Summer is officially here, it was 102 degrees today! Crazy that I was complaining about the cold just earlier this month. Our poor garden is feeling the heat and looking a little sad. But the cute little sunflowers in my backyard are blooming in the sweltering heat. And all I’m craving is cold, raw meals […]
Hummus & Just Wow
Happy Meatless Monday! Wait, everyday is meatless for me. :-) But I came across this amazing Meatless Monday article for a great motivational post! Holy smokes, shes over 70! And a vegan for 40 years and thriving! I’ve heard of Mimi Kirk, but had no idea about her age and how long she’s been a […]
New Office & Tempeh Salad
Finally, pictures of the new office! Half at least. :-) I completely gutted our unused guest room on a lonely week deciding we could use it as our office just over a month ago. Hubby and I took the opportunity to have the room painted and completely design the layout with Ikea furniture using FloorPlanner. […]
Pizza & Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats
It’s so nice to finally be getting summer weather here, for now I’m enjoying the heat and appreciated the perfect conditions for a 3.2 mile run this morning. As much as I enjoy running races, it’s kind of nice to run just for exercise without the stress of pushing my distance and time. I’m not […]
Smoothie To Go & A Winner
TGIF! The end of this week couldn’t come faster! Especially after today! There was so much going on at work and I decided to cram in a Target run on my lunch break.When I came back to my car, I found a monster pickup truck parked in the spot next to me and my spot, […]
Chia Drink & Spicy Soy Beans
Since the weather is so nice and I felt like splurging for lunch, I headed to Whole Foods to enjoy a salad outside. Because my job can be stressful, I like to sneak away from the office for lunch to a peaceful, more relaxing eating environment. Granted, that can be a mixed bag at Whole […]
Ginger Hemp Dolmas
Smokey has a rough life, can’t you tell? It’s hard not feeling relaxed just looking at her. Gotta respect a cat that has no problem letting it all hang out and enjoying simple pleasures in life like cheap Ikea mats and sunlight. She inspired me to focus on simple pleasures for dinner like my favorite […]
Can’t Go Wrong Chickpea Stew
Never fails, whenever I park it on the couch with my laptop, Shadow thinks it’s his personal scratching device. Using the air compressor to blast grey cat fur from laptops is a regular chore around here. He gets overwhelmed when both hubby and I are on the couch with laptops going back and forth. While […]
New Protein & Old Favorite
A lot of progress was made today on our new office thanks to hubby, but I’m still waiting for my new chair and have plenty of organizing to do. With all the new shelves, lots of important decisions on displaying and organizing them without looking cluttered. It’s getting there and the reveal will come … […]
Getting Stuffed
After a very productive weekend, our new office is almost ready! Thanks to hubby, the new Ikea shelves are up and I’m sitting at my awesome new desk now and loving it. Just a few minor tweaks and details, they you’ll be treated to about 8,000 pictures of it. :-) After an awfully cold and […]
