I’m feeling a little better after my venting session and my car has a new windshield with the inside smelling like fresh glue, ugh. Hopefully I can avoid getting stuck behind another dump truck! And make it through this week at work! It’s been crazy busy the last few days, I was stuck at the […]
Just Venting
The last few days have been pretty awful so excuse me while I have a little pity party. Sunday night I started getting bladder infection symptoms which made for a bad night’s sleep. By Monday morning, the symptoms were mild enough for me to suspect a false alarm and I went along with my day. […]
Soggy Chill Weekend
It’s been an interesting weekend with the skies looking pretty angry for most of it. And plenty of gusty rain to go a long with them, not pleasant to be outside in at all! So, with the exception of a few errands, we stayed inside and enjoyed the Christmas tree and decorations. And played a […]
Vegan Breakfast Quinoa
I’m actually happy that December is here already, bring on the holiday cheer! November ended roughly for me with two crazy days at work and crazy stormy weather the last 4 days now, so I’m hoping things slow down a bit for the holidays. Hubby and I started the weekend with a relaxing dinner out […]
Creamy Marinara Sauce
It’s really feeling like Christmas now, our Christmas tree is complete with our collection of bubble lights and childhood toys converted into ornaments. Topped with a glow-in-the-dark Hoberman Sphere that I bought for hubby as a gift in the 90s… I think, and plenty of Mardi Gras beads we’ve collected over the years at various […]
Sweet Broccoli Puree
So many people I know complain about setting up Christmas trees and decorations, but I love it. There’s something special about bringing out boxes of decorations and family treasures filled with memories to wrap up another year. Our Christmas tree is quite a production that I’m still putting the finishing touches on. I probably have […]
Holiday Time
Whew, the last few days have been a blur of making a mess of my kitchen, cleaning it, running, shopping, and getting ready for the holidays and another family gathering last night. But I’ve also been sleeping in and cuddling with sweet pets in the chilly weather here, it’s been heavenly to have a few […]
Raw Vegan Cranberry Sauce
Ah, I am enjoying a nice relaxing morning by the fireplace with some very cuddly dogs thinking about going for a run in a bit and thankful I’m not participating in the madness of Black Friday. I know, how un-American of me! But I worked in retail on Black Fridays in the past at an […]
Ginger Hemp Pate
I’m feeling much better after my little pre-holiday funk, not stressed about tomorrow at all and had an easy half day at work and now a long holiday weekend full of family and food ahead, can’t complain about that! We will be having a chihuahua party here for the next two days watching my mom’s […]
One Sauce for Multiple Meals
Miko had a great weekend toasting in front of the fireplace and playing. I wish I could say the same, but I’ve been in a funk the last few days feeling cranky, tired, maybe slightly stressed about the holidays and money, and frustrated. It’s a pretty common thing for me in November for some reason, […]
