After a busy day at work yesterday, I came home to a fun surprise from hubby – early Christmas! A cute little Christmas tree with two similar sized gifts for each of us. And inside was…. A new iPad Air! I’m so excited because this is my first iPad! I use a work iPad for […]
Cinnamon Maple Dessert Balls
It’s been a relaxing weekend so far here with a little lap cuddle time while I catch up on Breaking Bad. A huge kale salad from Whole Foods with home made smokey avocado rosemary dressing. Stepping out to see Captain Phillips. And what a great movie. I was hesitant to see it because the trailers […]
Sage Butternut Soup
It’s nice to enjoy a little down time sipping wine after a busy day at work and running to the gym. Skipper agrees, he’s always up for a little down time. He loves froggy napping, he’ll crash into that position as soon as we get back from a long walk. I love simple raw meals […]
Cinnamon Crazy
Where did this weekend go? Oh yeah, it was spent doing lots of fun stuff and eating. Yesterday we had a huge birthday party for my niece with tons of family and friends, it was a packed house. My sweet mom made a huge batch of seasoned olive romaine salad using the recipe from Peas […]
Curried Apple Soup
We’re really starting to embrace fall here, the chihuahuas have started burrowing into blankets for the cooler weather. Miko was so comfy in his pink blanket, he dragged it away from his bed when it was time to go outside. Skipper has been embracing relax time wedging himself into pillows. And chihuahua beds. I’m embracing […]
Hurried Hemp Seed Cheesy Sauce
With such a full house here, there are a lot of sweet faces that want attention when I get home from work. Leela loves her cuddle time while this little guy is ready to chase his toy for hours. And Skipper just likes to hang out with us usually at hubby’s feet while we’re watching […]
Mock Pumpkin Pie Soup
Fall is really in the air here and I love it. I love what the leaves on our trees are doing. I want to go on a hike or bike ride this weekend collecting fall leaves. And maybe visit a pumpkin farm. And enjoy more of the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! Yeah, I’m ready for […]
Curry Zucchini Soup
Yesterday was a long, but fun day. It was National Plug In Day, a holiday to celebrate electric vehicles, and I volunteered with SacEV at a big celebration event at the Folsom Outlets. It was an all day event and I was scheduled for the second part of the day to show cars, answer questions, […]
Creamy Pesto Quinoa
It’s been a good weekend so far, productive and catching up on stuff around the house. Skipper’s vet appointment yesterday went okay, his blood sugar is still too high so his insulin dose has been increased and he goes back for another follow up next week. Giving him his insulin shots is getting tough, he’s […]
Savory Dijon Dressing
I’m glad it’s a short work week, but I still feel like I’m getting my bump of direction after the long and full weekend. I was slightly cranky today after not getting a great night’s sleep for some reason. Hopefully I’ll make up for it tonight. Last week I impulsed purchased a new flavor of […]
