Wow, Christmas is less than a week away! And I’ll be spending a good chunk of the weekend recipe planning and grocery shopping between seeing Star Wars with hubby and running. I wonder if Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods will be crowded?! It’s all good and I’m ready to enjoy low-key family gatherings because it was a […]
Easiest Lemon Hemp Dressing
Our Christmas tree is finally up and I put enough lights on it for a few trees I think! Christmas cheer is in the house too, these two have been peacefully sharing the cuddle cube bed in front of the fireplace which is rare. And lemon trees are in full bloom, I scored a huge […]
Butternut Sage Dressing
Leela has been a little antsy lately, restlessly following me around the house. And even doing her cute little meerkat pose at the dinner table for extra attention and carrot nibbles. Maybe the holiday stress is getting to her. Or maybe she can’t wait for her presents. I think she’s gonna love the new bed we got her. […]
Healthy Hemp Nog
I’m glad and sad Thanksgiving is over, I could do without the stress and rich eating. But miss the fun time with family and relaxing long weekend. And it means Christmas madness has officially begun! I have a pile of Amazon boxes waiting for me to open and wrap which will happen this weekend, maybe. […]
Kicky Ginger Sauce
Are you ready for Thanksgiving? We’re getting there and learned recently that my dad will be staying with us for a few days, so we’ve been busily turning the gym room into a makeshift guest room with an Aerobed and cleaning. Smokey didn’t want to give up her favorite blue comforter for our guest. Leela would […]
Kicky Cheesy Avocado Sauce
A tricky thing about winter is driving to work in the dark and leaving work in the dark and it’s getting closer to those days. Miko and I try to enjoy the last bit of daylight playing in the backyard when I get home while we can. As long as it’s not too cold, he […]
Tart Cherry Dressing
Monday is over! Now could Friday get here a little quicker? Miko would like that too for more play time, he’s been keeping his toys warm on the fireplace. Of all the races I’ve run, I rarely buy any race pictures. I’m not photogenic and even less so running. Or decent ones are photobombed by other […]
Cheesy Butternut Curry Sauce
With temps dropping to the 30s, hubby sweetly turned on the fireplace so winter has officially begun here! And Miko is thrilled! You can find him toasting his belly when it’s on and pouting in front of it when it’s off. And me creating recipes with winter squash. This Vegan Curried Pumpkin Cheese Sauce inspired […]
Simple Hemp Herb Dressing
Popping in with a quick recipe post here, it’s been a crazy week at work and I’m preparing for an upcoming training trip. Sometimes balancing blogging and everything else during a work week is challenging and I had a great talk about that with a blog reader at our Halloween party last weekend about trying […]
Creamy Parsley Spaghetti Squash
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday before a weekend filled with Halloween fun. It’s been a busy week, but Miko would like it to be busier with more play time. After our backyard toy throwing session, he parked himself in the kitchen to remind me it’s dinner time and I could share more spaghetti squash. I realize […]
