I think I’m mostly recovered from the weekend, woo! Saturday I crammed in an early 8-mile run on a treadmill at the gym. Crazy, right? But it wasn’t horrible because I updated my playlists. I actually like doing at least one long half-marathon training run on a treadmill because I can force myself to stick […]
Tarragon Dressing
Happy Friday! Finally! This has been an interesting week with lots going on at work and home. Our sweet Shadow is not doing well again. He’s still very skinny and having intestinal issues even though he seems to be eating and drinking a lot. He’s also been meowing a lot, screaming around the house, in […]
Simple Hemp Ginger Dressing
What a day … what a week so far and it’s only Tuesday! The last two days at work have been crazy with fires to put out, meetings, late leaving for lunch, and late leaving for the day. So much going on that I can’t seem to get 5 peaceful minutes to focus on one […]
Spinach Quinoa
Good morning! I’m up early trying to prepare myself for a 7-mile training run while tweaking my running playlists. I saw this 10-minute video on Facebook yesterday and got mesmerized watching it. Philip Wollen does an amazing job of summing up all the issues in the world related to eating meat and how illogical it […]
Broccoli Banana Soup
Even though it was a shorter week, I’m still ready for Friday tomorrow. Miko might be too, the poor guy left his favorite monkey toy in the backyard and wandered around the house brokenhearted until I let him out to go get it. He’s much happier now and I’m happy about how this raw broccoli […]
Coconut Curry Dressing
I miss the long weekend already, it was quiet and relaxing and somewhat productive. Shadow slept most of it during the days so he could run up and down the halls screaming at 2am. I spent some time studying for an IT certification exam with a happy chihuahua in my lap. And ate this simple […]
Eggplant Quinoa
The drought here is scary, lots of water conservation warnings and disturbing images of dried up rivers and lakes. We’ve put our garden plans on hold until conditions improve to conserve water, so we have a lot of dry dirt pots in our backyard with no plants. Skipper has decided they make good beds. We’ve […]
Hemp Cheddar Noodles
Fall is getting closer because spaghetti squashes are showing up in the stores. I pretty much like all squash, but these are one of my favorites just for the fun factor. I grabbed this cute little organic one over the weekend. And it inspired this new cheddar hemp sauce for a cheesy noodle squash bowl. […]
Avocado Peppercorn Dressing
Things have been pretty lazy around here lately, well, for the dogs. Miko got snugly in his office bed where it’s never too hot for a fleece blanket. And Skipper has been switching between the cool floors and chihuahua beds. Hubby and I weren’t lazy Sunday, we drove to a hilly trail for a run. […]
The Fix for Foodies & Pesto Quinoa
Yesterday I headed to Nevada City for a vegan meet up at The Fix for Foodies hosted by Kayle of Cowgirls & Collard Greens. I’ve been there before, but it’s been awhile, so I jumped at this opportunity to hang out with familiar vegan friends and meet new vegans. Nevada City is about an hour […]
