Hard to believe Christmas is less than a week away and I’ve been feeling like I just got to get through this week with the holiday chaos. And I have it pretty simple considering. But between work potlucks, last minute shopping, and preparing to host at our house this year, it’s been an interesting week. […]
Healthy Dijon Dressing
Miko is such a sweet and supportive buddy to Leela in her old age. He’s always near her when not in our laps, never complains when she helps herself to his dinner, and never goes after her dinner. He seems to really know she’s facing challenging times and shows her compassion, animals can be so […]
Golden Beet Tahini Dressing
I caved and gave Leela a blanket back for her bed and it’s not working out too well. Every time she leaves the bed, she drags her blanket away and sometimes to the other side of the house. Then pouts at me until I put it back on her bed so she can burrow into […]
Potluck Vanilla Chai Chia Seed Pudding
It’s still raining here and that’s okay, we still need it and have plenty of holiday cheer inside. But Miko is still not happy about the rain, he’d like more active walks and is ready to party in the evenings! I went to a work party/brunch potluck today. I know, brunch. Why brunch? An awkward […]
Spiced Chia Seed Pudding
I’m glad the weekend is finally here, it’s been a busy week. It started too early for me though, I woke up around 5 AM unable to go back to sleep with everything I need to get to this weekend turning in my head after a busy week which I hate. And that was after […]
Vegan Breakfast Quinoa
I’m actually happy that December is here already, bring on the holiday cheer! November ended roughly for me with two crazy days at work and crazy stormy weather the last 4 days now, so I’m hoping things slow down a bit for the holidays. Hubby and I started the weekend with a relaxing dinner out […]
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 […]
Simple Vegan Pancakes
Thank goodness I had yesterday off work, I needed it to catch up on laundry and housework after all the Christmas festivities. And I’m thankful to have leftovers from the festivities also, it’s nice having a little break from kitchen cleaning! I re-mixed the raw vegan nut loaf from Christmas Eve by crumpling it on […]
Banana Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Good news, my kitchen is finally restocked! Well, I’m excited about that. Hubby and I braved the weird, rainy and cold weather to load up at Whole Foods today. $150 later, I should be good for a while. :-) And it’s been a wonderfully relaxing weekend so far, I slept in, had a lazy breakfast […]
Apple Cinnamon Chia Seed Pudding
What a wonderful weekend so far, we’ve accomplished a lot at home, relaxed, and got in a little shopping. Today I’ve been buzzing around the house, tackling laundry, and getting some play time in the kitchen. As much as I love my smoothies for a fast, well round breakfast on work mornings, I’ve been playing […]
