Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have a busy day planned with a long run then a volunteer shift at an Earth Day event which should be fun! I am looking forward to fun social time with friends in the local vegan and vegetarian societies because I’ve been in a bit […]
Easy Shopping and Eating
We had some chihuahua drama last night when Miko left is teddy bear on Leela’s favorite bed. Leela does not like anyone disturbing her nap time, especially bouncy, playful Miko. He wanted his teddy bear, but did not want to suffer the Leela wrath and pouted at me until I caved and grabbed his toy for him. […]
Creamy Ginger Garlic Dressing
When I went vegan … wow, over 6 years ago now, I thought seafood was going to be the toughest to give up. But jeez, watch some of these disturbing seafood videos on NutritionFacts.org and it’s not so hard! Especially when vegan alternatives keep getting more amazing. Hubby was a crab cake fan before going […]
Weekend List with Simple Eats
Happy Sunday! Look at the cute little tomato plants in our AeroGarden after a week! They’re sprouting a couple of days ahead of schedule. And watermelon is showing up in grocery stores here at reasonable prices finally which makes Miko and I very happy! I took both pups for a long walk yesterday to visit […]
Golden Beet Tahini Dressing
I caved and gave Leela a blanket back for her bed and it’s not working out too well. Every time she leaves the bed, she drags her blanket away and sometimes to the other side of the house. Then pouts at me until I put it back on her bed so she can burrow into […]
2016 Run Rocklin Half Marathon
Sunday morning I got up early for my third half marathon in a month. Spring is a great time of year for local races in the Sacramento area making it easy to train for one and keep the the momentum going with races just about every weekend. I saw a lot of the same runners at all three […]
Sushi and Life for the Weekend List
Whew, it is nice to sit down a minute! I did another half marathon this morning and it was much more hilly with the first 5 miles climbing a steep hill. I will be posting that race story soon after I go through all the pics. But first other stuff from the week! It started […]
Running and Celebrating
Friday is almost here, woohoo! It’s been a wacky week month two months. Sunday I drove to a nearby hilly trail for a change of scenery for a long run and the weather was perfect. I only saw one snake and it wasn’t a rattlesnake. And the rest of the scenery was gorgeous with blue skies […]
Cilantro Quinoa & Lentils
Leela is still adjusting to the new bed arrangement where I removed the pile of messy blankets and replaced with their cozy cave beds in front of the fireplace, she’s been cuddling up to hubby trying to get her blankets back. I might cave and put the blankets back, but it nice having less bedding to […]
Packing for the Weekend List
Good morning and happy Sunday! It’s been a busy, but productive weekend here so far. We spent a couple of hours sterilizing the house and catching up on chores after a busy week and poor hubby being sick. But feels great to have that under control and I have a huge load in the garage […]
