Thankfully this has been a much better week at work and in general. No windshield cracks and I got most of my Christmas shopping done. With that stress out of the way, I’m really starting to feel festive while enjoying our tree. And cuddling up with a sweet hubby and pets on a chilly night. […]
Curry Sweet Potato Fries
Another weekend gone, wow. Unlike last weekend, this one was much more relaxing with not much on the agenda. We caught up on house work, took long dog walks, had a fabulous dinner out last night, and saw Pitch Perfect today which was actually a great movie, lots of funny and projectile vomit for a […]
Wasabi Sweet Potato Fries
Awhile back I splurged on a pricy item at Whole Foods, actual wasabi powder and it wasn’t cheap! Since the real stuff is expensive to produce, most of the wasabi in the US is actually a blend of horseradish and mustard. That’s not a bad thing, but I wanted to see if the real stuff […]
Green Protein Socca
While our little Napa getaway was fun, it’s nice to get back home and relax with two annoyed dogs that we left them for a few days. And we had a lot of make up play time with Miko which he reminded us of constantly shoving his toy in our faces. And turning to my […]
Tempeh Tots
It’s only Tuesday and the week is already filled with ups and downs! A downer is work has been nuts still, so much going on with system upgrades, start ups, etc. I’m glad to be busy and it makes the day fly by, but it’s draining when our department is shorthanded. And then there was […]
Hemp Spinach Soup
When I’m flying solo for dinner, I’m usually not sitting at the table alone. Shadow sits and pouts in hubby’s seat starring at me as if asking what I did with his favorite guy. I try to convince Shadow he’ll be home shortly, but he just stares at me with that worried and sad look. […]
Ginger Hemp Dolmas
Smokey has a rough life, can’t you tell? It’s hard not feeling relaxed just looking at her. Gotta respect a cat that has no problem letting it all hang out and enjoying simple pleasures in life like cheap Ikea mats and sunlight. She inspired me to focus on simple pleasures for dinner like my favorite […]
Spinach & Tempeh Bacon Fry
Whew, what a long day! But a great day despite nonstop rain and 6 hours of driving. Details tomorrow since I have over 200 pictures to go through and too relaxed after a glass of wine to do so. In the meantime, how about a wonderful bacon tempeh recipe? I’ve always wanted to try Lightlife’s […]
Creamy Hemp Seed Casserole
Remember this show? I actually wore my hair in a mess of scrunchies like that in junior high and they looked ridiculous in my fuzzy curly hair! But I adored this show, Mayim Bialik was one my idols for being able to pull off such daring fashion – I mean a skirt made out of […]
More Kabocha & Using Leftovers
What a week! Work has been so busy, which I guess I should be thankful for, but have been feeling the need just to catch my breath lately. And catch up on housework with about 52 loads of laundry to do and some aggressive de-cluttering. I’ve been spending too much time playing on the weekends […]
