It’s been raining just a bit here, pretty much non-stop since Monday and we’re starting to see flooding in Northern California now. Thankfully not by us yet, but poor Miko has been very frustrated with the weather. We got a brief break in the rain this afternoon, hubby tried to get him out for a […]
Great Eats & Celebration for the List
Wow, this weekend flew by too fast. But it’s been a fun weekend with some decadent eating and fun in the vegan community. I tried to keep eats healthier and whole food plant based at home during the week with oil free roasted potatoes and butternut squash soup, veggie tofu stir fries, and curried potato […]
Simply Powerful Garlic Dressing
Miko would like the weekend to be here, he’s ready for more couch cuddle time with hubby. Me too. I’ve been hitting my usual grind of home elliptical workouts or gym treadmill workouts after work and simple veggie stir fries. I was so excited to find zucchini and yellow squash at Costco, love those in […]
Embracing Winter for the List
One of my goals for 2019 is to reduce my disposable plastic use and trash in general and have been spending a lot of time on the Zero Waste Subreddit It’s not easy with personal care items and so much food coming in plastic! So it’s been baby steps switching to shampoo bars, trying alternative […]
More Busy Week Eats
It’s been another busy week at work and it’s flying by, so I’m not complaining. Poor Miko is because it has been down pouring rain since last night which means no walks. We’re grateful for the rain and it means more runs at the gym. But between being busy at work and maybe feeling a […]
Running Into the Week for the List
I’m a little sad the weekend is almost over, after a busy week, I’m not sure I’m ready to head back to work tomorrow. Oh well, hoping for a great week. Running has just been eh the last few days, I’ve been getting runs in, but not hitting the pace I’d like and dragging a […]
Fun with Simple Dishes
Feels like it should be Friday, right? Miko agrees, he’s been a little frustrated with the rainy and freezing weather. We actually almost got snow yesterday which is pretty rare here. So Leela has been all about cuddling in blankets by the fireplace while Miko wants indoor toy-throwing sessions. And lots of gym runs for […]
Tahini Banana Dressing for the List
Well what did you think of the Superbowl? For me it was just eh. But jeez Hyundai, really? We had a fun low key day at home in the rainy and windy weather, I sorted more stuff and have a growing stash to donate again. The pups had lazy days with the cold, wet weather. […]
Rebooting a Classic
Miko is not happy with me. He took his favorite toy in the backyard and managed to set it down in a puddle of Leela’s pee. So it’s in the wash and he’s pouting, refuses to play with any of the other toys in his full toy box. The weather is nothing to pout about […]
SacTown VegFest 2019 for the List
It is nice to relax a little today because yesterday was packed with SacTown VegFest – whew! The few days leading up to it where pretty packed at work, so I kept things simple at home with tofu stir fries, easy lunch from Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine, and sharing with my lap buddy. And we […]
