Is it Friday yet? Someone please say yes! Things just have not been slowing down at work, I spent most of the morning putting out fires and feeling torn in 14 directions at once. Weeks like this are tough because I come home feeling mentally drained and not too creative for dinner. Not a problem […]
Steamy Curried Lentils and Potatoes
The crazy winds from yesterday finally took a hike and I was able to pry Leela from her favorite new bed for some outdoor time. But she hurried back inside to prevent this one from taking her bed. I got in some quality kitchen time between loads of laundry and a trip to Trader Joe’s. […]
Quick Curried Lentils
There’s been a lot of relaxing going on this week with cats and dogs lounging all over the house. Life’s good when there’s a warm lap and there’s something so pleasant about coming home to these happy little buddies.. But relaxing hasn’t come easy for me this week, I think I’m still hyped from the […]
Quinoa and Kamut Berries
What a week so far! There’s still so much going on at work and getting a jury duty summons for next month and dealing with a very pricy brake repair on my car is just icing on the cake. Though jury duty might be a less stressful alternative to work, hmmm… I think being slightly […]
Kamut Berry Stew
It’s been so nice to decompress this weekend after such a crazy week. And since it was very windy and rainy most of the day yesterday, it was a great excuse to stay home with the exception of a trip to the gym and grocery shopping. Since there was no way my long run was […]
Roasted Spicy Tempeh & Cauliflower
It’s been a wacky and stressful week to say the least with so much going on at work, rain, keeping up with workouts and half marathon training, and fighting off another bug going around. I’ve been trying to stick to simple, nutrient dense meals to combat this madness, like a loaded kale salad dressed with […]
Thai Tempeh Noodles
We’re only two days into the week and I’m ready for it to end already! Shorthanded at work with tons of projects and problems, tons of rain and wind adding bad hair to my stress, and another cold/flu thing running around that I don’t want to catch – sheesh! I guess I’ve been a little […]
Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Since I had some free time in the kitchen today, I decided to get a little crazy trying a complicated recipe that I’d never attempt on a weeknight. Apparently I was making such a mess running around the kitchen manically, Leela was getting a little nervous. And Smokey, well, was not. Even hubby took one […]
Mexican Quinoa Salad
After another long day at work, I got to decompress watching this little maniac race around the house with his over-sized cow toy flopping around. And that toy gets heavy when it’s saturated with dog slobber, I know because he likes to do flying leaps onto my back with it while I’m doing plank exercises. […]
Creamy Curried Lentils
Our little dog party is over, my mom picked her chihuahua up today after giving them all a little lap time. So we’re back to having just two in the house. I think Miko is a little sad not having another male buddy around, he was pouting. It’s rough getting pushed around by bossy Leela, […]
