Hello from San Francisco! I’m in the city for the 3rd Annual Foodbuzz Blogger Festival and having a blast so far. Hubby and I arrived into the city yesterday afternoon and checked into our cute, little, old-but-renovated hotel room. It’s very cozy! We weren’t even in the city for an hour before I got into […]
Hemp Hummus Pate
We are still learning loads about our newly adopted chihuahua, the most recent discovery is he hates cold weather. Add a little rain to the mixture, like today, and Miko is not a happy camper about backyard potty trips. I’m not one who normally dresses dogs up, but we may need to get the little […]
Raw Curry Pate
Things are getting wild around here in the evenings! Miko is so happy when we’re both home, he turns into a wild man tearing around the house, chasing our other chihuahua, and chomping on his toys. He’s obsessed with his stuffed green toy that’s about the same size as him, so funny to watch him […]
Creamy Tofu Pesto
Happy Halloween! I’m writing this post in between many trips to the front door handing out candy and checking out some really cute costumes … like a fairy/butterfly on inline skates. Yesterday I was so busy catching up on house work, mowing the lawn so kids could find our house, relaxing, and playing with dogs […]
Vega Performance Protein
I’m thrilled the weekend is finally here, it wasn’t an easy week. Hubby was gone on a business trip all week while I was home alone breaking in and training our new chihuahua, on call for work, and having another busy week at work! Last night after work, I ran to Whole Foods to pick […]
Escaping to Apple Hill
I finally got a day off work today to sneak up to Apple Hill for a little festive fall scenery. It ended up being just my mom and I on this trip, but the weather was perfect, in the 60s and sunny. Apple Hill can be a bit dizzying to visit because there are tons […]
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
I’ve had my hands full the last two days breaking in Miko, our newly adopted rescued chihuahua, who is currently snoring in my lap after another intense play session. When we first brought him home Saturday, he was a calm and sweet little guy. Sunday he turned into a wild party animal thinking our cats […]
New Family Member
Remember how I said I almost adopted another chihuahua last weekend? Well, funny story: hubby and I went back to that pet store today and the same dog rescue group was there and so was the chihuahua. So I had hubby spend some time with him and… Meet Miko, the latest addition to our family! […]
Tahini Quinoa & Quick Salad
What’s really frustrating about this week is that even though it’s been busy, it seems to be going by slowly! So hooray for tomorrow being Friday! There’s still so much going on at work and I just feel like I need more time to catch my breath and catch up with my growing task list. […]
Kale & A New Cutting Board
I had an upsetting vegan experience at work yesterday. For the last 2 months, we’ve been working in overdrive at work for a new project start up and the department responsible threw an appreciation luncheon for everyone that worked hard on it. I knew Chinese food was going to be served, so I didn’t worry […]
