I am still catching up from our fun few days in Austin last weekend for Vida Vegan Con, it was a packed weekend. Saturday, or day two, was the first actual conference day and it was a long day. Somehow, even with jet lag and all the running around Friday, I managed to get up […]
Vida Vegan Con Day 1 in Austin
I should have taken today off work too after getting home yesterday afternoon because it would have been nice to unpack, get over jet lag, clean house, sort through photos and notes, and spend time with the dogs after being gone for five days. Lesson learned! We had so much fun in Austin over the weekend, […]
The Clay Pit in Austin
Hi! Popping in with a quick post from Austin, TX, today was the final day of Vida Vegan Con and I have tons of photos and info to sort through and have been having too much fun here to do so. We just got back from the final after party where we had kale margaritas at Cheer Up Charlies and […]
Making Broccoli A Decadent Dressing Again
Hello from Austin! We arrived today for Vida Vegan Con, my first one and sadly the last one of these conferences so I’m glad to be attending! I will have a ton of posts and pics coming soon when we have faster wifi. Before we left, I was getting the pouty look from Miko because he […]
Creamy Summery Garlic Dressing
I’m sad the long weekend is over and it was back to the grind today, but we have more fun planned next weekend and a short work week! Memorial Day was very low key here, my mom came over with her super energetic dog, Dasher. All three dogs instantly started competing for her attention, she could not get […]
Weekend List with Shopping Finds
Happy Memorial Day weekend! Ah, love long weekends especially after a wacky, busy week at work with a lot of projects and covering for people while they’re on vacation. But next week is my turn to go on vacation for a little adventure! We have been working on the garden, shopping, and relaxing so far this […]
Make It An Easy One Pot
Cool things are happening in our backyard like figs getting ripe. I barely got any figs from our fig tree last year because it was so little, there weren’t enough leaves to hide the ripe figs from the birds. But it’s bigger with more leaves this year so I’m hoping to get more! And one of our […]
Creamy Broccoli-Based Dressing
Miko is such a sweetie, he’s always ready for play time and/or cuddle time when I get home from work and follows me around the house. It’s hard not to feel guilty for being tired after a busy day, how do working parents do it? Smokey is happy to just hang around with us even […]
Weekend List with Great News on Fruit
Whew, it’s been a week. Hubby was out of town on business travel which sounds like it should be relaxing having the house to myself, but it wasn’t! I usually try to take at least one day off work when he’s out of town to have a little down time with the house to myself to […]
Simple and Flavor Packed Salad
Whew, Friday is almost here. It’s been a busy week, except for the chihuahuas who have been little couch potatoes. I think Leela is pouting at me for not enough walks and attention. I spent all day today at an IT conference which is always a nice break from work for learning and networking. And […]
