Before I show you my eats for the day, I want to share with you another cool giveaway on the interwebs: My buddies, Bill and Hayley, have paired up with KitchenAid to give away a gorgeous stand mixer! Check out the deets by clicking here. And don’t forget – you’ve still got time to get in on my l’il giveaway right here.
My night at the hospital passed by quickly because the work was constant and uncomplicated – just how I like it. While I was at work, I chowed down on the spinach and chicken salad I picked up at Steak Out and a Coconut PaleoKit.
When I returned to the hotel in the morning, it was a MAD rush to get Big-O to school on time because there was homework to finish…
…and hidden children to seek.
I can’t wait until we’re permanently back at home because being late for everything all the time ain’t so cool anymore. Seriously.
After I dropped Big-O off at school, I went back to our torn-up pad and crashed for the day.
In the evening, I drove back to the hotel and begrudgingly made dinner for everyone. Yes, dinner prep can be an unwelcome chore – especially after I’ve worked five night shifts in a row and still have two more to go. I didn’t want to cook but I just sucked it up like a big girl.
For dinner, I seasoned two bunches of aparagus and stuck them under the broiler..
. …fried up some mini sliders…
…and made a quick veggie stir-fry with shiitake mushrooms…
…onions…
…peeled carrots…
…and nuked sugar snap peas.
Your eyes do not deceive you: Those are SUGAR SNAP PEAS that I quickly steamed in the MICROWAVE OVEN. I’m sure some of you just collapsed in shock.
[No angry comments, please. Sugar snap peas/green beans (and microwaving) are fine per Robb Wolf, Whole9, and Mark Sisson. Take it up with them if you don’t agree – they’re much smarter than me.]
Here’s my dinner plate:
Wanna see a cool present I got from my buddy? She came back from Italy and gifted us with some coffee…
…and a cool stove-top espresso maker.
I so needed a cup before leaving the house. Thanks, Shiraaz!
