It’s a wet weekend here and our two dogs are not happy refusing to venture out into the backyard in the wind and rain. Okay, I didn’t either for this mornings run. I was planning a quick 3-mile run, but ended up on the elliptical instead with the gusty winds outside. I can handle running […]
Creamy Red Pepper Dressing
Very true this week and soooooo glad the weekend is almost here followed by a short work week for Thanksgiving – woohoo! I’m not the only one a little cranky this week, Leela was not thrilled about sharing her fireplace bed with Smokey. She looked at the bed and me and pouted for awhile before […]
Creamy Zucchini Dill Dressing
Leela is having a rough night parked in front of the fireplace. Can’t blame her, it’s been chilly here in the mornings and evenings, I had to find a little extra motivation to get out of bed this morning in the cold and dark. And I had a serious case of the Mondays yesterday after […]
Tomato Weekend
It’s been such a productive and fun weekend that I’m sad it’s over. The chilly temps in the 30s actually made perfect weather for fast runs Saturday and Sunday mornings. And hubby and I stepped out to see Skyfall and it was awesome! I’ve never been a huge James Bond fan because, while slick and […]
Squash Overload
Ah, I am so glad the weekend is here, it’s been an insane week at work! The last two days were especially insane with after hours calls, overtime, and being pulled in 14 different directions at once. I’m not complaining … that much, I’m glad things are so busy for the company and time does […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry
When I got home after another long work day, Miko was ready to party following me around the house with his toy ready for throwing! We had an extended game of fetch. And tug-of-war. But he’s still ready for more. And I’m ready for our first mini-blast of winter tomorrow with temps dropping 20 […]
Squash Stir Fry for WIAW
What I Ate Wednesdays are great for me because they mean the work week is halfway over and that’s big this week since I’m ready for it to end! I’m on call for work this week and have already had my precious beauty sleep interrupted by server problems too many times, running on about 5 […]
Raw Vegan Sour Cream Dressing
Mondays seem to be salad days for me, I like to start the week off right after a weekend of indulgence. But a healthier dressing recipe that tastes like an indulgence is okay after a long day back to the grind, right? This interesting recipe for Sour Cream Dressing caught my eye for the sweet […]
Baked Banana Squash
It’s been a laid back Saturday of running, catching up with house projects, shopping, laundry, gardening, office paperwork, and lots of playing with this little guy. I also re-imaged my laptop with Windows 8 and still getting the hang of it. It’s very different from Windows 7 and I’ll be testing it for awhile before […]
Trying to Keep It Simple
Halloween was pretty low-key here, hubby carved the pumpkin into an adorable minion from Despicable Me. And I dashed to Target after work to grab Halloween candy which probably wasn’t the best idea waiting until the very last minute, the candy aisle was total chaos with bags thrown everywhere and slow-moving carts trying to find […]
