Miko is not sure about competing with hubby’s latest craze – Farm Heroes Saga. Apparently it’s like Candy Crush with a different twist and I’ve avoided installing Farm Heroes since I’m frustratedly stuck in Candy Crush. After Sunday’s half marathon, I was feeling a little wiped last night… and sore. So it was such a […]
Shamrock’n Half Marathon
Whew, what a weekend! I took on the Shamrock’n Half marathon this morning and this week leading up to it has kind of been an emotional roller coaster. I was almost not gonna sign up for this half after my experience running it in 2011 being on the morning of spring forward, odd weather, and […]
Beet Greens and Chocolate
TGIF! And thank goodness, it has been an interesting week. But the weather has been gorgeous here after all the rain and Miko is enjoying playing in the backyard. Skipper is enjoying exploring all of our new weeds I need to do something about. And kale is flourishing in our backyard after so much rain, […]
Kicky Avocado Dressing
On Sunday night, I headed to my first vegan potluck in Sacramento for a presentation by Jed Soliz of Team Veg. I played it safe taking a huge spinach meal salad with kidney beans and my avocado ranch dressing, but had a blast sampling many unique dishes other vegans brought including a curry couscous, Indian […]
Kitchen Playing
Happy Sunday, gah, it’s Sunday already?! And we lost an hour with spring forward – dirty trick! It was nice to disconnect a little bit after such a busy week at work and chill a little at home with these sweet office buddies. And catch up on house work and errands such as finally getting […]
Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup
The rain has been letting up a little, but Miko is still not happy about going into the backyard. Skipper could care less, he has no problem going outside to do his business while getting drenched. He does care about food and lots of it because this dog is always hungry, he gets breakfast, dinner, […]
Quick Dill Quinoa
Glad Monday is over, it was a crazy one at work that left me feeling a bit like mush when I got home. I would have started writing this post sooner, but mush brain here was easily distracted by LifeBuzz. Why have I not seen this site before? It’s still raining here and that’s great […]
Vegan Meetup at Mylapore
It’s been raining loads here over the last 4 days and that’s wonderful! We need it! The rain clouds were a welcome sight on our dog walk yesterday and everything is already looking so green and vibrant. Last night I headed to Folsom in the wind and rain for another vegan meetup at Mylapore Vegetarian […]
Hemp Lemon Sauce
Dog dinner time around here is always a drama fest with Skipper, our unstoppable eating machine. He cleans his bowl at warp speed and moves around the house looking to clean the other dog’s dinners. Miko has learned to hard way many times to eat fast or lose it. While Leela is frustrated with the […]
Creamy Sriracha Dressing
Things have not been letting up at work lately, still a lot going on. Shadow has not been happy about my busy schedule lately either and letting me know about it by walking all over me before bed and cruising the kitchen counters yelling at me in the mornings. Wish I could take him to […]
