Which will be something with catnip, she loves flinging around catnip poof balls until they all get lost under the bed or fridge.

Miko is getting a new toy because his Halloween toy is getting a little gross and shredded.

For Skipper, it will be food, lots and lots of food because this dog can eat all day! Maybe a huge bag of V-Dog with a bow on it.

I do still need to finish Christmas shopping for the pets this weekend, I think Leela would love this bed.

Tonight it’s all about salad. Christmas tends to bring a lot of splurge eating especially since our family gatherings always have way too much food. So the week before I try to eat healthy, nutrient dense foods without a lot of empty calories and threw together a huge spinach salad tonight.

But I needed a dressing for this monster and instantly thought of two of my favorite ingredients – hemp seeds and curry.

Sweet and Spicy Curry Dressing

  • 1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • dash of cayenne (optional)
  • 1/2″ thick chunk of fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water, as needed

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy. Makes 4 servings.

It always amazing me how little hemp seeds can take such a smooth and creamy texture in a blender. And this creamy dressing does a great job of coating veggies.

The dressing has a sweet, creamy, and rich curry flavor with a spicy flare from the cayenne that you can adjust or leave out all together.

Happy healthy eating before all the festivities!
