It’s only Tuesday, really? Oh well, this week is feeling like a long blur. After all the holidays, fun and days off – these 5 days weeks are tough! I’m still using up plenty of leftovers from Saturday, Stacey brought over two huge containers of fresh sprouts, plus I had a ton in my fridge […]
Creamy Tomato Soup
My fridge is still jammed packed with fresh veggies and leftover ingredients from Saturday’s party, I’ve been eating a lot of chocolate mocha cake the last few days which is all right. But I’m also stocked with fresh cabbage, celery and plenty of other ingredients from the recipes we created. After 2 days of eating […]
Orange Butternut Stew
I am a fan of pomegranates, the sweet and tarty seeds remind me of snacking by the pool on lazy summer days as a kid. Days when I was relaxed, having fun and not in a hurry because eating a raw pomegranate is a time-consuming project that the adult version of me still manages to […]
Creamy Chickpea Chowder
Today I decided to skake things up for lunch, using my lunch break to make a stock-up trip to Target. Instead of one big meal, I had a snack before and a Sun Warrior smoothie after. The snack was a Kind bar and the first time I’ve tried one – Kind Plus Cranberry Almond. Usually […]
Curry Banana Stir Fry
Work has been super busy making up for the holiday down time, I am feeling a little fried and it’s only Tuesday! So much to do this week, ugh! And there are a few new viruses running amok because I spent much of the day removing them. Not opening a strange attachment from your personal […]
Southwestern Corn Stew
This has been a quiet week at work and that’s alright with me, it’s nice to enjoy a little low time before charging into the new year. Time to continue to snap away with our new camera, my poor pets. But I just love the lighting and detail of this shot, the flash on my […]
Ginger Stir Fry
Today was kind of a dirty trick weather-wise, it was sunny and crisp while not being too cold. Perfect. But I had to work all day. And now rain pretty much sums up our forecast until Christmas. Oh well, a good excuse to stay inside, enjoy the fireplace and play in the kitchen. Thankfully my […]
Curry Chickpea Stew
Well happy Monday, I hope it treated everyone well. Mine was okay, but I felt pretty scattered at work trying to get back into the grind while mentally preparing for the holidays. Monday’s aren’t typically my most productive days, so adding a layer of holiday complication did not help! Luckily I got it together by […]
Lentil Quinoa Chili
So happy this week is almost over! I’ve been on call for work and getting a lot of night calls this week and I’m feeling the lack of sleep. But enough whining, every once in awhile I get a thank you gift at work from co-workers happy to have working computers. Today I got one […]
Trying to Warm Up
Ah, Monday and after a long, relaxing weekend. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to jump out of our warm bed in the dark cold this morning and trying to get back into the grind was not easy. But I am grateful I had Black Friday off work. I worked for a small, private IT company for […]
