Powdered coffee creamer substitutes
Looking for some ideas for healthy powdered coffee creamer. I'm making healthy or healthier snacks for gifts this year (trying desperately to get in the spirit of things).

Night shifters
Just a general question to the experts and others who don't do the 9-5/M-F life. I'm a RN, work 1930-0800 shifts (7:30pm-8am) 3 or 4 days a week (if I remember NOT to answer my phone for the typical begging please come in we're short). I do try to keep to a routine even when off, doesn't always work. Right now, I count my…
