When I have long days at the hospital, I find it’s most convenient to cook in large batches, freeze half and eat the other half throughout the week. That way when I get home I can get a work out in, spend some time reading or catch up on some TV or news. Then if…

Blueberry & Nectarine Galette
Summer may be drawing to a close, but that doesn’t mean you can’t squeeze the most out of it with a galette filled with some summer fruits. I stumbled upon this recipe from NYT Cooking, and the perfect opportunity to make this came toward the end of intern year. One of the Medicine residents had…
Shish Kebabs & Greek Salad
While we all love comfort food like lasagna, I typically reserve those dishes for the winter months. When the days are long and the sun stays out late, I usually gravitate toward bright and fresh flavors. Georgetown’s medical students have been working hard in their culinary medicine elective and it has inspired me to add…
NYT Ropa Vieja
Ropa vieja translates to “old clothes.” After some light googling, I learned that this name comes from a fable about a poor man who had no money for food, so he shredded his clothes and boiled them, hoping that it would be able to feed his family. Magically his shredded clothes turned into food for…
Chili Chicken Tortilla Soup
I have been lacking when it comes to posting recipes because the free time that I had to put towards the blog was used for the new Culinary Medicine section. If you haven’t checked it out already and are interested in learning about the science behind making healthy food delicious, check it out! Although the…
Mom’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars
My medical school has a tradition, where a first-year student (the “little”) is paired with a second-year student (the “big”). Last year, I had my little and grand-little over for dinner. I made The King’s Butter Chicken, The King’s Garlic Naan, and a coconut cream pie (stay tuned for this recipe). We had such a…
The King’s Chilaquiles
My third year of medical school has flown by! We finished all of our rotations in the core clerkships: Internal Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Pediatrics. While our third year far surpassed first and second year, it did not leave a lot of time for blogging. I am just now entering my…
The King’s Chili Chicken Tacos
Tuesdays can be pretty crummy. It’s still the beginning of the week and you have a ways to go until Friday. However, Tuesday is redeemed when it is Taco Tuesday! I first started celebrating Taco Tuesdays when I was living in San Diego. I always looked forward to going to a different taco stand or…
Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons
So, last week I introduced you to the deliciousness that is Coffee Ice Cream. However, you may have noticed that the recipe called for six egg yolks, and one thing I hate doing is throwing good ingredients away. I think it is such a waste! So, I turned to the internet for some ideas and…
Shrimp Scampi
So in my haste to get some of these posts out, I forgot to mention some vital news! Ok, it’s not really that vital, but for anyone else out there that is also a photography enthusiast, I got a new camera lens! The Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8D to be specific and it has taken some…
David’s Breakfast Hash
David was able to visit this past weekend. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see him for quite some time, as I will be in school and he will be out of the country. I figured it only made sense to have a post about a delicious breakfast that I learned to make from him….
