Tomorrow morning I head out to the biggest cancer conference of the year, well at least for me it is. ASCO is in Orlando this year, and starting Saturday morning at 7 AM I will be in back-to-back meetings with pretty much every pharma company under the sun for three straight days. |

Tonight I got home ready to make a meal I’d been thinking about all day, when I realized that I left the veggies at work. I thought about what I could throw together that incorporates the two things I wanted to get out of dinner, namely vitamins and fiber. Legumes to the rescue! |

I’m headed out to Chicago for the holiday weekend, so I’ll be quiet for a few days. My favorite person in the world got me an Art Institute membership and we’re going to the new members preview of the brand-spanking-new Modern Wing! I’m so excited I can hardly sit still! |

I thought I’d show you how to make your own Greek style yogurt for half of what you spend on the little 5.3 ounce cups. It’s really easy and requires little culinary skill. |

I call this thing I just made up Omelet on a Pita because it’s basically the same ingredients I would whip together for a Sunday morning omelet, except they’re not actually IN an omelet. Just read on and I’ll explain myself. |

For the past week I’ve been trying to get an average of 7.5 hours of sleep a night, a number I arbitrarily arrived at by targeting the middle of the 7-8 hours-a-night rule I’ve read in about a bajillion places. I apologize if I’m getting too technical here. |

Greek yogurt is enjoying a surge in popularity, so I’ve spent the past few days sampling different brands. After some trial and error, I’ve learned the trick to Greek yogurt: don’t stir it. |

I’ll admit it, I’m guilty of fitting into a female stereotype: I eat yogurt every day. It’s got calcium for my bones, active cultures to help with tummy trouble, and it holds me over in the morning until I can get to second breakfast (I’ll explain another time). |

There’s only one rule to making quick and cheap dinners for yourself, and that’s to keep a stocked pantry. I always have canned beans, whole wheat pastas, vinegars, spices and frozen veggies on hand. You’d be amazed what I can come up with when it looks like there’s nothing in the house. |

Since I left the free-cake-and-baked-good mine field of MD Anderson, I’ve been so proud of my ability to resist the lesser temptations presented at my new gig. This morning the email that would remind me of my mortality popped into my mailbox. In celebration of the grand opening of our new cafeteria the chef had prepared FREE CAKE. |
