Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope it’s a good day and people are celebrating love. I am celebrating protein with this recipe using a fun grocery find – Tolerant Simply Legumes Organic Green Lentil Pasta. We’re having lots of fun trying alternative, high protein pasta lately and at 21 grams of protein per serving, this pasta […]
Better Turmeric Dressing
Being blind is tough on Leela, she is not adjusting to it well especially since her hearing seems to be going too. She spends a lot of time wandering the house, bumping into walls, and looking for food. I feel like I’m wandering through this week on autopilot. One of those weeks where things are […]
Smoky Butternut Pasta Sauce
Sometimes I wonder why I try. Leela loves to burrow into blankets to stay warm especially in the winter, but that’s gotten difficult now that she’s older and blind and I worry that she’ll get cold if we’re not there to cover her with a blanket. There are pet beds that allow dogs to burrow […]
Daring Tahini Dressing
Poor Leela is feeling the challenges of going blind. We serve her dinner in a pretty hefty ceramic bowl. Somehow her little 9 lb. self stepped on the edge of the bowl just right last night to send it flying and her dinner all over the floor. Poor thing was too nervous to go back […]
Feisty Good Dressing
Miko has been a little blue the last few days, he got used to us spending more time with him for the holidays and not happy about us getting back the grind. He is so eager to play when we’re home shoving his new toy in our faces while we’re trying to watch TV. Can’t […]
Super Garlic Tahini Dressing
We’ve made it past the halfway point of the week and the holidays are getting closer. These two snuggle buddies are ready. With the holidays comes our department holiday potluck and white elephant gift trade. I have a love/hate relationship with potlucks, I tend to over stress about what to bring bordering on I want […]
Simple Sriracha Dressing
As you know, Miko loves heat this time of year and would be happy to live in front of a fireplace or space heater. Warm and comforting is good, especially for the winter! So is spicy heat, I tend to prefer spicier foods with warming flare more during the winter – hot curries, hot chili, […]
Creamy Butternut Pasta Sauce
Whew, we’ve made it this far in the week and Miko wishes I was home more for cuddle toy time on the couch. Me too! Chilly weather is all about winter squash for me, I don’t think I could ever get tired of it. Sunday I roasted a large butternut squash to use for the […]
Creamy Kale Sauce
Getting back to work this week has been tough after a long and relaxing weekend, I’m kind of glad the weekend is near. I finally got the Christmas tree up and decorated and the boxes put back away. I didn’t finish it Sunday because after I finished getting all the lights on, a fuse blew […]
Better Curry Sauce
Ready for Thanksgiving? We are, it will be simple and low-key at our house with my mom and experimenting with new recipes and products. And maybe decorating the house and getting a Christmas tree over the long weekend with lots of relaxing and another family party. Miko is ready for his play date tomorrow with […]
