Again today I’m not posting about food, but still gushing about our fabulous mini-getaway to Fort Bragg, CA. Good thing because today wasn’t fabulous, it was actually a long and stressful day that started with a crazy morning at work. Then taking a long lunch to visit my grandma in the hospital which was a […]
Glass Beach & Botanical Gardens
Our little anniversary getaway to Fort Bragg, CA was an absolute blast that went by too fast. Instead of preparing to head back to work tomorrow, I’ve been enjoying sorting through the 2,ooo+ pictures hubby and I took over this adventure. Sorry, no food in this post. But it’s interesting to see how much I’ve […]
Long & Perfect Day
This has been a wonderful getaway in Fort Bragg, California so far – not sure I’m ready to leave soon! But I think hubby and I need to make this a new tradition of taking a fun road trip for our wedding anniversary. It’s been a long day, we’re a little sun burned, tired, and […]
Fort Bragg & Mendo Bistro
Hello from Fort Bragg! Before taking off this morning, I crammed in a 4.2 mile run that felt wonderful before sitting for the 4-hour drive to get here. The drive was gorgeous, it really didn’t seem that long at all driving by bright sunflower fields, mountains, red wood parks, and Clear Lake. Where the weather […]
Goddess Dressing & Comfort Dinner
I’m planning a mini getaway to the cool beaches of Northern California and can’t wait! Things have been non-stop for the last month or so with so much going on at work that I’m just starting to feel a little burned out even doing the things I enjoy, like blogging, playing with recipes, and working […]
Off Menu Vegan Ordering
TGIF! And I couldn’t be readier for the weekend after this week and soooooo much going on at work. It was actually relaxing and therapeutic to step out to our backyard garden to water it and inspect all the growing loot. And even better that I pulled my first pumpkin from it! Okay, it’s a […]
Vibrant Lemon Quinoa
Shadow is a sweetheart … when he’s not sinking his teeth or claws I forgot to clip into our hands. Luckily his ADD kicks in before he does too much damage. Just need to wave a shiny object and it gets his attention for 1.26 seconds. Before he notices the sun shining on the ceiling. […]
WIAW & Spaghetti Squash Marinara
I’ve finally decided to participate in What I Ate Wednesday. It’s not easy taking pictures of everything I ate on a work day! Obvious from my half awake picture of my breakfast smoothie. Breakfast Hemp protein powder, a banana, kale, two small carrots, chia seeds, and some alfalfa sprouts in a neat smoothie to go. […]
Raw Broccoli Soup
Even though I have a mixed relationship with raw broccoli, I’m still trying raw broccoli recipes I like and that won’t upset my insides, which usually means it needs to be pureed or pulverized in a food processor. I was glad to hear I’m not an odd duck in my dislike of raw broccoli, Cherie […]
Growing & Storing Sprouts
I’m obsessed with sprouts and write about them a lot, like all the health benefits of them in this post. I try to always have fresh sprouts in the fridge, but that’s not always easy with my work schedule and sprouters requiring rinsing twice a day. Most seeds need to be soaked for 8 hours […]
