & Jerry’s thrown in the mix for good measure..
And I am off! Good night!
