I am rough on purses and shoes, I seem to go through a lot of them with my job and running around like a crazy person sometimes. And finding good vegan-friendly options to replace them isn’t always easy since I don’t like spending a lot of money on something with will probably be taking a […]
Cheesy Chia Sauce
Somehow I kept thinking hoping today is Thursday and the weekend is around the corner. At least today felt like it should be Thursday since it’s been such a busy week. Leela is looking a little worse for wear from this week too. The poor sweetheart hates houseflies, she has an irrational fear of them […]
Fast Sweet & Spicy Sauce
I can’t get enough of fast, veggie-based blender sauces with plenty of kick lately, they’re perfect for a fast meal after a busy workday. Our poor Vitamix is being worked into the ground, if that’s possible. It gets used at least three times a day lately for smoothies, sauces, etc. The container is starting to […]
Sweet Dijon Dressing
After a long day at work, I just love coming home to hubby and happy wagging chihuahua tails. Miko sits patiently watching me and waiting for any hint that I’m ready to play. He tries to play it cool, but that tail starts going 50 million miles per hour as soon as I look at […]
Just a Chill Weekend
So happy the weekend is here after an emotionally draining week. Things are getting better at work now that we’re not shorthanded and I’m thankful, but there was still a lot going on this week with training and balancing a huge workload. Hubby and I started the weekend at a new Thai restaurant we found […]
Ginger Tahini Dressing
It’s been mostly pleasant here lately with temps in the 80s and plenty of sunshine, I’ll take it over triple digit heat! And the dogs have been enjoying playing in the backyard. Miko loves his Santa toy lately and I need to sneak it into the laundry soon because it’s getting crusty again! Last […]
Missing the Weekend
What a week already, lots of madness at work, sinus headaches, and I’m wondering where the weekend disappeared to so fast! Our family gathering Sunday was great, even if I spent the first part of the day slaving in the kitchen while the guys chilled. Rough life, huh? But the recipes I threw together were […]
Fast Carrot Ginger Pate
Thankfully I’m feeling better today, less congested, and hoping to attempt a long run shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed! Yesterday I ended up doing a workout at home on our elliptical while getting engrossed in Forest Gump. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and I was saturated in sweat – whoops! Hubby and […]
Struggling Through It
This has been a frustrating week since I’m still dealing with the last minor, but annoying cold symptoms of congestion, sinus headaches, energy sags, and sleeping issues. It’s going around everywhere here at work and in the family, but just when I think the symptoms are gone, a scratchy throat flares up again or a […]
Fiery Cilantro Dressing
Things are finally getting back to normal here with hubby thankfully feeling better, but I’m already ready for the weekend. Miko doesn’t mind us being sick if it means more lap time for him. But I mind the dragging days at work and lack of energy. It’s been awhile since I’ve been stuck with a […]
