Formerly The Raw Project - Running on a Healthy Vegan Diet
Leela is still adjusting to the new bed arrangement where I removed the pile of messy blankets and replaced with their cozy cave beds in front of the fireplace, she’s been cuddling up to hubby trying to get her blankets back. I might cave and put the blankets back, but it nice having less bedding to […]
Miko has his favorite toy back, all is right in the world. Leela is not so much into toys, but she has been into raw broccoli lately and comes running to the kitchen as soon as I start chopping it. I’ve mentioned this chopper before, but the Zyliss Easy Pull Chopper is just awesome for […]
Hubby surprised me with an early Valentine’s Day gift – an AeroGarden! We had fun setting it up yesterday and starting kale and herb planter pods in it, so I will be reporting a lot more on it when we start seriously growing stuff. First impressions: Wow, it’s high tech with a touch screen display, […]
The pups are a little annoyed with me and the weather, it’s been windy and raining the last two days. That’s great, we need it in California! But even Leela won’t step outside when wind gusts rush inside as soon as I open the door. Thankfully we get a break in the rain tonight and […]
I think Leela is preparing for winter because she has had quite the appetite lately begging as much as Miko and even running over to Miko’s dinner bowl to eat the rest of his V-Dog when he steps away. So innocent. She is the master of weight control, she’s always the exact same weight for her annual checkups […]
I have an interesting relationship with Brussels sprouts, I know they’re amazing nutritional powerhouses. But not easy to enjoy raw even pureed into smoothies and soups with their strong flavor and digestive challenges. Even Sheldon gave up on them on The Big Bang Theory. Cooking helps, but many cooking methods involve lots of oil and/or […]
It’s been a busy week here and poor Miko has been pouting about us not spending enough time with him, he cuddles up to hubby on the couch while giving me the stink eye while I’m running around cleaning, preparing food in the kitchen, etc. Going to work all day is important for buying them […]
Happy Tuesday! Okay, I know, but at least it’s not Monday. Trying to come up with a hearty, healthy, and creative dinner after a long day is challenging to say the least. I wrote this recipe on a whim to create a simple, one pot meal and was barely feeling throwing it together after my […]
Cool things are happening in our backyard like figs getting ripe. I barely got any figs from our fig tree last year because it was so little, there weren’t enough leaves to hide the ripe figs from the birds. But it’s bigger with more leaves this year so I’m hoping to get more! And one of our […]
We’ve been getting a lot of rain this weekend and that’s good and so are the cool looking clouds. Miko does not agree, he and Leela are getting a little frustrated and bored. I’ve been catching up on a lot of cleaning and a little experimenting in the kitchen. Last week I scored a huge […]
