First, Happy New Year! It’s been an interesting week here, but nice to quiet down a little since I came down with a cold after Christmas that has been ripping through the office and family, then poor hubby got it shortly after which is thankfully much better. Miko has been enjoying his Christmas gift – […]
Time to Chill
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. The last few days have been a blur here in a good but stressful way. I’ve said it before, but for me the day after Christmas feels more like Christmas as a time to relax after all the chaos and stress and really enjoy the gifts and decorations […]
Super Garlic Tahini Dressing
We’ve made it past the halfway point of the week and the holidays are getting closer. These two snuggle buddies are ready. With the holidays comes our department holiday potluck and white elephant gift trade. I have a love/hate relationship with potlucks, I tend to over stress about what to bring bordering on I want […]
Drama and Eats for the List
Jeez, another weekend went by too fast. The last week was long, stressful, and filled with drama as they usually are before the holidays and I’m a little burned out. Having a sweet lap buddy to watch Christmas movies with us has been great. And getting a decent run outside this morning was good to […]
Simple Sriracha Dressing
As you know, Miko loves heat this time of year and would be happy to live in front of a fireplace or space heater. Warm and comforting is good, especially for the winter! So is spicy heat, I tend to prefer spicier foods with warming flare more during the winter – hot curries, hot chili, […]
Community & Great Eats for the List
Well boo on the weekend being over already, where does the time go? Leela spent most of the weekend sleeping in blankets and eating, her two favorite things as a senior dog. I got some outdoor time on runs and dog walks and the clear skies were gorgeous. There have been simple and fun eats […]
Creamy Butternut Pasta Sauce
Whew, we’ve made it this far in the week and Miko wishes I was home more for cuddle toy time on the couch. Me too! Chilly weather is all about winter squash for me, I don’t think I could ever get tired of it. Sunday I roasted a large butternut squash to use for the […]
Keeping Busy for the Weekend List
Whew, it has been a week and a crazy weekend! And I still have a lot to do which I’m thankful for. It’s been cold and foggy here too and the views from our morning dog walks have been gorgeous. Miko’s idea of a good weekend is plenty of fireplace toasting, especially in the chilly […]
Creamy Kale Sauce
Getting back to work this week has been tough after a long and relaxing weekend, I’m kind of glad the weekend is near. I finally got the Christmas tree up and decorated and the boxes put back away. I didn’t finish it Sunday because after I finished getting all the lights on, a fuse blew […]
Holiday Chaos Starts for the List
Happy Sunday! Kind of feels like it’s already Christmas with the shopping madness and house decorations up, I guess the weeks between Thanksgiving and actual Christmas is the new Christmas. The pups sheltered themselves from the chaos all snug in their warm beds this weekend. And Miko made sure he’s ready at the table to […]
