Happy New Year! Right? It’s been an interesting week here where Miko has been loving our extra time off for walks and cuddle time. And loving his warm blankets in front of the fireplace. Last weekend we headed to Pushkin’s for lunch where the Vegan Maitake Kale Cesar Salad is insanely delicious with artichoke hearts, […]
Bye Bye 2019 for the List
I am ready to to be done with 2019, it was an interesting year of growth and being tested. I’ve got my Green Dreamer planner ready for serious goals and fun for 2020 – new adventures, new recipes, getting out more, and conquering being a manager. Sounds good, right? How was your Christmas? Ours was […]
Christmas Ready for the List
Crazy that Christmas is a couple of days away! Ready? I think I am. Shopping is mostly done, food is mostly planned, and I am looking forward to a few days off work. This has been a busy week with work and holiday parties, but eats at home have not been that crazy with a […]
New Eats for the List
Sunday again? Last week seems a bit like a blur with a lot going on at work which I’m not complaining about. Lots of new challenges are a good thing, right? Last Sunday we went out with friends to see Ford vs. Ferrari, great movie, then out to Vegan Plate for their 1-year anniversary celebration […]
Feeling Festive for the List
Not sure I’m ready for the weekend to end, it’s been mostly relaxing inside thanks to wild rainy and windy weather. The clouds between the storms have been gorgeous while Miko fully preferred snuggling inside where it’s dry. Both the pups have been happy to enjoy warm blankets and the fireplace lately, isn’t Leela adorable […]
Leftovers for the List
It has been a weird, weird week that started with a bad Monday. Work was busy, then we had to evacuate early due to a brush fire nearby and strong winds which thankfully was not a problem. But fires are not taken lightly around here! Then I was not able to get much work done […]
Fun Weekend for the List
Again, Sunday got here way too fast. But it has been a fun and productive weekend after a busy work week. But first the weekday eats that included chickpea pasta with marinara and veggies, curry sweet potato saute, cauliflower stir fry, and a simple soy curl stir fry with tamari. And another simple tempeh stir […]
Back from Florida for the List
It is nice to be back home, we spent last week visiting family in Florida that started with a late flight Sunday night out of Sacramento. I tried to sleep on the flight and maybe got a decent 3 hours of sleep, but I am not a good plane sleeper. We arrived at Atlanta very […]
Keeping Busy for the List
Still trying to wrap my head around that it’s November already and Thanksgiving is not far away. The last few weeks have been so busy at work with a new job that I haven’t even been thinking about the holidays. But the pups are embracing the cooler weather for lazy snooze time snuggled in blankets. […]
Back to Better Habits for the List
Wow, November already and this week has been hectic. Getting an extra hour this weekend was nice and needed for a little extra sleep. Last Sunday we took my dad out for his birthday to Il Fornaio where it was a nice surprise to see they’re labeling more vegan items on the menu and the […]
