4th of July is almost here and so strange it’s on a Tuesday. And it’s the first triple-digit heat weekend of the year which has been brutal, so we escaped for some hiking in Tahoe where it’s only in the 70s and still patches of snow. In my old age, I’m not a huge fan […]
New and Fun Eats for the List
Another weekend flew by, bummer. There was some outdoor time walking and visiting grazing sheep. I have been eating so much zucchini and yellow squash that I might be getting a little tired of it! We are getting tons from our garden and I need to get more creative with it. But simply chopped, sautéed […]
Pizza and Fun for the List
Sunday night again, weekends are too short. And we wrapped up our time with our sister’s cat this week and miss her constant antics for attention such as climbing up the backs of our office chairs for shoulder and lap time. Can’t complain about the weather here being cooler and breezier than usual for June […]
Hiking and Eating for the List
We still have my sister’s cat as a houseguest and she has claimed one of our couches and any place else we like to site. She also likes to have parties with her toys in the middle of the night. We stepped out to Hidden Falls for a hike and change of scenery since the […]
Summer Eats for the List
Sunday and June already, crazy how fast this weekend flew by and how fast this year is! It does not feel like June here with mild temps in the 70s and 80s instead of 90s and 100s as usual. Strange, but I am not complaining! And we are still cat sitting for my sister who […]
Colorful and Fun Eats for the List
Happy Memorial Day weekend. Been a relaxing one so far and we’re planning a casual get together here tomorrow I am looking forward to. I’m still getting back into the swing of things after replacing our fridge and the food in it, have not been feeling very inspired in the kitchen this week. So simple […]
Weird Week for the List
It has been a weird week starting with our fridge dying last Sunday and by the time we discovered it, there was a lot of food loss. Ugh! It was only 7 years old, but not under warranty and apparently a common issue for the brand and generation’s compressors. After confirming the costs and options […]
Warm Weather Eats for the List
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. I saw cute geese and duck families celebrating on some outdoor time this weekend and enjoyed sunshine after a lot of rain last weekend. But the weather has been interesting here, raining and in the 60s last weekend, sunny and 90s this weekend. I feel like […]
Interesting Spring Eats for the List
It’s been a full and interesting weekend including lots more rain, storms, and hail yesterday after an oddly cold and wet week. Not complaining knowing summer triple digit heat will be here soon enough! Yesterday was a busy day with multiple events including a family birthday party where the vegan options were pasta salad, vegan […]
Fun Eats for the List
It’s been an interesting week here, not sure I am ready for the weekend to end after a productive day of Costco shopping and re-planting our garden. And getting some outdoor time to take in spring weather. There has also been salads, simple tofu summer squash stir fries, and a creamy turmeric sauté. I tried […]
