I’ve been putting it off for as long as possible, but yesterday I finally had three old fillings redone at the dentist. Glad it’s over and I’ll hopefully never have to worry about them again, but it sucked. And so did the bill. My entire mouth had to be numbed, so I had a smoothie […]
Autumn Squash Dressing
Thanks again for the kind words on Shadow, it’s been tough dealing with multiple losses this month. We’re thankful to have had the time we did with them and trying to focus on celebrating that. Miko, Leela, and Smokey have been so sweet to us as we’re dealing with everything, Miko has been extra cuddly […]
Protein Dijon Dressing
Hey, Friday is almost here! I’m ready, it’s been an odd week of drama and stress. Thank goodness for great family to talk to, a wonderful husband, and intense workouts to blow off a little steam. And we’re still kicking it here with Shadow, he’s eating and drinking. But not gaining any weight, very skinny, […]
Pumpkin Pie Salad
Whew, it’s proving to be a tough week. Skipper, our sweet diabetic senior dog that moved in with us last year, has taken a turn for the worse. Since his odd spell almost two weeks ago, he’s been having good and bad days, mostly bad days this week which is heart breaking. He’s not into […]
Cinnamon Banana Dressing
Wow, October is here already! It’s an awesome month for vegans in Northern California starting with the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge running during the entire month. Basically a bunch of restaurants create fabulous vegan menus to compete against each other for votes and anyone can try these unique dishes and vote for their favorites. It’s […]
Tomato Cheddar Dressing
I’m here and it’s been a week so far! Lots going on at work with big projects and issues. I’ll spare you the details, but I was actually looking forward to a dentist appointment today because I got to leave work early, like a mini vacation to have my teeth scraped! Hopefully things will settle […]
Tarragon Dressing
Happy Friday! Finally! This has been an interesting week with lots going on at work and home. Our sweet Shadow is not doing well again. He’s still very skinny and having intestinal issues even though he seems to be eating and drinking a lot. He’s also been meowing a lot, screaming around the house, in […]
Simple Hemp Ginger Dressing
What a day … what a week so far and it’s only Tuesday! The last two days at work have been crazy with fires to put out, meetings, late leaving for lunch, and late leaving for the day. So much going on that I can’t seem to get 5 peaceful minutes to focus on one […]
Coconut Curry Dressing
I miss the long weekend already, it was quiet and relaxing and somewhat productive. Shadow slept most of it during the days so he could run up and down the halls screaming at 2am. I spent some time studying for an IT certification exam with a happy chihuahua in my lap. And ate this simple […]
Hemp Cheddar Noodles
Fall is getting closer because spaghetti squashes are showing up in the stores. I pretty much like all squash, but these are one of my favorites just for the fun factor. I grabbed this cute little organic one over the weekend. And it inspired this new cheddar hemp sauce for a cheesy noodle squash bowl. […]
