One thing I do not miss since going vegan is cooking meat and what hassle that could be trying to cook it properly with one-pot meals while not under cooking it or drying it out. And you know how much I adore quick, vegan one-pot meals since most of my main recipes are exactly that. […]
Curry Salad & Protein Dessert Soup
I hope Monday treated you well. I can’t complain, work wasn’t too stressful and I got in a decent run before dinner. Remember this monster jar of fermented veggies? I decided today was a great day to crack into it for a monster dinner salad. I removed the celery pieces used to push the veggies […]
Eating Out & A Game
I woke up this morning to rain and a mushy backyard, not exactly friendly running weather. Not that I have a problem running in rain, just with the cold and wind part. So my half marathon training has been going slow with our crazy weather lately. I’ve been getting plenty of short runs in during […]
Super Lazy Day
Today has been very uneventful, I’ve just been relaxing at home, working out, watching TV and eating and it’s been wonderful after a busy week and an evening out tonight. Our cats have even gotten into the relaxing action taking up the couch. And spending lots of time in our laps. I did try another […]
Crispy Not Chicken Salad
TGIF! Nice to put this long week behind and move into a little fun and relax time. Since it was another cold and foggy day, we opted for a relaxing evening at home where Leela took her place in front of the fireplace to park all night. And Smokey played her favorite game of carrying […]
Throw-it-in Stew
Woohoo, almost Friday! It’s been a long week, but not a bad week, so I can’t complain. I’m just feeling a little extra tired because I’ve been stepping up my workouts by upping the resistance on my elliptical, working on my abs more and extending my running intervals. That’s a lot to do in one […]
Sugar Detox
Today has been an oddly foggy and wet day, it was an eerie drive to work this morning. Of course it’s also another opportunity to play with the telephoto lens. Even though it wasn’t that cold, it feels bone-chilling with so much moisture in the air. It’s like an X-files episode here, hope not a […]
Pineapple Stir Fry Sauce
It’s only Tuesday, really? Oh well, this week is feeling like a long blur. After all the holidays, fun and days off – these 5 days weeks are tough! I’m still using up plenty of leftovers from Saturday, Stacey brought over two huge containers of fresh sprouts, plus I had a ton in my fridge […]
Creamy Tomato Soup
My fridge is still jammed packed with fresh veggies and leftover ingredients from Saturday’s party, I’ve been eating a lot of chocolate mocha cake the last few days which is all right. But I’m also stocked with fresh cabbage, celery and plenty of other ingredients from the recipes we created. After 2 days of eating […]
New Toys
Wow, Sunday already. Not sure I’m thrilled about facing a long week. It’s a fresh start, it’s a fresh start … right? Well, at least I get to look forward to eating leftover mocha cake from yesterday and watching that huge jar of veggies ferment this week. It’s been slowly bubbling most of day today, […]
