Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Bite-Sized Appetizers!
I guess you’re kindasorta well aware by now that I really love caprese salad. (I’ve made two different variations on here already–version 1 and version 2! :O )
Well, I’m back again with version 3 because why the hecks not.
Tis a good thing that I have a couple recipes scheduled for the months ahead because this is just week 1 out of my 14 straight weeks of inpatient rotations and I’m already pretty exhausted. As in on day 1 of the ICU, I went to a pilates class in the evening and fell asleep in the middle of class. (…)
They fit perfectly for this week’s theme! This is another recipe that Linda and I came up with back when I visited her in September! (Yes, my backlog for scheduled recipes runs out this far.)
In case you missed it, we also made Mushroom Miso Egg Drop Soup and Sriracha Wasabi Pastrami Sandwiches!

End-of-Week-ish Recap!
- My Medical Mondays post was on Medical Interpretation this week! A huge part of why I went into medicine was due to the fact that I used to volunteer as a medical interpreter, and I loved the work that we did there + how many people we were able to help. <3
- Join me for Travel Tuesday at the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park! :] I went on a 12-mile hike and we took the Miner’s Ridge + James Irvine Loop!

Thanks, Emily! It apparently ran out! x_x I overslept for work, but thankfully not by much (good thing I live close by and get ready superrr quickly in the morning!). Will have to catch up tonight!
Pilates can really take it out of you. I’m so sorry you fell asleep in class though, that’s the worst. These Mini Caprese Bites look delicious, Caprese is my go to salad, Cheese and Tomatoes? You can’t go wrong.

Thanks so much, Lauren! I definitely need to catch up on sleep. :[ It’s only the end of week 1 (of 14) and I’m already exhausted! x_x
These are so cute and I feel like I could probably make a meal out of them.

It’s definitely one of my favorite salads ever! :D!
Sadly, not too possible at the moment, but I do get one day off per week, so I think I’ll be using that to catch up on sleep/errands/life!
I like anything Caprese. Your bites look so yummy!
You actually fell asleep during pilates? ? When did you notice? When everybody was getting ready to leave?
Author
haha, me too! :D + thank you!
Sighhh, yes. :'( There was this brief spot in the middle of class where we took a short break to do savasana and I basically was out like a light pretty much immediately. I think I was only asleep for a couple minutes though! :D?
