Huevos Rancheros

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! This week’s theme = Meatless!

Is it sad that every time my blog stats indicate that someone’s totally been creeping on my blog (aka a wholeee ton of views to a bunch of different posts, but not-crazy-high amount of unique visitors), I wonder if a residency program has perhaps discovered my internet existence? (I guess it’s really not that hard, because apparently, searching my full name will get you here.)

Well, whether or not that’s the case…if you happen across this post, hello there! Welcome to my blog, I hope life is treating you well, that you like this recipe (if you choose to continue reading), and that you have a great weekend!

A couple weekends ago, I headed back to Please Save A Cat to spend the weekend, partially so I could visit Linda, and also so I could pick up a blanket and cold-weather clothes so I wouldn’t freeze to death. (I think the current tally for falling-asleep-shivering/nights-I’ve-slept-with-no-blankets = 5.)

Also, my rotation in Washington has been cancelled. Again. (At this point, I will not in fact be heading over there for an audition. :[ ) However, patience apparently does pay off, because the rotation I requested for the end of the year (which would effectively cover the rest of my graduation requirements) has finallyyyyyyyy been approved!

I say “finally” because this happened after 1.5 months of semi-daily phone calls. *-*

Hooray hooray! :D! This means I get 4 weeks of elective time, so I’m hoping to do a Nutrition rotation in November, and possibly one in Occupational Health/Acupuncture in April. We shall see! <3

And now…onward to this delicious goodness!

Huevos Rancheros (with a side of Home Fries!)
