It has been a wild few days here with heavy rain and winds. Not complaining, California always needs it! But we have two very unhappy chihuahuas who refuse to go outside. Even our covered porch is a wind tunnel that Miko refuses. Crazy winter weather calls for steaming bowls of chili and hubby is amazing […]
Simple Dressings for a Fresh Start
It has been a busy week here catching up after the holidays I think and a rainy week. I got caught in a gorgeous sunny downpour leaving work and had to snap a pic even though I was getting drenched. The pups have been very frustrated with the weather and not going on evening walks […]
Citrus Ginger Dressing
Happy New Year! Going back to work today was tough, but also nice after a few lazy days to get back into the routine. The pups are still very satisfied with their fireplace routine during the cold mornings and evenings. New Year’s Eve was pretty laid back for us, hubby made a great dinner using […]
Brazil Nut Dressing & Gift Guide
Whew, it’s been another crazy week here and it feels like time is flying and Christmas will be here like tomorrow! The pups aren’t stressing, they’re enjoying the fireplace fully relaxed. Miko leaves his toy in front of the fire a lot to warm it up. This time of year can bring on a lot […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
Sweet Curry Sauce
This week has been about using stuff up in the freezer and pantry because things were starting to get a little crazy just trying to close the freezer and find stuff in the pantry. I have a stash of Amy’s frozen meals I tend to buy when they’re on sale and enjoyed the Black Bean […]
Better Mediterranean Dressing
Aw Wednesday, Friday would be better and sweet Miko agrees because he has been ready to play every evening. It’s been an interesting week so I really treated myself with this salad with olives, hearts of palm, chickpeas, and corn. And such a blend calls for a kicky Mediterranean dressing that isn’t loaded with oil, […]
Fun Peanut Dressing
Miko loves his Lambchop toys so much I have to buy them in 3-packs to have backups on hand when one gets destroyed or is in the wash. He has a basket full of them that he loves to dig through and pick one for our evening toy throwing session. I dug out an ingredient […]
Creamy Southwest Dressing
I got giddy when I saw plain Forager Dairy-free Cashewgurt on sale and grabbed two of them without having any clue what I’d do with them. Yeah, I’m terrible with impulse grocery shopping lately, new plant based products are just so exciting. I used one in a smoothie with chocolate protein power and frozen banana […]
Simple Summery Dressing
Happy Wednesday! I know, Friday would be better and it’s getting closer. I have been trying to mix up the variety of food we feed the pups so they get a variety of nutrients too. I’ve always been a fan of V-Dog Kibble and get regular shipments of it and V-Dog Wiggle Biscuits. I’ll rotate […]
