The dry summer heat is in full swing here, we’re seeing more highs in the triple digits and it’s nice to stay inside enjoying the air conditioning during that time! Luckily the mornings and evenings are cool for runs and yard work, we just try to plan to stay inside during the worst of the […]
Spicy Peanut Dressing
At Whole Foods over the weekend, I impulse bought a quinoa starter plant to add to our garden. It looks like a weed, I would never have guessed it produces such a hearty grain. From what I’ve been reading, we’re not gonna get much from it and it will only grow about 2′ tall. But […]
Making Broccoli A Decadent Dressing Again
Hello from Austin! We arrived today for Vida Vegan Con, my first one and sadly the last one of these conferences so I’m glad to be attending! I will have a ton of posts and pics coming soon when we have faster wifi. Before we left, I was getting the pouty look from Miko because he […]
Creamy Summery Garlic Dressing
I’m sad the long weekend is over and it was back to the grind today, but we have more fun planned next weekend and a short work week! Memorial Day was very low key here, my mom came over with her super energetic dog, Dasher. All three dogs instantly started competing for her attention, she could not get […]
Creamy Broccoli-Based Dressing
Miko is such a sweetie, he’s always ready for play time and/or cuddle time when I get home from work and follows me around the house. It’s hard not to feel guilty for being tired after a busy day, how do working parents do it? Smokey is happy to just hang around with us even […]
Simple and Flavor Packed Salad
Whew, Friday is almost here. It’s been a busy week, except for the chihuahuas who have been little couch potatoes. I think Leela is pouting at me for not enough walks and attention. I spent all day today at an IT conference which is always a nice break from work for learning and networking. And […]
Super Tangy and Probiotic Salad
Miko is recovering from his vet visit last week to have two teeth removed and he’s almost done with his medication which we’ll both appreciate not having to deal with pills twice a day! Leela is happy to tunnel herself into blankets this week, she’s been feeling anti social. I don’t blame her after having […]
Raw Vegan Version of a Classic
Friday is almost here, thank goodness! And Miko is thankful for zucchini scraps he gets when I break out my vegetable spiral slicer. Summer approaching means soon zucchini will be everywhere here and I’m looking forward to loading up on massively huge ones at farmer’s markets just so I can use my spiral slicer for […]
Salads Can Be Gooey and Cheesy
Miko is a little bored with me this week. I’m still feeling washed out with this cold, but it’s almost gone! Thank goodness, I’m ready after 5 days of it! Colds can cause some interesting food cravings for me, anything salty, fatty, and/or sweet which are bad options for energy crashes and feeling even more […]
Cauliflower Can Be Creamy and Delicious
It’s feeling like summer already here with lots of sunshine and making it difficult to face spending a day in the office. I’ll probably be singing a different tune when we hit triple digit heat, but for now we’re enjoying more time playing in the backyard. Miko loves racing around for his toy. Not Smokey, […]
