    Hi Joanne! These all look delicious.

    Random question – when you are on rotations, how do you find time to meal plan and cook? I’m wrapping up my fourth year right now so the last few rotations I’ve had more time than usual, but when I think back to most of my third year an the first half of fourth year, got to admit I really cooking/meal planning slide amongst all the rotations and mostly ate frozen food from Trader Joes.

      Hey! It’s tough. I’m in 4th year also (technically, though because I’m MD/PhD and took a maternity leave, some of my 3rd year rotations got pushed to 4th year)…and if you look back you’ll see that the blog really dropped off in 3rd year. I’m only now figuring out my groove…I think it helps that the baby is older and I don’t have to study as much! I think the key for me is to pick a two or three big meals to make on the weekends that can feed us throughout the week, and then we do a meal service like Plated or Blue Apron almost every week which is pretty quick to throw together plus I don’t have to think about it at all! But yeah, it’s a struggle, and we have eaten our fair share of takeout/scrambled eggs for dinner.
