We are so glad the weekend is almost here after a trying work week! Miko is looking forward to walk time in the perfect weekend weather. And I’m hoping things are quiet at work since I’m on call this weekend because they have not been this week. But I did get time to create a […]
Holiday Eats
Tuesdays are probably my least favorite day of the week. Not even halfway through the work week and it’s usually a busy work day, busy gym day, and busy on call day this week. But I had a great 3.1 mile run at the gym, felt much better than expected after running a half marathon […]
Peace-Love-Run Half & The Weekend List
Hi and Happy Easter Sunday! Easter seems oddly early this year, right? And we have absolutely no plans for it, not sure if that’s sad or awesome. But both my sisters have other plans, so we’re chilling today and may actually see a movie later after trying a vegan french toast recipe. That’s probably good […]
Cauliflower Cheesy Sauce
First thing every morning, I send the chihuahuas to the backyard to do their business and they’re still not happy about the chilly, morning air and can’t wait to come in for breakfast. And I can’t wait for the weekend! It’s been a crazy week and salads are a comfort food for me when things […]
Celebrating Vegan at Animal Place
Poor Leela has been a bit of a clingy, nervous wreck lately stalking me around the house. The rainy weather and beeping refrigerator are getting to her I think. Not for long, the new fridge has been ordered. And I need to collect food coolers from friends and family before delivery day to store food during […]
Colorful Weekend List
This weekend has been so great that I’m not ready to go back to work tomorrow. It’s been relaxing and productive. After a week of solid rain, the weed and grass growth in the yard has been insane. Literally one day, nothing, next day 3-foot-tall spiky weed is there! It was nice getting the front […]
Creamy Spirulina Dressing
I think I’m still adjusting to the time change and losing an hour on a race day last weekend because getting out of bed for work has been tough this week. But Smokey is enjoying the additional sunshine in the evenings. And, oh yeah, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and I have a green recipe for […]
2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon
It’s nice, sunny, dry, and in the 70s here today. But it wasn’t Sunday for the 2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon! My sister and I drove to Raley Field together very early in the dark, cold, wind, and rain to meet friends and our shoes got drenched just dashing through the flooded parking lot. Somehow, even with the […]
Race Stressing for the Weekend List
Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Me, well, not so much. I am really stressing about a half marathon I’m running tomorrow morning from a combination of issues. The weather is a huge factor, it has been raining, very windy, and stormy here most of this week with flooded areas. Again, great for […]
Creamy Parsley Dressing
It’s been raining pretty consistently for the last few days here which is great for California! Except not for the pups who are bored of being inside, but hate going outside. Poor Miko has been a little frustrated being stuck inside. Smokey is perfectly happy to bury herself in her favorite couch blanket in this […]
