We tried and for a long time were successful at avoiding the Candy Crush Saga addiction. But temptation finally got the best of us and hubby and I have been sneaking in levels here and there. Hey, it’s a fun game and the levels are short and sweet for when you just need to focus […]
Vegan Chef Challenge at The Porch
Happy weekend! I had a very relaxing day off yesterday that started with leisurely drinking coffee and catching up on news in our office in the morning instead of rushing through my emails before getting ready for work. And I had three office buddies keeping me company. I spent the rest of the day getting […]
Spicy Avocado Dressing
It’s been a busy week at work, not bad, but non-stop. Since last weekend and this weekend will be busy, I decided to take Friday off work. No real reason, just to have a little more down time and catch up on stupid errands. Problem is my to do list for the day is growing […]
Curry Zucchini Soup
Yesterday was a long, but fun day. It was National Plug In Day, a holiday to celebrate electric vehicles, and I volunteered with SacEV at a big celebration event at the Folsom Outlets. It was an all day event and I was scheduled for the second part of the day to show cars, answer questions, […]
Pepper Protein Dressing
Happy Saturday! It’s been a great weekend here so far starting with hubby and I hanging out with some fun work friends last night trying new beers at The Yard House and venting about work stress. This morning I ventured out on my final half marathon training run of 10 miles and have been feeling […]
Balsamic Rosemary Hemp Dressing
Skipper is doing good on his new higher does of insulin, very content to eat everything in sight and happier with the cooler fall weather for sleeping outside in his doghouse. He eats a large breakfast in the morning before his insulin shot and a large dinner before his evening shot, but he could eat […]
Curried Comfort Food
Well hello, Monday, what are you doing back so quick? It was a productive weekend banging out chores and pulling off a 9-mile run for half marathon training. After a day full of rain Saturday it’s starting to feel like fall here finally! The pups are enjoying the cooler temps. It’s almost chilly at night […]
Creamy Protein Dill Dressing
This work week felt like it would never end, but thankfully it did and the weekend is here. And rain is in the forecast pretty much all day, our first major rain storm in months here. It’s a great excuse to stay home and catch up on house projects like the mountain of laundry, vacuuming […]
Cinnamon Raisin Protein Ice Cream
With three dogs now, dinner time is a bit of a chaotic feeding frenzy around here. The boys, Miko and Skipper, clean their bowls and head over to the other bowl to check for more. And check around the bowl for anything missed. It’s so exhausting, Skipper usually crashes for a nap after. I had […]
Hemp Seed Dog Treats
Aw Monday, glad you’re over! And I’m not on call for work this week, woo! Now that hubby is eating a lot less animal products, I’m making more moves to further reduce the processed food products in our kitchen including pet food. Our dogs already eat V-dog vegan dog kibble, but transitioning them to a […]
