It’s been hot here the last few days and Miko knows how to spend hot days – snuggled in his favorite blanket enjoying the air conditioning! I plan on spending similar time for the long weekend ahead! Eggplant has always been a challenge to prepare for me, frying attempts in the past has resulted in […]
Trail Time for the List
Summer has arrived here this weekend with temps in the 90s and I’m enjoying shorts and sandals. And lots of salads like this monster I got with hubby at Whole Foods Friday. There are falafel tots under there along with tasty marinated beans. And more spicy Thai curry, of course. Saturday we had a girls […]
More Busy Week Eats
Yes on this week almost being over. It seems strange to me that I feel frazzled at times when we don’t have kids. But sometimes just working full time, running a house, taking care of fur kids, and maintaining fitness is a lot too. How sad is that? Work has been very consuming lately without […]
Sweet Curry Dressing
Miko has decided he’s not a fan of alfalfa spouts, he was not eager to clean the floor when I dropped some making a huge salad. So he shared carrots with us instead which I used in this fun and sweet curry dressing. I’ve made curry tahini dressings in the past, but this one is […]
Pizza and Fun Running for the List
Happy Mother’s Day! Hope all the mothers are having a great day, we’re having my mom over for dinner tonight for a simple and relaxed evening. With the weather so perfect this weekend, I’ve been trying to get the dogs out for a lot of long walks. Sweet Miko crashed in my lap after a […]
Life & Simple Meals
I am pretty happy this week is almost over and I didn’t get called in for jury duty, woohoo! I was on call having to check each night to see if needed the next day this week, so that was a relief. And it actually got chilly here again this week – lows in the […]
Garlic Avocado Sauce or Dressing
I am curious and hopeful about the benefits of garlic, specifically raw garlic. The platelet and cardiac benefits outlined by Dr. Greger here are very attractive for long term health. Not only is it great for the heart and blood flow, it also fights cancer. But raw garlic is strong, very strong. This simple avocado […]
Running with Chickens for the List
Leela is finally getting the hang of her cuddle bed! Well, most of the time. But that’s progress! And I am feeling sleepy looking at that pic after a long day, but need to finish catching up on laundry for the week first. Allergies are better after I broke down and started using Flonase. I […]
Roasted Dill Potatoes
Apparently I have been a drag this week because these two have been stalking me around the house waiting for something exciting to happen. It’s true, I’ve been an allergy-suffering zombie ever since I ran the Parkway Half Marathon last weekend. I have never dealt with allergies like this, my eyes have been itchy and puffy […]
Sriracha Peanut Dressing
I pretty much love any sort of nut or seed butter based dressing, tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, and sunflower butter are all awesome in dressings. As long as the dressings aren’t too heavy or rich and that’s what I found looking for a good spicy peanut dressing, many dressings called for 1/2 cup or […]
