Ah, Monday and after a long, relaxing weekend. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to jump out of our warm bed in the dark cold this morning and trying to get back into the grind was not easy. But I am grateful I had Black Friday off work. I worked for a small, private IT company for […]
Changing it up
I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend, I am and getting some stuff done. Actually I’ve been a bit bored this weekend, which isn’t a bad thing after all the holiday excitement. Coming down from all the food prep excitement and retail over stimulation left me feeling a little blah yesterday. It didn’t help […]
Leftovers & Being Lazy
I am still decompressing from all the Thanksgiving preparations and festivities, we’ve spent most of today cleaning a trashed kitchen and lounging around the house. My cats have this art mastered on what’s essentially become their personal couch. Rough life. And joining me for a lazy TV snack. Then we crammed in a little shopping […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello and happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully everyone is have a wonderful day with family and food. I’m wiped after spending most of the day in the kitchen prepping foods to take tonight, so this will be a post of little words. :-) It’s a chilly day here and I got to scamper through a frost covered […]
Chipotle & Butternut Lentils
One day countdown to Thanksgiving and I successfully navigated my way through Whole Foods without losing my sanity today. Sure, it was crowded, but no where near as bad as I was preparing myself for. And I even got a parking spot in the front without trying. Granted there were two monster trucks on even […]
Pineapple Tempeh Stir Fry
I wish I could say this week at work has been relaxing and you’d think it would be with so many people taking the week off. But oh no, it’s been crazy! I’m so glad it’s a short week, everyone seems stressed and cranky – including me. And my mom’s cats who stalked me when […]
Clearing out & Butternut Day
Whew, Monday again! Good thing it’s a short week and I’m feeling pretty good after a productive weekend. I got another car load to the Goodwill and found that location was pretty packed with stuff already. Since the holidays can mean lots of new stuff coming in, nice to get the old out first. And […]
Vegan Chili To Go
Don’t get me wrong, I love that huge monitors are so cheap these days. I remember paying over $400 for a 17″ CRT monitor not that long ago and today an awesome 23″ LCD that’s many times better can be had for less than $200. But such a low price does not include a height […]
Freezing Kale, Ugly Food & Spicy Bar
The weather is dreary, wet, windy and cold. Winter is definitely here. Despite that, the kale in our garden is flourishing with new leaves that I don’t want to lose to Jack Frost, so I have been harvesting frequently. Kale is a regular in my smoothies, so I tried freezing the leaves to have a […]
Chocolate Peppermint Hemp Milk
TGIF! Back in my non-vegan days, I used to look forward decadent coffee creamers over the holidays like Coffee-Mate’s Peppermint Mocha to turn my morning coffee into a seasonal dessert. Of all the flavors, peppermint was my favorite reminding me of peppermint stick ice cream and swiping candy canes from the family Christmas tree as […]
