These are interesting times which seems like an understatement. When I first started this blog, I was on a passionate mission to adopt a healthy, high raw plant based lifestyle and enjoyed spending lots of time in the kitchen experimenting with recipes and new kitchen toys. That has waned over the years and especially now […]
Spicy Peanut Pasta
July flew by too fast and I’m a little bummed it’s over, summer is going too quickly. But this summer themed recipe is not a bummer with a lighter, kicky peanut sauce and Explore Cuisine Organic Red Lentil Penne Pasta. With chopped broccoli, of course. I always must share when chopping broccoli, it’s Miko’s favorite. […]
Simple Dressing and Potluck Recipe
Hard to believe Christmas is less than a week away and I’ve been feeling like I just got to get through this week with the holiday chaos. And I have it pretty simple considering. But between work potlucks, last minute shopping, and preparing to host at our house this year, it’s been an interesting week. […]
Air Fried Edamame Wontons
As you’ve probably noticed, I like to keep many of my home eats simple and healthy with simpler blender recipes, salads, and one-pot meals. Since it’s usually just hubby and I and we play dueling chefs in the kitchen a lot cooking our own things, simple makes sense and it makes sense for sticking to […]
Savory Oatmeal with Bok Choy
When I want to try something new, I tend to order way too much of it. I decided I wanted to try adding oatmeal to smoothies and getting crazy with recipes, easy and fast recipes. So I ordered a six pack of this Nature’s Path Organic Quick Oats. Thank goodness for large pantries! I was […]
Cayenne Lemon Quinoa
Ah, Friday is almost here! I am looking forward to a more laid back and productive weekend with great weather and no races planned. Miko is ready for long walks and play time. I don’t know why it took me so long to try toasting hemp seeds because they came out great in this quinoa […]
Roasted Dill Potatoes
Apparently I have been a drag this week because these two have been stalking me around the house waiting for something exciting to happen. It’s true, I’ve been an allergy-suffering zombie ever since I ran the Parkway Half Marathon last weekend. I have never dealt with allergies like this, my eyes have been itchy and puffy […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry Sauce
Rain, rain, and more rain sums up this week! That’s cool, we need it and I can’t complain when it rains all week and we get perfect weather for the weekend. But the poor pups are not happy at all! It’s not easy coaxing them outside with 40+ MPH wind gusts, Miko would rather sit […]
Vegan Curry Yum
All is going smoothly for the pups this week, Leela has claimed her ratty old bed back and Miko patiently waiting for more play time. I am so glad Friday is almost here! It’s been a week with a lot of people in our department still out with the flu and me keeping my fingers […]
