I initially was going to write a post about what type of food children could start making on their own but I think I overestimated my children’s maturity when it comes to these matters. For what it’s worth, the Internet tells me that by age 8, our children should be fully involved in packing their …
It has only been a week since school started for us and it already feels like summer never happened. Without careful planning, dinner can easily be an afterthought at best (take out, anyone?) or a full-blown disaster of screaming children, burnt food, and unhealthy choices. My slow-cooker (Crockpot) has been a life-saver for years now. …
I love summer so much because it makes me want to eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and light meals. I typically meal plan for the whole work week on Sunday nights but that leaves Sunday night open and also our weekend lunches. Friday and Saturday nights are our times to go out to eat or …
Call me crazy but I love a good trip to Costco. I have dabbled in Walmart and BJs over the years but I always go back to my beloved Costco. However, it can be very easy to turn a much needed trip to the store into a several hour fiasco. Have no fear! This blog …
Before I had children, I loved to make soups when it got cold. After having kids, I loved the idea of making soups but didn’t have as much time to do it. I still try to make some soup here in there though, because it is a great way to use up veggies and have …
Who else gets super excited about making one meal and then having 2-3 leftover options after that? I used to just serve the same thing several times in one week but then I realized I could repurpose what I cooked into new meals. Today, I will go over how to use chicken tacos, chicken fajitas, …
I don’t know about you but the first week of 2022 was a bit more exciting than what I was hoping for. As usual, I was glad I wrote a bunch of inspiring posts because I was all ready to quit 2022 three days into it. Whenever I felt down or hopeless, I just re-read …
As a follow-up to my last blog post on living a healthy lifestyle, I wanted to do a little research about how to get an energy boost without using too much caffeine, energy drinks, or buying expensive supplements that may not work. Since I am not getting paid by anyone to write this post and …
I never spent too much time thinking about snacking until I was in residency. I had horrible eating habits in high school and college. I didn’t do much better in medical school, where half my calories came from coffee, milk, and sugar. Once I started residency, snacking became key because I would never know if …
Since I am participating in the Onboarding Summit #Match2021 hosted by Buddies Space, I wanted to write a special blog post for our recently matched doctors! Congratulations on this great achievement! Even if you haven’t matched yet, know you eventually will if that is what you want to do, so this post is for you …
