Thursday night dinners should probably be called WTF dinners for me, especially today. I’m usually running low on fresh foods and ideas after a busy week and ending up with crazy concoctions. Tonight was no exception! I had a huge sweet potato that needed to be used up and sliced it in 1/2-1/4″ rounds to […]
Sprouted Chickpeas & Rosemary Potato Wedges
I have mixed feelings about Wednesdays, especially this week. Sometimes I’m celebrating that I’ve survived half the week, this week I’m feeling pretty wiped and grumbling that there’s still two more days to go thanks to being short-handed at work and being on-call this week. Today was another stressful day at work and I had […]
Clarisonic Mia & Quick Stir Fry
Thankfully today was much better at work, most of my co-workers were back. But I’m still feeling a little germaphobic with so many sick people around washing my hands tons and breaking out the cleaning wipes on everything I’ve been touching. Enough about being sick, I don’t want to even think about catching anything before […]
Monday Chaos
There are 5 people in my IT team at work and happy Monday to me – 3 of them called in sick while the 4th had to leave early! Apparently there’s a nasty flu-like thing infecting our department and I spent most of the day juggling 43 tasks at once. The good thing is that […]
Supercharged
Sunday already, I’m sad that the weekend is coming to an end. And that I’m on call next week, ugh. But I banged out the last long run of my half marathon training today, 11 miles, and improved my pace considerably from my 9 mile run last weekend. I’m thrilled about that because it was […]
Vegan Burger & An Evening Out
What a wonderful and relaxing day, not quite as indulging as last Saturday, but a productive and fun day with hubby. I started it with a Vega smoothie for breakfast before hitting the gym for an hour, then I was starved for lunch around 11 AM. I broke out a package of Falafel Sunshine Burgers […]
Sweet Potato Fries & Getting Lazy
TGIF! And a snow-free Friday here! This morning was crazy with rain and 40-mile wind gusts, but that cleared up by the afternoon and never turned into snow as predicted. I’m a little bummed, seeing snow here would have been pretty wild, but oh well. Since it’s still freezing cold here, Smokey parked herself in […]
Chickpea Tofu Curry & CSN Giveaway!
Today’s weather was officially icky – cold, rainy and windy. And it may be followed by snow tomorrow and Saturday! That’s gonna add some complications to my 11 mile run this weekend! But I’m still looking forward to the weekend even if Saturday will be spent parked in front of the fireplace. It’s hard to […]
Snacking & Running
Whew, what a long day of work, running errands, appointments and running. This short week isn’t feeling so short! Even Leela is looking a little worse for wear. I swear she can tell when I’m a little stressed and gets a little stressed herself, usually getting a little more clingy following me around the house. […]
New Shoes & Tofu Marinara
One of the challenges with going vegan for me has been finding vegan friendly shoes in my size that are stylish and appropriate for work. Most business casual shoes that are classy and professional looking are leather or cheap synthetics that don’t look good and/or aren’t comfortable. As my old leather work shoes die, I’ve […]
