December can be a tough month and even tougher this year I think with stress and feelings of blah. Having a crappy run at the gym tonight did not help, it was a bonk since I’m still getting rid of chest cold remnants. But still I’m glad I got it in and I think it helped open […]
New V-Dog Products for the list
It’s hard not to feel a bit of the Sunday blues looking at a full work week ahead after 4 days off and lots of family fun, but getting a Christmas tree today and decorating helped while watching Prancer. I got some new products from V-Dog this week – Mini Bites Kibble for smaller dogs […]
Creamy Cilantro Dressing & Hazelnut Treat
Like me, the pups are tired of politics and have been acting a little rattled all evening. I think even Smokey is a little clingy following hubby and I around. I’m choosing to focus on vibrant salads instead because gorgeous, fresh veggies always makes things better. Especially when coated with a kicky and creamy tahini […]
New Hummus Dressing & Fall Treats
I’m sad the last watermelon I picked up was pretty flavorless and weak, I guess I should be thankful I can still buy them in October. But it’s time to focus on winter squash – glorious winter squash and lots of it! I can see going through 3 squashes a week just by myself and […]
October Needs to Chill
Usually October is one of my favorite months, cooling temps, pumpkins, holidays to look forward to, turning leaves – what’s not to love? But this year we got off to a bad start between scary family health problems, urgent road trips, work stress, missing a half marathon, and blah! I will say that long runs […]
Going the Distance for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! It is nice to relax a bit, I’m feeling more caught up and chilled after a busy couple of weeks. Friday night hubby and I stepped out for spicy Thai vegan comfort food – I just adore this simple cashew tofu stir fry. I’m getting more into the fall spirit and have been […]
Easy , Whole Food Eats
Happy almost Friday! I’m ready for some downtime this weekend after our whirlwind trip. I still feel like I’m catching up on sleep, laundry, etc. from it and have not had much recipe experimenting time. But I did try this treat I scored at Grocery Outlet – Parsnip Chipotle Lime Cilantro Snip Chips. Crunchy with a […]
New Smoothie Mix & Hydration Pack for the List
Hello and happy Sunday! It’s nice to relax a bit after getting out early on a 12 mile run this morning! But I need to find some more energy to take the pups for a walk soon, they are giving me the stink eye. Yesterday they were happy to share the fresh and warm blanket […]
Classy Vegan Wallet & Light Spicy Peanut Dressing
Last week I got a fabulous surprise from Corature on Instagram, I had won a giveaway for any product on their site! It was such a fun treat in the middle of a hectic week and picking just one product was not easy! I ended up going with the Cork Clutch Purse Wristlet in Orange because I […]
Easy One Pot Meals
Smokey had the right idea Sunday, snuggle up on the couch all day. I was tempted after my long run and long week! But laundry and house work called and so did these World Peas BBQ Fava Crisps for an afternoon snack. I wasn’t sure what to expect – can fava beans make a good […]
