The summer heat has been brutal this week, 110 degrees was the high while we were running errands at 4 PM today according to hubby’s car and it felt like it. I’ve been lugging lots of bottles of ice water with me and spent most of today inside catching up on housework while getting the […]
Chilled Comfort Food
The heat is getting a little crazy here this week, multiple days of triple-digits. And it seems to be getting to this guy! He wanders the halls meowing from boredom I guess, or anger that Miko cleaned his food bowl again. Or he tears around the house like a mad man for no apparent reason. […]
Fun with a Julienne Peeler
Another weekend went by way too fast, mentally prepping myself for another work week is more challenging than usual after a crazy week. But I’m trying to be optimistic, this week could be much better – right? I caught up on about 6 loads of laundry today getting ready for the week, including washing the […]
Cucumber Hemp Soup
Yesterday was a nightmare, I felt like I got shot in the stomach most if the day and still recovering today. After a lengthy doctor’s appointment, turns out I had a bladder infection that was starting to wreak havoc on my kidneys, not fun! A day into antibiotics and I’m starting to feel human again. […]
Hiking and Salad Simplicity
After a crazy week at work, we decided to escape to Table Mountain yesterday for a peaceful hike and a change of scenery. The blooming flowers were beautiful. And there were plenty of tadpoles in the streams and ponds, a very health sign for spring to me. Both hubby and I had a great time […]
Simple Brussels Sprouts & New Knives
We survived another Monday here and I’m already counting down until another relaxing weekend! Every day is a relaxing day for our pets, except when they’re fighting over who gets hubby’s lap. And hubby and I may have fought over who gets to use these beauties first. Thanks to Averie @ Averie Cooks and Big […]
VegFest
Today was an interesting day because I finally made it to VegFest, a local vegan and vegetarian festival in Sacramento. And it was very popular and crowded! Seeing so many people interested vegan and vegetarian food, demonstrations, and products was very inspiring even if a little hard to navigate my way through the crowd. There […]
Two Breakfast Kind of a Day
So nice to have a relaxing Saturday at home after a crazy week at work. I spent most of the morning parks on the sofa drinking coffee with two cuddly chihuahuas. Before making my usual pre-workout breakfast smoothie staring a new protein powder – Vanilla Plant Fusion. Since I’m not sure as a vegan how […]
Field Roast Stew
Sunday already? Wow! Sad to see this pleasantly quiet weekend end. The weather was windy, cold, and rainy most of the weekend which was a great excuse to stay home and enjoy the fireplace. Yes, Miko is passed out on the hearth with my sock that he somehow got out of the laundry hamper, sneaky […]
Tahini Kale Chips & Lazy Vegan Food
Getting back to work after a 3 day weekend is never easy, especially with freezing temps and a massive sinus headache. But I survived after a wonderfully relaxing day yesterday resting my stuffed head inside in front of the fireplace. Miko was happy to join balled up in my pink fuzzy bathrobe. Hubby got me […]
