Whew, it’s been a long week already getting back into the work grove, dealing with the hot weather, and getting caught up with house stuff after a week of playing. Shadow has been very clingy with hubby since we got home making sure he doesn’t leave again. And insisting he has lots of lap time […]
Garden Eating
Mondays are tough enough, but even worse coming back from a week long vacation of fun. And it’s been tough getting back into normal eating mode after a lot of fabulous eats, but not having much in the kitchen and not feeling like grocery shopping helps. We have a build up veggies from the garden […]
Vacation Wrap Up
We’re back home from Lake Tahoe after getting up early this morning, having a nice breakfast at the resort and driving home long before the traffic rush on 80. I’m glad to be home after such a fun and active vacation even though facing a mountain of dirty laundry emptied from the suitcases. And I […]
Great Eats and Views in Tahoe
Aw, I am still in vacation mode… what day of the week is it? Oh yeah, Happy 4th of July! We’ve been having a great time in Lake Tahoe the last few days hiking, biking, exploring, relaxing, and eating. Some notable eats from the last couple of days are this pineapple teriyaki veggie burger from […]
Hiking and Eating in Tahoe
Hello from Lake Tahoe! We’re getting away from the triple digit heat in our area this week to enjoy the 4th of July here! And I love taking road trip vacations because you can pack tons of stuff not worrying about airline luggage weight limits. :-) We took advantage of that by packing for hiking […]
Dill Obsessed
So happy the weekend is finally here even if it is stinking hot with a high of 109 degrees today and triple digits for the rest of the week! The pups are not happy with the heat, Leela has been moping around pouting about the lack of walks. We’ve been enjoying some time indoors catching […]
Random Eats This Week
Woohoo, Friday is almost here! I’m ready even though we’re getting triple digit heat all weekend, we’ll be seeing movies and playing indoors during the worst of it for sure! It’s been a week of great eats here since hubby has been getting into more vegan foods and doing more cooking for us which I […]
Sweet Balsamic Dressing
It’s Wednesday, right? Oh good, getting closer to Friday. It’s been a week of strange weather here, hard rain and temps in the 60s yesterday, back up to the 90s today and triple digit dry heat by Friday! That’s okay with Miko, he’s just happy the rain and wind are done and has been in […]
Chocolate Mousse Cake
Monday again – arg! That’s okay, I’m relaxed after a nice weekend and a fast 3.2 mile treadmill run at the gym after work since it’s actually raining too hard today to run outside. Saturday we had a pleasant family BBQ at my sister’s house for visiting family and, as usual, my dinner plate was […]
Zucchini Dill Hummus
I feel much better now that the weekend is finally here and week-from-hell is over. Doggie balance has been restored in our house since I’m no longer dog-sitting my mom’s chihuahua and hubby is back home from his business trip, so Miko has his gaming buddy back. I’ve been putting my food processor to work […]
