It has been a crazy week at work with co-workers taking days off for Thanksgiving, on baby leave, and calling in sick. Non-stop stress and running around with too much multitasking makes work days a blur and my brain feeling mushy at the end of the day. But I’m in a great mood because I’m […]
Apple Broccoli Soup
It’s actually cold and rainy here today and Miko is not a happy camper, he’d rather snuggle up inside than go outside and do his doggy business. It takes a little extra coaxing to get him to the backyard and he usually stays under the overhang and refuses to step out into the rain. Skipper, […]
Quinoa with Anise Seed
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, it’s been productive and relaxing here so far. We watched our neighbor cover their house in Christmas decorations yesterday and I love it, think I ready to decorate ours. :-) The weather is getting chilly with lows in the 30s this weekend and I also love that, great […]
Simple Chili Soup
I’m picky about what we feed the dogs after being horrified at what’s in most cheap dog foods. I’m always looking for healthy, vegan-friendly dog food and treats that won’t break our budget with three dogs now. Luckily they seem pretty happy with V-Dog food, but they also get a lot of treats. I’m just […]
Broccoli Mash & Butternut Pudding
Lately I’ve been watching random shows and movies on Netflix during home workouts and I decided to watch Forks Over Knives last night. I’ve seen it before, but it’s been over two years and I decided I needed a refresher on all the information. I’m glad I watched it again to rejuvenate healthier eating habits […]
Dijon Persimmon Dressing
I adore quiet and relaxing Sunday mornings where the house is quiet and I get to sip coffee and catch up on online news while lazy dogs snuggle up near the space heater. Yesterday I had a very expensive trip to the mall that I’m not happy about, but finally had to admit I needed […]
Smokey Apple Dressing
Wow, this week has flown by with busy work days and new toy excitement with my new iPad. I’ve been spending plenty of time playing Plants vs. Zombies 2, it’s slightly addicting and even more fun on a larger screen. Skipper has been doing good, he seems to be doing better with his current insulin […]
Santa Came Early & Simple Sauce
After a busy day at work yesterday, I came home to a fun surprise from hubby – early Christmas! A cute little Christmas tree with two similar sized gifts for each of us. And inside was…. A new iPad Air! I’m so excited because this is my first iPad! I use a work iPad for […]
Baked Kabocha for the Weekend List
Happy fall back, we’ll be changing all the clocks in the house today – yay. But at least it will be light for driving to work in the morning for a little longer. On the other hand, the sun will be setting much earlier and soon it will be dark when I go to work […]
Simple Soft Serve
Happy Halloween! I’m typing this between running trips to the front door to hand out candy and we’re getting a lot of trick-or-treaters! Hubby did an awesome job on our jack-o-lantern. And we’ve got three pouting dogs in the backyard. Skipper has a hugely loud and booming bark that rattles us every time the doorbell […]
