TGIF! Especially for me since I’m taking today off for a 4 day weekend and having a relaxing morning at home drinking coffee and enjoying the foggy, drizzly weather. I actually like this weather, it’s peaceful, pretty, and a great excuse to park it in front of the fireplace like Miko. Or in front of […]
Tahini Ginger Dressing & A Hearty Burger
Leela is happy for now, she claimed her cozy fireplace bed back from Smokey. And Miko has been eagerly waiting for more play time following me around the house. And I’m working with another new NuNaturals product for this salad dressing recipe – NuNaturals NuStevia Simple Syrup. This is a simple syrup, it only has […]
Mint Cocoa Smoothie & Summer Dressing
Happy, relaxing weekend! Well maybe not for Leela. She’s pouting about Smokey discovering her favorite bed by the fireplace and hogging it. Looks like we need to pick up another bed! I’ve been enjoying decadent chocolate mint smoothies the last few days thanks to NuNaturals NuStevia Cocoa Mint Syrup. I should probably be coming up […]
Creamy Avocado Rosemary Salad
Friday is almost here. Today was another crazy day, but I’m doing much better after a great workout at the gym and a glass of wine. Still thinking about taking a few days off from work after working through the holidays. I’m craving a little down time to tackle a few projects at home and […]
Warming Balsamic Dressing
Tuesday … well at least it’s no longer Monday. Everyone is back from vacation at work this week, but things are not slowing down and I’m thinking I need to take a few days off! Maybe hang around the house and look pretty like Smokey. Or take the pups for long walks, Leela is always […]
Weekend Random
This has been a relaxing, casual weekend where I caught up on stuff around the house and worked a little on my goals for 2015. So this will be a bit of a random post. It was especially relaxing for the pups, they kept warm by the fire while Smokey took in her favorite show. […]
New Year’s Eve and Cacao Book
Happy New Year! The pups celebrated by enjoying their new beds by the fireplace. And we celebrated by going to a Vegan Soul Soirée hosted by the Sacramento Vegetarian Society with an amazing menu and book signing by Joshua Ploeg, The Traveling Vegan Chef. The event was held at an interesting rustic riverside cabin\campground because […]
Creamy Garlic Carrot Dressing
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, wow. The last two weeks have been a bit of a blur, can’t believe the year is almost over. At the same time, I’m ready for 2015 because 2014 was a little rocky and sad loosing Skipper. Then Shadow. We miss them both and still get sad. But I did […]
Citrus Walnut Dressing
Still recovering from the holidays and crazy times at work here, I’ve been on call over Christmas and the weekend and it’s been busy with end of the year stuff! Looking forward to a little relaxing next week with the New Year’s time off. Leela is still looking a little tweaked, I think the holiday […]
Scenes from Christmas
Whew, Christmas was a fun whirlwind of visiting family, opening gifts, and eating too much amazing food. I managed to take 175 pictures using and testing out new lenses for my camera, here are just a few. Christmas Eve was a simple and fun dinner of lentil vegan tacos at my sister’s house, we sautéed […]
