Doesn’t Smokey look so comfy? She just loves my pillow and never misses an opportunity to make make herself at home on it when I forget to make the bed further reminding me that I’m out of my game this week still recovering from a bladder infection and slightly goofed up on antibiotics. Ugh, I’ve […]
Cucumber Hemp Soup
Yesterday was a nightmare, I felt like I got shot in the stomach most if the day and still recovering today. After a lengthy doctor’s appointment, turns out I had a bladder infection that was starting to wreak havoc on my kidneys, not fun! A day into antibiotics and I’m starting to feel human again. […]
Blah Day & A Winner!
Memorial day ended up being a bust here, hubby and I took it easy around the house since I woke up feeling awful – achy, feverish, and tired. Ugh, not fun! I’ve been laying around drinking a lot of water while he made progress in the garden planting our new fig tree. Which already has […]
Chilling & Grilling
Long weekends are great – it’s Sunday, but it feels like Saturday, love it! And it’s been a great weekend so far, I met up with my mom and sisters for lunch in Old Town Sacramento yesterday where the music festival just happened to be going on. There were bands set up to play all […]
Salads and a Splurge
I am so glad the long weekend is here because what a week at work! And a week of smoothies, simple stir fries, and salads for meals since I haven’t been grocery shopping in awhile and literally took the last two carrots from my fridge and some kale from the garden for a smoothie, I’m […]
Wishful Thinking
The problem with work weeks before a long holiday weekend is they seem like they’ll never end! I spent most of the day at work thinking it was Thursday and slightly depressed when the reality sunk in that it’s only Wednesday. But it’s been that kind of a week at work! Can I switch places […]
New NuNaturals Stevia Flavors and a Giveaway!
NuNaturals Stevia is my favorite brand of liquid stevia for just about anything I need to sweeten because, unlike other brands I’ve tried, it does not have a bitter aftertaste and a little goes a long way. NuNaturals recently came out with two new flavors of liquid stevia they sent me to try, Pure Liquid […]
Hiking and Salad Simplicity
After a crazy week at work, we decided to escape to Table Mountain yesterday for a peaceful hike and a change of scenery. The blooming flowers were beautiful. And there were plenty of tadpoles in the streams and ponds, a very health sign for spring to me. Both hubby and I had a great time […]
Simple Stir Fry
At my niece’s birthday party a couple of weekendss ago, I got chatting with a family friend about eating healthier and she expressed frustration that time and planning for dinner is an issue while working full time with a young child, she and her husband are too fried after working all day to put together […]
Tomato Hemp Alfredo Sauce
Is there anything more decadent and unhealthy than a traditional Alfredo sauce? Most of the recipes I’ve seem are solid cream, butter, cheese and all-fat milk. Not very vegan friendly and a dangerous gut bomb when paired with pasta. But I never get tired of creating healthier, high-raw versions to coat veggies in. Tonight I […]
