Poor Leela has been a little lonely and clingy this week. She’s on antibiotics before a teeth cleaning appointment and not liking the side effects. I’m not liking having to sneak shove a dropper full of medicine into her mouth twice a day! Miko is not liking feeling left out of the medicine party even after […]
Sriracha Kale Chips
I’m ashamed to say it’s been a long time since I’ve used our Excalibur Food Dehydrator, over a year maybe! I had to dig it out of the back corner of our pantry for this recipe. But I got inspired with this lovely bunch of fresh kale we got in our farm box. And after […]
Scoring Deals for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! It’s been a great weekend here so far, productive at home creating recipes and doing a little cleaning out for the new year. I’m really looking forward to SacTown VegFest later this month and excited the local Sacramento Vegetarian Society is taking control of the event. I got to help out a little […]
Ginger Miso Stir Fry Sauce
The long weekend is almost here, woohoo! I don’t even mind that it’s supposed to rain all weekend. Neither does Smokey as long as she has her favorite couch blanket. Leela is funny about eating V-Dog kibble, she likes to leave little bits outside the bowl and comes back for them later. For me, when […]
Creamy Asian Dressing
We’re supposed to be getting many days of chilly rain this week and that’s a good thing, we need it. Except sharing the warm fireplace isn’t always easy, Smokey gets a little cranky when Miko gets in the way of her favorite show. And Miko likes to lay his toys out at the fireplace to warm them […]
Getting Back to It for the Weekend List
We have progress with the new pet beds, Leela is figuring them out. She pouted yesterday when the cat was in her favorite bed and finally climbed into her new cozy cave. There might be hope after all! Happy Sunday, hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m getting ready to head out on a […]
Creamy Herb Dressing
I am finally recovering from the flu nightmare and had a decent run at the gym tonight that was needed! I can still feel my lungs recovering and cough is still hanging around a bit, but it’s slowly going away. I read a cough can hang around for weeks after a flu while the lungs […]
Roasted Oil Free Golden Beets
I am finally starting to feel “normal” again after over a week of the flu, but getting back to the gym has been tough with a cough still sticking around. The sweet chihuahuas have been very patient despite the lack of walks during my sick time and now rain, poor guys. Smokey has been happy […]
Sick Cravings for the Weekend List
I’ve been dealing with this flu now in some form or another for over 7 days. After the initial 2 days of intense fever passed and the respiratory issues started, I had phases of lower grade fevers as I dealt with all the respiratory phases of this nightmare. I have been consistently tired, achy, having […]
Wrapping up 2015
Happy New Year! It’s gonna be a quiet evening here while I get over the great plague of 2015 and hope the remnants do not creep into 2016! The worst fever part of it is over, but some sinus and achy symptoms are still hanging around and I just want to get to the gym and […]
