Friday is almost here and I’m having a glass of wine to celebrate it. No, this post isn’t going Whine About It style, but I would like a wine glass that large. The problem with being really busy at work and maybe a little drained from marathon training is I’m just not feeling getting creative […]
New Hummus Dressing & Fall Treats
I’m sad the last watermelon I picked up was pretty flavorless and weak, I guess I should be thankful I can still buy them in October. But it’s time to focus on winter squash – glorious winter squash and lots of it! I can see going through 3 squashes a week just by myself and […]
Loading Up for the Weekend List
We’re having a relaxing Sunday here, but I think Leela and Miko are missing our house guest last week. And are a little pouty at me for not having a long walk yet today since it’s been raining all day. I’m not complaining, I love the rain and we need more of it! Miko likes […]
Savory Pumpkin Dressing
I’m feeling better now that the weekend is closer and things are settling down a bit. We’re back down to two dogs, Dasher went back home this morning. But we played another game of hide-from-the-camera last night. He is very camera shy and gets nervous just seeing the camera in my hand. Except when he’s […]
October Needs to Chill
Usually October is one of my favorite months, cooling temps, pumpkins, holidays to look forward to, turning leaves – what’s not to love? But this year we got off to a bad start between scary family health problems, urgent road trips, work stress, missing a half marathon, and blah! I will say that long runs […]
Going the Distance for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! It is nice to relax a bit, I’m feeling more caught up and chilled after a busy couple of weeks. Friday night hubby and I stepped out for spicy Thai vegan comfort food – I just adore this simple cashew tofu stir fry. I’m getting more into the fall spirit and have been […]
Easy , Whole Food Eats
Happy almost Friday! I’m ready for some downtime this weekend after our whirlwind trip. I still feel like I’m catching up on sleep, laundry, etc. from it and have not had much recipe experimenting time. But I did try this treat I scored at Grocery Outlet – Parsnip Chipotle Lime Cilantro Snip Chips. Crunchy with a […]
Road Trip Disconnect
I am back home and still trying to get caught up and back into a routine after a whirlwind of a road trip with my sister to visit my dad after a health scare in southern California. We left early-ish Thursday to make the 7-hour drive and I did all the driving. We were making pretty […]
Hemp Ranch Dressing
I’m feeling better after a bumpy week. Thanks for the sweet well wishes on my dad, he is doing better and we’ll be making a trip to visit him later this week. So I may not get an opportunity to post again until the weekend. Smokey is not interested in drama, she is more interested […]
Highs and Lows for the Weekend List
It has been a weird roller coaster of a week and I am still feeling a little overwhelmed and recovering from it. So this will be a short, simple, and sweet post of the highs and lows of it. Let’s start with the lows, get the ugly out of the way first. Getting sick. On […]
