Miko goes through toys, lots of toys, and usually by ripping holes in them so big a sewing machine can’t save them. He even brings his toys to bed and pouts when he leaves them in the backyard until we open the door so he can go get it. He’s a happy camper with his […]
Weekend List
I’m a little sad that our three day weekend is coming to an end, but feeling refreshed for the work week ahead – I hope. It’s been a productive, relaxing, and fun weekend that’s just easier to break down in a list. :-) 1. With all the controversy surrounding GMO foods, especially corn and soy, […]
Play Days and Curry Apple Dressing
Happy Saturday. We’re nice and relaxed here, Leela has not been wanting to get out of bed the last few mornings. I took yesterday off work and hubby and I have basically been playing and relaxing the last two days and it’s been wonderful after a strange and stressful work week. I took Friday off […]
Split Lentils and Broccoli Stew
This has been a strange week at work with announcements of possibly big changes ahead in our department and plenty of work. Sleep has not been super easy with so much on my mind and I get a little cranky when I’m tired. I understood road rage a lot more this morning when a teenager […]
Versatile Creamy Asian Sauce
Oh boy, Monday again. Actually this one isn’t too bad since I’m not on call for work this week and I’m taking a much needed day off. Mondays are a great opportunity to start the week of food off right. In one of the raw vegan recipe classes I went to awhile back, we were […]
Being a Kid
Yesterday we celebrated my niece’s birthday at SkyZone, a huge trampoline gym in this area, where the adults had a blast too. I spent an hour doing this. And this. Acting like a big kid. Trying some tricks and just having fun burning energy. And wow, I forgot how much of a workout it is […]
Kicky Avocado Dressing
I know, another avocado dressing. I can’t help it! Avocados are cheap here now, under $1 each. And they’re amazing! Plus I have a few ripe ones I needed to use up quick this week. I have not been to a grocery store in over a week as I’m having fun using up what I […]
Avocado Mint Dressing
Why isn’t it Friday yet?! Happy Wednesday. It’s been a strange week here with a lot going on at work and home, I’ve been feeling torn in many directions at work. I think poor Miko is getting a little bored with me hoping for a little play time. Such a sad face. And I feel […]
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
Monday is almost over, whew! And happy Earth Day! Doing anything special to celebrate? Not me … besides being a vegan, driving an electric car, and composting. :-) Composting is an interesting adventure that can be messy and take up a lot of space, but LifeHacker posted a super easy method to create instant compost […]
Bonfire Party with Pickle BBQ Sandwiches
Well, another weekend flew by too fast. At least it was a crazy and fun weekend! My husband is in an 80s rock cover band and they’re awesome for a group of guys with full time IT jobs. Last night they had a wild gig at a private party and the location was gorgeous. The […]
