I’m here, but it was nice to disconnect a little after a crazy week and catch up on house stuff. There is a lot going in at work, enough that our department is facing burnout. And I had some family drama this week that left me feeling a little drained and not creative in the […]
Another Potluck for WIAW
It’s Wednesday, so happy What I Ate Wednesday! I had my usual smoothie to go for breakfast which consisted of a scoop of Garden Of Life’s Plain Raw Protein powder, a banana, an orange, chunk of fresh ginger and beet, carrots, kale, and cinnamon. For lunch I went to a work baby shower/pot luck that […]
Birthday Eats
Getting back into the grind on a Monday is tough after such a fun weekend! Sigh. But I’m also glad to be back to normal, healthy eating after a lot of decadent eating. All this weekend we celebrated a big birthday for hubby starting with a movie and nice dinner out Friday. Saturday we headed […]
New Mushroom & Birthday Fun
Happy Saturday! We’ve been in celebration mode for hubby’s birthday this weekend, so this will be a random, all-over-the-place post. I took yesterday off work to make it a 3 day weekend of fun and relaxation and had a nice workout in our home gym while Skipper snoozed on his favorite pillow bed. Shhhh, don’t […]
Fast Times for WIAW
It’s been awhile, so I figured it’s time to participate in What I Ate Wednesday! I started the morning with 2 cups of coffee with almond milk and NuNaturals powdered stevia while I flipped through Peas and Thank You for recipe inspiration for hubby’s birthday celebration this weekend. Mornings tend to be a little hectic […]
Kale Apple Soup
Every evening here is a dinner eating competition between Skipper and Miko, who can finish their bowl of V-Dog fastest? And move on to each others bowl to clean anything that was left behind. Then hang out in the kitchen and beg while we’re making dinner. We have routines in this house! I had a […]
Banana Beet Dressing
TGIF! The pups agree, but they’re getting a little tired of all the rain we’ve been getting. I’m not, bring it! We need more! But I don’t need any more beets, I’m still working through the huge bunch we got in the last farm box even after adding chunks to smoothies every morning this […]
Curried Quinoa & Broccoli
I’ve been a little obsessed with this refrigerated package of simply pre-cooked lentils from Trader Joe’s. For a few dollars, it has 5 large servings that are ready for soups, salads, or any other fast weeknight creation. And it comes in a packed loaf that’s easy to slice into servings and break apart. Last night […]
Broccoli Banana Soup
Whoa, it’s Sunday already? Where did the weekend go? It’s been a great, but busy weekend here. I did get a little down time to enjoy the backyard and start a little yard work. And we got a visit from our neighbor’s sweet kitty. Who is enjoying the long grass in our backyard now. The […]
Dilly Beet Dressing
I am ready for this week to end, work has been crazy still and I’m looking forward to a little fun. But coming home to a sweet hubby and dogs after a long day is always nice. Miko is so sweet that he refuses to go potty outside until he gets to greet me, he […]
