Tomorrow is Friday and thank goodness, I’m looking forward to a little fun this weekend! Sunday I went for a lovely 6-mile run and met some new friends along the way. With the drought, it’s still goat grazing season here trying to minimize dry grass with all the wildfire warnings – scary, ugly times. But […]
Breathbones & Brazil Nut Pesto Dressing
I got adventurous this week and ordered V-dog Breathbones with our usual kibble order from V-Dog. Skipper does not always have the freshest breath and he loves to chew, so I’m always looking for vegan ways to keep him busy. I ordered the small size to try so the chihuahuas could try them too and […]
Festive Lentils and Quinoa
It has been nice to relax and tackle a little housework so far this weekend after a busy week. Skipper agrees, he’s been covering his hammock bed with more fur and dirt for us to vacuum. Poor Miko is a little bored with us, he was ready to play and play after a quiet week. […]
Simple Lentil Miso Soup
Skipper is always such a sweetie and boy does he love meal time! He got such a workout last night frantically cleaning his bowl, then Miko’s bowl, that he had to lay down and rest in the kitchen. I got a bit of a workout using my spiral slicer on a huge zucchini. I have […]
Sauerkraut & Black Bean Pasta
Skipper is ready for fall, the poor guy has been aggressively trying to stay cool in his cooling hammock bed. You’d think he’d be much cooler after how much fur he’s shed this summer! Miko, on the other hand, is happy to snuggle in a warm blanket anytime of the year. We finally tried out […]
Great Vegan Finds
I’m here and back from a little funk. It’s been a crazy week with ups and downs and I just haven’t been too inspired in the kitchen and wanting to disconnect a little. But ready to head into a new week, I hope. Friday we celebrated our wedding anniversary at Seasons 52, a classy restaurant […]
Sweet and Tangy Dressing
It’s been a challenging week and I will just leave it at that and focus on this adorable pic of Miko trying to steal a watermelon rind from me, he was not giving up! With all the events over the weekend and craziness this week, I didn’t realize that Skipper’s 1-year anniversary with us passed. […]
Vegan Wine & Cheese Mixer
Whew, what a weekend. Yesterday was a packed day of going to the gym, farmer’s market, seeing Guardians of the Galaxy (awesome!), and attended a Vegan Wine & Cheese Mixer at The Plum Cafe in Sacramento. For $15, we got to taste a lot of vegan wines and artisan vegan cheese from Miyoko Schinner. There was […]
Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup
Almost Friday, woohoo! And it’s still hot here, high of 106 degrees for the weekend. Perfect weather to go see a movie inside! It’s a problem with the dogs, we have to be very careful when we take them for walks and how long they stay in the backyard. So we’ve been doing lots of […]
Simple One Pot Broccoli Quinoa
It’s hot again, triple-digit heat all this week. And it’s getting to poor Skipper who has been crashing froggy-style all over the house. Poor old guy comes in from the evening walks and just crashes in the front hall until he has energy to make it to his cooling hammock bed. I keep reminding him […]
