Another weekend gone, wow. Unlike last weekend, this one was much more relaxing with not much on the agenda. We caught up on house work, took long dog walks, had a fabulous dinner out last night, and saw Pitch Perfect today which was actually a great movie, lots of funny and projectile vomit for a […]
Vegan Chef Challenge Experience
October is a great month for vegans in the Sacramento area because of the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge. It’s a fabulous, month-long event where several restaurants in the area, ranging from casual to pricey fine dining, offer new vegan options on the menu for guests to try and rate. This year there are a lot […]
Rosemary Pate
So happy the weekend is almost here, it’s been a long week recovering from last weekend’s half marathon and keeping busy at work. But it’s also WTF Thursday here where our kitchen is getting pretty low on fresh ingredients. It’s a fun opportunity to get creative with unexpected ingredients – most of the time. […]
Simple Fried Green Tomatoes
In junior high, I was just a little obsessed with the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, I think we even had it on VHS. Something about the empowering transformation of Kathy Bates’ character and watching her ram a Beetle with her Ford Land Yacht – those girls deserved it! But I’ve never tried fried green tomatoes, […]
Apple Cinnamon Dressing
It was actually nice being stuck at a desk today after yesterday’s half marathon, my legs are feeling the miles! There are few times I can appreciate resting and being lazy like the day after a half marathon, so I enjoyed a little extra time in the kitchen to experiment with a new fall dressing […]
Survived it!
After a lot of debating yesterday, hubby and I decided to run the Urban Cow Half Marathon today we signed up for back in July even though we weren’t ready, him with a sore ankle and me with sinus issues, and the other two family members we were gonna run it with weren’t able to […]
Relaxed Weekend Start
I’m still on the fence about running the half marathon tomorrow and will probably decide at the very last minute, but it’s not looking good. I woke up with a pounding sinus headache this morning that is the worst I’ve had in a long time and really strange. Maybe the stress I’ve been going through […]
Creamy Hemp Marinara
This has not been an easy week, a lot of stress with being sick, fretting about not being ready to run a half marathon Sunday, busy work days, and sinus headaches. I’ve decided to run the half anyway even if my time is terrible and I succumb to walking much of it with pounding sinus […]
New Seitan & New Toy
This has been a week already! Partway through the day at work yesterday, I started feeling awful with a migraine, nausea, aches, and no energy. When I got home, I found I had a fever and ended up parked on the couch most of the evening. I felt better enough to get back to work […]
Curry Lentil Hummus
Where did the weekend go? Where did September go? Yikes, I’m running another half marathon next weekend after a few weeks of horrible training! Okay, not panicking. Actually I welcome October, it’s one of my favorite months. With the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge going on all month and VeganMofo, October is chuck full of vegan […]
