Miko is not sure about competing with hubby’s latest craze – Farm Heroes Saga. Apparently it’s like Candy Crush with a different twist and I’ve avoided installing Farm Heroes since I’m frustratedly stuck in Candy Crush. After Sunday’s half marathon, I was feeling a little wiped last night… and sore. So it was such a […]
Curried Tomatoes and Quinoa
I really hate the lack of pockets in women’s clothes in general, but especially women’s running clothes. Thanks to my job, I usually have two and sometimes three smartphones with no pocket options for carrying them. Guys can run in baggy shorts with huge pockets, but we’re lucky if women’s running leggings or skimpy shorts […]
Simple Tofu Soup
I am sooooo glad tomorrow is Friday and it’s a 3-day romantic Valentine’s weekend because it’s been a long and exhausting week with loads going on at work and me dragging a little from stress. It hasn’t been a stressful week for Skipper, he’s been having a blast. It’s become a ritual for him to […]
Simple Quinoa Chili
I have a confession to make about football. Well maybe it’s not quite that extreme, I do enjoy games a little bit sometimes. Still the Superbowl is sort of like this for me. Because I work with a lot of football crazy co-workers and listen to some passionate and angry debates about this player’s performance, […]
Balsamic Beet Quinoa
Thank goodness Friday is almost here! Leela agrees, she has been extra cranky this week around the other two dogs, especially when they get near her food or comfy bed. We’ve had Skipper for, wow, almost 6 months now and Leela is still not happy to have him around growling and barking when he gets […]
Moroccan Quinoa
So far it’s been a relaxing weekend here which is nice after a busy week. I got pet beds washed, organized and did some catching up on paperwork in our office, took the dogs for a long walk, completed a few recipes, laundry, kitchen cleaning, had an extended workout at the gym, played Plants vs. […]
Dijon Asparagus & Quinoa
On Thursday I went to another vegan meetup at El Papagayo in Sacramento and it was a great way to continue celebrating good friends and good food after Christmas. I have never been to this gem of a restaurant before, but will be going back soon! It’s not an all vegan restaurant, but they have […]
Curried Quinoa and Raisins
It has been a looooong day here that started with dashing out of the house a 7am with a gym bag and a loaded slow cooker for our office potluck. The timing of Christmas this year is kind of tricky for recipe planning with my full time work schedule, I haven’t really been into preparing […]
Split Lentil Soup
This week is moving quickly, Wednesday already! And tonight is our last night of freezing temps for awhile and that’s alright with me. And the chihuahuas too, hopefully they’ll be more willing to go outside! Tonight they’re happy to park it by the fireplace. Skipper is happy to thoroughly check the kitchen floor for more […]
Warming Lentils and Quinoa
Things are looking more festive here now that the Christmas tree is decorated. And so is our orange tree in the backyard. It’s freezing, temps are supposed to be in the low to mid 20s tonight. Orange trees, like chihuahuas, do not like freezing temps. Luckily I still had some old-school C9 Christmas house lights […]
