Sweet Potato Dessert Nachos

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! Today’s theme = Nachos (in celebration of National Nachos Day)!

Hi everyone! If you’re reading this on the actual morning of this post…I’m interviewing at a program I supersuper love and adore at the moment, so if you have a spare moment, please send some good thoughts or say a little prayer for me to be a more awesome version of myself!

I am stuck in a major dilemma at the moment, and have been duking out the whole risk-benefit ratio in my head and calling friends + family for advice. The silver lining is that it’s not a bad thing–it’s just that never in my life have I ever been much of a risk-taker, but I’m considering it because to not take that leap would mean an almost-definite shutting down of giving it any sort of a chance. (I know I’m sounding all secretive and stuffs, but I promise this will unfold by the time spring rolls around.)

In other news, I’m all sorts of ecstatic because…

1. One of my favorite patients yesterday is doing a wholeeee ton better! :] He and his wife are super super cute together (celebrating their 51st anniversary soon!), and they told me they’d be praying for my interview today, and that I better report back if they were still there to let em’ know how it went! <3!
2. One of my top-choice programs told me that I was in their top 5. :]!
3. I was working with one of the residents yesterday evening on a new admit, and she told me she’d heard that I was really good with working with patients(!!) so she was going to let me take control and fulfill the terminology that is my current rotation (acting internship, aka act as an intern), so I interviewed the patient and let her know our thoughts and our plans, and she said I did a reallyreally great job! :D!

As usual, I’ve rambled enough. I’m playing some catch-up tomorrow for the monthly Ultimate Coffee Date (past ones located here!), so be sure to stop by, and let me know what’s been going on in your life!

Now, off to celebrate National Nachos Day with…
