When we first got back from our week long cruise vacation, Smokey was not happy with us. She was right at the door as soon as we opened it with suitcases in hand to yell at us for not being home for a week. And it continued most of the next day with her following us […]
Spicy Ginger Peanut Dressing
Good news, Friday is almost here! And it actually got a little cool here and rained this week! Not a lot, this is California, but it was something. And I had to giggle at all the women at work wearing high boots because it actually got down to the 70s. It’s still too hot for […]
Creamy Zucchini Basil Sauce
Did I mention the chihuahuas love simply steamed spaghetti squash? Especially mixed with V-Dog Kibble. Every time I steam one from our garden, I have to share and they really go gaga for it! Thankfully it’s good for dogs too, low calorie, nutrient-dense, wet fiber is good for everyone. And spaghetti squashes are an easy […]
Pumpkin Seed Pesto
I am still working through a lot of spaghetti squash from our garden and must plant more next year since it seems to be a top producer! That’s great for the chihuahuas, they both love simply steamed spaghetti squash added to their dinner bowls. But last night I was drawing a blank on what to do with […]
Simple Tangy Avocado Dressing
Thursdays can be tough during a busy week sometimes feeling like I just need to make it to Friday, especially before a 3 day weekend – woohoo! It’s not tough for Smokey, everyday is a weekend day for her basking in the sunshine or snuggling in her favorite couch blanket all day. The chihuahuas find […]
Super Cheesy Hemp Sauce
Happy Tuesday, hope your week is going good! I’m feeling energized after a good workout at the gym and recovering from Sunday’s 9-mile run. I’d like to be one of those runners who can just run lots of miles all the time, multiple marathons a year and tons of energy. I’m starting small tackling longer runs on […]
Crazy Carrot Miso Dressing
Leela is getting a little demanding lately letting me know when it’s her play time, walk time, and meal time. I can’t blame her, I feel like there is not enough time for everything I want to do this week. But Friday is getting closer and I did create a fun new version of my […]
Raw Creamy Italian Dressing
I am ready for the weekend. I’m ready to finish the laundry and cleaning from our camping trip and enjoy a little down time. So are the pups, Miko is ready for more play time. Leela is ready for more walks and to play more of her game refuse-to-look-at-the-camera. I’ve been enjoying a lot of salads, […]
Simple Creamy Dill Dressing
Smokey has been enjoying sunbathing time in the summer heat. And attacking hubby through the curtains for a little play time. Sounds like the life to me, I’d happily trade the last two days at work for it! No lazy summer days for us lately, but I’m celebrating what’s left of summer with another simple summery […]
Smokey Cheddar Dressing
Friday is almost here, whew! We’ve been busy with work and home projects here lately and Miko gets frustrated when hubby isn’t paying enough attention to him. He climbs around his lap and does cute little stretching tail-wagging antics to get his attention. And I’m back at it with large meal salads in our hotter […]
