I’m starting to feel normal again after such a crazy week, not sure having a day off for the holiday and a party to plan for in the middle of the week was as relaxing as it sounded with so much going on at work. After this work week, I spent most of yesterday in […]
Back At It
Yesterday’s celebration for the 4th at my father’s house was so pleasant after 2 days of insanity, it was perfect to disconnect and spend the day with family even if a little too much wine and food was had. It wouldn’t be one of our family gatherings without plenty of veggies, hummus and wine for […]
Another Creamy Avocado Dressing
So far July is off to a stressful start here, the work week started with a bang with a couple of server issues today and I’m on call this week dealing with more issues tonight and hoping for things to settle down enough to get in a workout, ugh! I had a feeling this was […]
Tempeh Zucchini Hummus
I’m not sad that this is the last day of June, it was not a good month for me with work craziness and personal stress. I welcome July with open arms. July is summer to me with fireworks, hot temps, the California State Fair, my birthday, hopefully another Raw Health Expo, and other fun things […]
Mint Hemp Seed Chutney
I am so happy the weekend is almost here, this week has been rough at work and home with a house full of chihuahuas watching my mom’s chihuahua while she’s on vacation. Things have not exactly been peaceful here, they squabble over getting our attention, dinner, treats, and beds. Miko has been claiming the new […]
Spicy Pineapple Hemp Dressing
Things are getting crowded and competitive here! We’re watching my mom’s chihuahua this week and he’s just as much of an attention hog as Miko. Poor hubby can’t sit down without getting two very affectionate chihuahuas in his lap. And I get three chihuahuas following me all over the house. Walk time has been interesting […]
Fun with a Julienne Peeler
Another weekend went by way too fast, mentally prepping myself for another work week is more challenging than usual after a crazy week. But I’m trying to be optimistic, this week could be much better – right? I caught up on about 6 loads of laundry today getting ready for the week, including washing the […]
Tangy Green Dressing
Happy Saturday and I am so glad the weekend is here! What a week at work! Down time is so important now when things won’t be slowing down over the next few weeks, our team is short-staffed again and lots of people taking vacations, except me :-(, and still plenty of projects and upgrades going […]
Quick Tempeh Burgers
Is it Friday yet? Someone please say yes! Things just have not been slowing down at work, I spent most of the morning putting out fires and feeling torn in 14 directions at once. Weeks like this are tough because I come home feeling mentally drained and not too creative for dinner. Not a problem […]
Edamame Corn Salsa
Sometimes I wish I could party at home all day like Miko. And he’s ready to party more when I get home letting me know it’s toy-throwing and tug-o-war time. How can you resist this face? And a good growl session is very therapeutic after another crazy day at work. So is a bright and […]
