Saturdays are great, why can’t everyday be Saturday? Oh yeah, guess I kind of need to work. Rats. This morning I was craving something different from my usual smoothie for breakfast. So I threw together a quick chia seed pudding of: 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk 2 tbsp. chia seeds 1/3 cup frozen organic blueberries, […]
Frustrating Friday
I had planned to have more exciting eats today for dinner, but it didn’t turn out that way. Today was a frustrating end to a stressful week. Work was insane again with lots going on, but I did manage to break away with co-workers for lunch at a Thai restaurant. And an interesting/annoying mix-up happened […]
New Spiral Slicer & Tempeh Marinara
I know things are too crazy when I don’t have the time or energy to play with a new toy. That’s just a crime! Hubby got me Helen’s Asian Kitchen Spiral Slicer for our anniversary and I’m finally getting around to playing with it nearly 2 weeks later. I also have the World Cuisine spiral […]
WIAW & Green Hummus
I’m relieved this week is more than halfway over because I’m exhausted with stress. I actually overslept my alarm this morning, I remember setting it before bed, but woke up 20 minutes past it to find it was off. Somehow I turned it off and don’t remember. Scary! Note to self: get to bed earlier […]
Tofu Pesto Squash Skillet
Leela and I are doing much better today, she was back to her old begging self around dinner time. And I’m looking forward to a nice, long run to a new playlist shortly to blow off a little steam. Still feeling a little fried and already looking forward to the weekend, but better news about […]
Ginger Hemp Pate
Today was an emotional roller coaster with work stress and not great news about my grandma, I guess I’ve been a little cranky because Leela has resorted to hiding behind my collection of race shirts. Hint taken. Amazing how she can sense my mood better than I can sometimes. After such an exhausting day, it […]
Tomato Curry Stir Fry
Sunday already, where did this weekend go? It was a long day for me that started with a 5-mile run this morning since I’m officially training for another half-marathon in October – woohoo! But it was a tough run thanks to strong winds and just being a little tired from the stress of the week […]
Mesquite Noodle Salad
One of my splurge buys at the Living Light Marketplace was mesquite powder, something I’ve never worked with before and didn’t know much about. It looks and smells a lot like raw cacao powder with a rich, chocolaty smell. And it seems like it’s used in a lot of raw chocolate desserts and savory chili […]
Dijon Quinoa Slaw
After such a wonderful trip in Fort Bragg earlier this week, it’s been painful getting back into the grind. Especially with family emergencies, work stress, and housework to catch up on. Sadly I still have unpacking and laundry to do from the trip and have not made it to the grocery store yet. Thankfully yesterday […]
Experiencing Living Light
On our final day in Fort Bragg, CA, we hit the down town area for a little shopping and lunch before starting the 4-hour drive home. There were plenty of cute little shops to spend money in. And lots of dog-friendly products since it’s a very dog-friendly town. I can just see my dog wearing…. […]
