At least it’s not Monday anymore, right? That’s the most positive thing I can come up with today and I apologize because I’m feeling pretty fried. There’s a fun little stomach bug ripping through our department that I may have caught partially or am still trying to fight it off because I’ve been feeling tired […]
Signs of Fall
Happy Sunday. I woke up with a start this morning thinking it was Monday and I was running late. Then remembered it’s Sunday and laid back down for a few extra minutes of relax before getting up for a 7.4 mile run, then church, then errands to run and whew, I’m ready to relax now! […]
Ginger Broccoli and Hemp Stir “Fry”
Happy almost Friday, I’m ready to celebrate the weekend now! This has been a long week full of ups and downs. Poor Leela is looking about as dragged out as me! The crazy weather has not helped, we’ve had triple digit heat every day this week with terrible air quality from wild fires burning around […]
Dilly Hemp Dressing
Happy Monday! Okay, I’m sad the weekend is gone already. Things have been pretty slow and lazy around here. With temps in the 100s most of this week still, no one seems to be motivated to go outside or do anything. I felt that at work today with air conditioning issues and doesn’t that always […]
Budget Friendly Raw Recipes
The summer heat has been brutal this week, 110 degrees was the high while we were running errands at 4 PM today according to hubby’s car and it felt like it. I’ve been lugging lots of bottles of ice water with me and spent most of today inside catching up on housework while getting the […]
Tempeh Stuffed Pepper
Tempeh is my current favorite post-workout dinner. Especially after another intense 3 mile run pushing my pace and incline. I’m usually craving protein and and something hearty after a serious sweat session. But not something hot in our extreme, triple-digit heat this week! Tonight I decided to use tempeh in a quick, semi-raw stuffed pepper […]
Creamy Summer Salad
This has been a challenging week already at work, things aren’t slowing down with our workload being over double what it was just a few months ago. I’m thankful, but stressed just a bit. And living off of smoothies, leftovers, and simple salads the last few days while cramming in gym time and the “to […]
Ginger Tempeh Hummus
Okay, this weekend might be going by too fast. Friday, well most of the week, was simply insane at work. Time flew, but the stress levels weren’t fun at all and haven’t been easy to come down from this weekend. I spent most of Saturday running errands and getting the house under control with gardening […]
Minty Cantaloupe Salad
Mint is taking over one of our planter beds, seriously! I adore the stuff, but am clearly not consuming it fast enough. I tried to change that grabbing a handful for a new salad experiment. And found out Miko enjoys mint leaves as much as I do. Apparently I wasn’t the only one grabbing dinner […]
Sweet Mustard Dressing
Two days into the work week and things aren’t looking too bad, work madness is settling just slightly and I’ve been feeling pretty great about my half marathon training so far. I’m actually enjoying my weekday runs on a treadmill at the gym after work, it’s kind of nice to get my workout done right […]
