Are you ready for Christmas? I think I am… maybe. Miko is with his new reindeer toy. Stuffing started coming out of his last toy and this little guy is heartbroken if he doesn’t have a favorite small toy to play with. So I caved and gave him one of his Christmas gifts early and […]
Sweet and Spicy Curry Dressing
Christmas is getting closer, so exciting! Smokey has been carefully checking the tree for her gift. Which will be something with catnip, she loves flinging around catnip poof balls until they all get lost under the bed or fridge. Miko is getting a new toy because his Halloween toy is getting a little gross and […]
Spicy and Cheesy
Where did the weekend go? Things just seem like a blur with Christmas next week! I’m excited and looking forward to all the fun and festivities and a few days off work, but a little scatterbrained checking off my lists and getting ready. So this post will be an interesting mesh of random. Miko is […]
Quick Cheesy Sauce
I survived my 7.5 mile leg of the CIM Relay yesterday in frigid 27 degrees, barely! When I arrived at the start of the leg, I didn’t want to leave my warm car as I watched other runners uncomfortably dash to the start in skimpy running clothes. I finally did. For the race, I layered […]
Mint Chocolate Hemp Milk
Thanksgiving is just a few days away and I still have not completed a menu. This year we’re having a very small scale Thanksgiving at our house with just my mom and a lot of dogs, so I’m not too worried about it. I’ll probably finalize my ingredient list and hit the grocery store on […]
Dijon Balsamic Dressing
It’s been a great long weekend so far with a fun filled day of shopping and eating out with my sister yesterday. But shopping all day is exhausting! We started with an early lunch at Baagan to fuel up and we both got the Chana wrap, a wrap stuffed with chana garbanzo beans, plenty of […]
Hemp Nog
It has been a crazy week at work with co-workers taking days off for Thanksgiving, on baby leave, and calling in sick. Non-stop stress and running around with too much multitasking makes work days a blur and my brain feeling mushy at the end of the day. But I’m in a great mood because I’m […]
Apple Broccoli Soup
It’s actually cold and rainy here today and Miko is not a happy camper, he’d rather snuggle up inside than go outside and do his doggy business. It takes a little extra coaxing to get him to the backyard and he usually stays under the overhang and refuses to step out into the rain. Skipper, […]
Dijon Persimmon Dressing
I adore quiet and relaxing Sunday mornings where the house is quiet and I get to sip coffee and catch up on online news while lazy dogs snuggle up near the space heater. Yesterday I had a very expensive trip to the mall that I’m not happy about, but finally had to admit I needed […]
Smokey Apple Dressing
Wow, this week has flown by with busy work days and new toy excitement with my new iPad. I’ve been spending plenty of time playing Plants vs. Zombies 2, it’s slightly addicting and even more fun on a larger screen. Skipper has been doing good, he seems to be doing better with his current insulin […]
