Sigh, back to the grind tomorrow after such a fun Thanksgiving week and more unpacking and laundry today. We were is Oxnard for Thanksgiving visiting my dad, it’s a lovely area on the beach in Southern California. The high was 80 degrees and our hotel had a pool and hot tub we lounged at for […]
Holiday Road
Happy Thanksgiving! We’re in Oxnard, CA visiting my dad and planning to have Thanksgiving on his boat. Lots of people crammed on a boat trying to prepare food in a tiny kitchen, should be fun! :-P Luckily there’s a Whole Foods near our hotel where I picked up a Tofurkey Vegan Roast, vegan gravy, and […]
Butternut Sage Soup
Ready for Thanksgiving yet? I’m not and really do not have a menu yet since we’ll be at a family members house. It will probably be a Trader Joe’s or Tofurky vegan roast with a couple of vegan sides, we’ll see! But it’s kind of nice to not stress about it this year, no crazy […]
Citrus Tahini Dressing
It has been chilly, overcast, and rainy this weekend. So the dogs have either been in my lap or in front of the fireplace. Rough life, huh? One great thing about winter here is our little tangerine tree explodes with tangerines. And they’re all starting to get ripe, woohoo! I used one in this simple […]
Winter Squash & Random
Sorry, but this will be a pretty random post because it’s been a crazy week. Work is not slowing down and things always seem a little chaotic and crazy in November anyway, right? There’s preparing for Thanksgiving while reminders are everywhere that Christmas is just around the corner. Shopping and traffic around here already seem […]
Tahini Beet Dressing
It’s actually getting chilly here with temps in the 30s and Smokey is not complaining since she gets to watch a lot of her favorite show. Miko is though, he’s not a fan of cold or rain and gets a little pouty when he can’t have warm lap time. We got a bunch of golden […]
Simple Gooey Curry Dressing
I am back home from the tech conference in the bay area and it is so nice to be back! We left at about 3:30pm on Friday to start the drive home and I got home around 6:30pm after dropping off my co-worker. Can’t complain about that when we were expecting traffic to be much […]
On the Road
Whew, the last few days have been a whirlwind! But not bad and filled with interesting eats. I’m in the bay area for a few days attending a tech conference for work with a co-worker and it’s been an interesting experience so far! I’ll back up to lunch yesterday before we left because it was […]
Vegan Burger & Soup
It’s shaping up to be a crazy week month too. My boss announced that a co-worker and I will be spending a couple of days at a tech conference in the bay area this week which is great I guess, but a little more warning would have been nice! It was a scramble confirming the […]
New Vitamins & Random
Happy weekend, so glad it’s finally here after this week at work – ugh! Keep hoping things settle down there soon because days are leaving me feeling mentally fried lately which isn’t great for getting creative in the kitchen after work. I was feeling inspired leaving for work yesterday when I saw the morning sun […]
