One of my New Year's Resolution was to blog more so here I go.
As I mentioned before, I am working in endocrinology and high risk pregnancy. I am learning a ton about diabetes. The dietitian I am with right now is VERY knowledable and has really taught me a lot. Yesterday we visited a women in labor and delivery who had been in the hospital on bed rest for 73 days. She is from Florida and was on vacation in PA. She had a spontaneous rupture of her aniotic sac and was admitted to Geisinger. She is hundreds of miles from friends and family and all she can do is lay in hospital bed. I can't even image how boring that would be. They will be inducing her on Saturday so she only has 4 more days to go.
Last night Wes and I had dinner with Don and Joan, the owners of the farm Wes works with. Even though I had only met Don once and only for a few minutes, it was not awkward at all. They are both really nice and fun to talk with. It was interesting hearing about all the places they have lived and the things they have done.
I am getting pretty sick of this weather (ok so just this week has been bad). So far there hasn't been much snow but there has been some freezing rain which sucks worse than snow. It's almost impossible to scrape your windsheild and the roads can be pretty slick. Wes was not even joking when he said people in PA freak out about a little bad weather. The schools were closed today and it wasn't even that bad, a little freezing rain from last night and then it just rained until around 2 pm. At Geisinger, you better plan on at least half of your patients cancelling because of the weather. Its kind of funny to me and Wes.
Just incase I havn't bored you enough, here are some recipes I have been meaning to share.
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND ROSEMARY GARLIC LASAGNA
This was really good and takes some time to prepare but definitely worth it. I mashed the butternut squash a little bit even though the recipe doesn't say so and the heavy cream could be optional.

APPLE WALNUT SALAD WITH CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE
I added more cranberries to the dressing (at least double the amount) and sprinkled my salad with a little goat cheese

HERSHEY'S "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" CHOCOLATE CAKE
This made really delicate, moist cupcakes...no frosting even needed. Don't wory if your batter is really runny; mine was like water.

GRILLED BLACK BEAN AND RICE STUFFED PEPPERS
EASY! I made these a day ahead and then Wes just popped them in the oven.

CAULIFLOWER AND RED LENTIL CURRY
I did not have the cumin seeds or fresh ginger and I used green lentils not red when I made this and it still turned out really good. Wes loves cilantro so I added extra.

73 days?! Can she at least get up and walk around? That would be awful to be in her position.
On a different note, the recipes are making me hungry. I'm going to go snoop around for dessert!
I made that chocolate cake recipe. Yummy! Me and the girls couldn't stop eating it. We made the frosting too.
