Yay, tomorrow is Friday – oh wait, damn! For some reason I keep thinking today is Thursday, not Wednesday. After the crazy week it’s been, it just feels like the weekend should be closer and especially since it’s a 3 day weekend. Even Miko is looking a little worse for wear bundled in his bed […]
Chocolate Banana Mousse
I’ve never been big into preparing special meals on Valentine’s Day since it usually falls on a work day and all I want is a simple night out with wine. But I’ll make an exception if the recipe is quick, easy, and loaded with chocolate. In fact, with as stressful as work has been lately, […]
A Little Shopping
Gah, how did another weekend whiz by so fast? It was such a relaxing and productive weekend that I’m not ready for it to end! I used the off-and-on rainy weather as an excuse to enjoy some downtime at home working out in our home gym with a helpful ab weight buddy. This pretty much […]
Feeling a Little Crazy
Maybe it’s the full moon. Or the odd off-and-on winter weather we’ve had this week. Or maybe dealing with plenty of stress at work with more people out sick this entire week and us healthy ones grumbling about carrying the extra work load and stress. And maybe it has something to do with a co-worker […]
WIAW with Cauliflower Soup
Even though I said I probably wouldn’t do another half marathon this year, I registered for one yesterday for the end of April. I’m a sucker, but I couldn’t resist when I got a company email looking for employees to join a newly created running team and run this half to raise money for a […]
Raw Broccoli Corn Soup
It seems the day after the Superbowl should be a national holiday off work, don’t you think? Even though I’m not a huge football fan, I was feeling the fun of last night’s party when my alarm went off this morning and dragged through the morning at work. But it was worth it. Before hubby […]
VegFest
Today was an interesting day because I finally made it to VegFest, a local vegan and vegetarian festival in Sacramento. And it was very popular and crowded! Seeing so many people interested vegan and vegetarian food, demonstrations, and products was very inspiring even if a little hard to navigate my way through the crowd. There […]
Noodle Tempeh Stir Fry
Now I remember why I’ve been holding off for so long on replacing my car – car shopping is a pain in the rear! I’m spoiled by having a reliable car that’s been paid off for over 7 years. But browsing the prices, payments, insurance costs, etc. on a new car is frustrating after so […]
Hemp Spinach Soup
When I’m flying solo for dinner, I’m usually not sitting at the table alone. Shadow sits and pouts in hubby’s seat starring at me as if asking what I did with his favorite guy. I try to convince Shadow he’ll be home shortly, but he just stares at me with that worried and sad look. […]
Chia Seed Fun
Like the new look? It’s still a work in progress as I tweak little things here and there. And a nice project to snap me out of a funk I’ve been in the last few days just feeling a little bored, drained, and overwhelmed all at once from work, life, and sinus issues. Miko, on […]
