When I want to try something new, I tend to order way too much of it. I decided I wanted to try adding oatmeal to smoothies and getting crazy with recipes, easy and fast recipes. So I ordered a six pack of this Nature’s Path Organic Quick Oats. Thank goodness for large pantries! I was […]
Simple Eats Inspiration
Leela and I seem to be on the same page this week after a quiet, hot weekend and back to the grind. The heat hits her hard, so she enjoys more rest time. Not Miko, he’s ready for an indoor party with his stinky toy. I gotta wash that again. Eats have been interesting so […]
Sweating It for the Weekend List
Sigh, it’s hot again this weekend. High of 107 degrees yesterday and the pups are feeling it. After our long morning walk before the heat kicked in, they were happy to crash all day in the air conditioning. I pretty much did too after a strange week, I’m still getting back on schedule after camping […]
Tahini Thai Basil Pesto
I am screwed up this week between taking a few days off for camping last week, working Monday, then having yesterday off – what day is it? I’ll get back on schedule eventually here and caught up on sleep, having the 4th of July on a week night is kind of annoying when firework shows […]
South Lake Tahoe Camping
Sometimes it’s nice to disconnect a little and get lost in nature with good company and that’s what we’ve been doing the last few days camping with family in South Lake Tahoe. I love that Lake Tahoe is just over a 2 hour drive away, but worlds different in scenery and weather. We started the […]
Stuff We Ate
I am really enjoying the cooler weather here after over a week of triple digit heat, I can take the dogs for evening walks without worrying about their feet! And summer dusk is just gorgeous, isn’t it? Sweet Miko has been enjoying his hooded cuddle be more lately – after over a year of having […]
Inspiration for the Weekend List
Aw, it’s finally getting cooler here, well highs in the 90s which I’ll happily take after 110 last week! And I can take the dogs for multiple walks today! Well, part walk and part carry for Leela. She tires out and needs breaks during longer walks at her age, so I carry her for a […]
Super Hemp Basil Dressing
Oh my goodness, this week and crazy heat wave are almost over! Today was the record temp finale for this scary weather and I felt it even working out at the gym. The last part of my treadmill run degraded into more walking intervals and a slower pace because allergies and the heat started getting […]
Getting Serious Heat
I am slogging through this week our heat wave and it’s only Tuesday. My car was reading 112 degrees when I left work yesterday. Fun, right? When we were at Costco Saturday, we found a great deal on a 2-pack of Tekeya 40 oz insulated bottles – less than the retail price of one! And […]
Keeping Cool for the List
It’s been hot this weekend, today’s high is 107 degrees! Our high temps will be in the triple digits all week so I’m making sure all of my lighter work pants are clean and ready doing tons of laundry. Living in this kind of heat is not all bad as long as there’s working AC. […]
