Oh my goodness, this week and crazy heat wave are almost over! Today was the record temp finale for this scary weather and I felt it even working out at the gym. The last part of my treadmill run degraded into more walking intervals and a slower pace because allergies and the heat started getting […]
Better Thousand Island Dressing
I am ready for Friday after this week and I think Leela is too since she’s been getting antibiotic doses twice daily to prepare for her teeth cleaning next week. Sweet Miko always shows up for her medicine time too to make sure she’s okay. This salad dressing could be considered a medicine too because […]
Summery Lemon Dressing
June is here and wow, still processing that. Leela is not sure she’s ready for walks in triple digit heat. Summer also means loads of watermelon, fresh salads, and cooling smoothies. This summery dressing is bright and cooling with a poppy and tangy lemon flavor. Many lemon dressing recipes use sugar, salt, and oil for […]
Summer Dijon Dressing
Happy virtual Friday to me because I am taking tomorrow off! Okay, mainly to get adult stuff done before the holiday weekend running errands, having car maintenance done, and taking this sweet girl to the vet. She needs another teeth cleaning and I hope that’s still an option at her age of 13 and for some […]
Sweet Curry Dressing
Miko has decided he’s not a fan of alfalfa spouts, he was not eager to clean the floor when I dropped some making a huge salad. So he shared carrots with us instead which I used in this fun and sweet curry dressing. I’ve made curry tahini dressings in the past, but this one is […]
Garlic Avocado Sauce or Dressing
I am curious and hopeful about the benefits of garlic, specifically raw garlic. The platelet and cardiac benefits outlined by Dr. Greger here are very attractive for long term health. Not only is it great for the heart and blood flow, it also fights cancer. But raw garlic is strong, very strong. This simple avocado […]
Sriracha Peanut Dressing
I pretty much love any sort of nut or seed butter based dressing, tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, and sunflower butter are all awesome in dressings. As long as the dressings aren’t too heavy or rich and that’s what I found looking for a good spicy peanut dressing, many dressings called for 1/2 cup or […]
Smoky Peppercorn Dressing
We’re trying the dog beds with built in cuddle hoods again because the blanket chaos with the chihuahua beds is getting a little crazy. Leela is still not sure she likes this or has not figured this concept out even though she has no problems burrowing into blankets. I’m not giving up, eventually she’ll embrace these, […]
Hemp Heart Alfredo Dressing
We have been getting lots of rain and wild storms the last few days, the beautiful views of the clouds from our backyard have been breath taking. Rainbows and sunshine rain at the same time – such a gorgeous show from nature. And I am feeling better, working on more deep breathing, meditating, and listening […]
Smokey and Light Cheezy Sauce
Leela and I seem to be on the same page this week – we’d prefer hiding in soft, warm blankets all day. Only she actually gets to do it. Rough life. That’s okay, I get to enjoy this creamy, savory, and smokey cheezy sauce. There are tons of vegan cheese sauce recipes out there, so […]
