What a dirty trick spring forward is! I woke up early this morning thinking I had time for a long run and to touch up my hair roots before church, then realized we lost an hour. Ugh! Oh well, it’s been a great weekend so far and kind of nice to disconnect a little after […]
Vegan Broccoli Quinoa Soup
I’m very ready for this week to end. Excuse me while I whine about work for a minute because everyone is sick with some sort of flu again. Three people in our group were out either sick or caring for a sick kid and I spent the day juggling 14 things at once with constant […]
Savory Fennel Seed Dressing
I think Miko’s day was as crazy as mine, he stayed with my mom while I was at work and her cranky chihuahua who didn’t want to share the attention. And he got chased around by my two very active nieces. He was very ready for a little relaxing in hubby’s lap at the end […]
Super Food Cheesy Sauce
I’m a little sad that it’s Monday already, where did the weekend go? But it was a productive weekend, hubby sweetly sterilized the kitchen since we’re really good and making a mess of it. I got lots of laundry done and a little more decluttering which felt wonderful. And we relaxed with cuddly pets. I […]
Saturday List
Today was a wonderfully calm day, perfect after a busy week. We had no specific plans, just went with it. Some of the highlights: 1. I finished watching Hungry For Change, an interesting documentary about the effects of processed food and chemicals on our health. Overall it was a good documentary with lots of information […]
Sweet & Spicy Onion Dressing
So glad it’s Friday Eve, it’s been a long week being on call for work and tackling lots of projects. We started celebrating early here with a backyard play session when I got home from work. The weather was perfect for a little game of fetch. Leela took the opportunity to kiss up for an […]
Simple Ginger Dressing
When I get home from work, I’m usually confronted with the I-want-dinner-now stare from hungry chihuahuas. Their dinner is always served before I start preparing our dinner so they can beg for dinner number two while we’re eating. I’m usually just as eager for dinner after a busy day, but like to keep things simple […]
Balsamic Avocado Dressing
Oh Monday, I’m glad you’re over! It was not fun getting out of bed this morning after a fun weekend, I might have slept 15 minutes past my alarm and got a scrambled start to the day. And I came home to a frustrated chihuahua ready to tell me all about her boring day. And […]
Capay Valley Almond Festival
I ended up not running yesterday because it was too windy. I can and have run in a lot of weather conditions including freezing rain and triple digit heat, but I’m a wuss when it comes to strong wind. The few times I’ve tried it, I get really tired and a runny nose, no fun! […]
Bye Bye Week
Finally the weekend is here, for a 4-day work week – it felt a lot longer. Actually the busy days flew by, but I felt like mush at the end of them with so many projects going on at my job currently. My sweet hubby made me this cute Grumpy Cat 3D paper meme to […]
