What a week so far, I’m holding down the fort at work while so many are on vacation and holding it down at home too watching three chihuahuas while my mom is on vacation and hubby is out of town. And good luck getting them to take a picture together. And I’m on call this […]
Ginger Miso Soup
Monday got here fast again, blah. Our relaxing weekend flew by while we were enjoying it before the long week ahead. We saw This Is the End and it was a crazy, funny romp that may be a bit too raunchy for some. The pets were happy to hang inside most of the weekend avoiding […]
Raw Food For Dummies Event
Last night I attended a cool event at Baagan, one of my favorite local high-raw vegan restaurants where I’m obsessed their salad trio. Cherie Soria and Dan Ladermann of the Living Light Institute stopped by to promote their new book, Raw Food for Dummies. Of course I had to grab a copy to add to […]
Tuscan Avocado Dressing
Friday is almost here, finally! It’s been a long week here with lots going on at work and in life in general. And I had a conflicted vegan moment today because it’s the first day of our local summer farmer’s market and I really wanted to stop by after work. But I got a farm […]
Carrot Curry Sauce
It’s been a bit of a draining week already, I came home from work yesterday in a funk from the stressful day, it was nice to chill with these two for awhile while I decided what to do for dinner. Crazy days seem to squash my creativity in the kitchen, I wasn’t sure what I […]
Chia Marinara Sauce
The last two days have been interesting with temps above 100 degrees here, we’ve been doing as much as we can indoors and trying not to melt! If this post seems a little off, I might be slightly delirious from the heat, sorry. But we get a break from it tomorrow and I’m looking forward […]
Curry Flax Sauce
Friday is almost here, finally! It’s been a long week with a lot going on at work, I’ve been dragging in the evenings this week just wanting to come down from the busy day. But I’ve been getting in therapy time in the kitchen creating recipes and inspired to work with chia and flax seeds […]
Tahini Dill Dressing
Back to reality after another fun weekend and summer is officially here with temps in the 90s and 100s, eek! The pups have been perfectly happy to lounge inside enjoying the air conditioning with hubby. And I’m happy to enjoy cool, hydrating, raw salads in the dry heat, especially when they’re coated in creamy tahini […]
Women’s Fitness Festival 5k
Wow, where did the weekend go? It’s been a fun and interesting one if a little busy. Friday night we stepped out for sushi and came home to watch The Bay and what a great found footage-style thriller like Cloverfield and Chronicle. I liked the underlying message about the environment and factory farming even though […]
Chocolate Brownie Balls
I can’t complain about this work week, it’s been much better than last week being shorter and not on call. But still happy tomorrow is Friday and I decided to celebrate early with hubby by stepping out to Baagan for lunch for this week’s salad trio – a unique shaved brussels sprouts, apple, and mustard […]
