I’ll be doing summer and fall Continue Reading …

Morning! I’m in the midst of crunch time over here trying to finish up all our end of semester assignments. Yesterday I forced myself to focus and spent a solid 7 hours straight working on these module worksheets we have due today — they are prep for our clinical internship.

A couple months ago, while procrastinating during one of our study sessions, I told my friend Maria that I’ve lived here in Chapel Hill for almost 2 years and basically never been to Raleigh (besides a couple super quick trips for specific events at night).

Hey friends! A bunch of you asked for the recipe for the red beans and rice that Matt made for us the other night. It was delicious and definitely worth recreating, so I asked Matt for a general idea of the recipe he used.

Public service announcement of the day: canned chunk light tuna is really delicious when mixed with hummus. Since I know you guys were wondering and all. :) For lunch today, I whipped up tuna sandwiches for myself and Matt — just chunk light tuna mixed with hummus and some dijon mustard — it’s delicious, I promise. Topped with sprouts Continue Reading …

A Relaxing Day

Good morning! Did anyone else watch the live coverage of the Boston Marathon yesterday morning (or watch it in person)? Pretty exciting stuff! I’ve been to Boston twice for Marathon Monday and it’s a blast; watching it on my laptop wasn’t quite as awesome but it was nice to be able to see who was winning and watch them finish! I enjoyed Continue Reading …
