It’s been awhile since I’ve been sick, really sick with a fever and too weak and dizzy to walk. Sunday I cut my 6 mile run short when I started feeling funny and achy at mile 3. By the evening I had a triple digit fever, headache, cough, and achy. Apparently there were multiple bugs being passed around […]
Snow and Great Eats for the Weekend List
It has been a week here preparing for Christmas and working. Usually working over the holidays does not bother me too much, but this year seemed extra stressful for some reason and I really did not want to be at the office on Christmas Eve with everyone else on vacation. Better put in for extra […]
Scenes from Christmas 2015
Merry day after Christmas! I’ve said it before, but this might be my favorite day of Christmas. I love all the family, friends, and festivities too! But the stress is over today, no more mad food prep, chaos, worrying about gifts, rushing to parties, etc. Just enjoy gifts and decorations, maybe catch up on Christmas movies, […]
Veggie Ginger Rice
The pups are a little annoyed with me and the weather, it’s been windy and raining the last two days. That’s great, we need it in California! But even Leela won’t step outside when wind gusts rush inside as soon as I open the door. Thankfully we get a break in the rain tonight and […]
Unlucky Potluck for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! I just finished our last bit of gift wrapping and planning to venture out on a run in the overcast and cold weather shortly. I had a productive day yesterday of wrapping, finishing up holiday donations, and shopping at Trader Joe’s. Not enjoying the holiday traffic and sharing the roads with so many stressed out […]
Golden Beet Dressing
Wow, Christmas is less than a week away! And I’ll be spending a good chunk of the weekend recipe planning and grocery shopping between seeing Star Wars with hubby and running. I wonder if Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods will be crowded?! It’s all good and I’m ready to enjoy low-key family gatherings because it was a […]
Simple & Fun Protein Spaghetti
I had a case of the Mondays yesterday and this week so far after work stress and a Griswold Christmas tree story that I can laugh about now, but wasn’t when I was lugging a huge boxed Christmas tree out of my car and into a home improvement store last night. I’m a fan of real Christmas trees, […]
New Look for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday, hope everyone is having a great weekend. Getting there with making over this site, what do you think so far? Winter weather is in full swing today, rain and a severe wind advisory for most of the day. The dogs want nothing to do with it and refuse to even step out to […]
Raw Hemp Nog Energy Balls
Miko has been extra hungry lately perhaps from the cold weather, I caught him last night sneaking steamed spaghetti squash from Leela’s bowl. So innocent. I’m thankful they’re fans of healthy foods. And who says you can’t enjoy healthy foods as holiday treats? It’s been too long since I created raw vegan energy balls and these are […]
Easiest Lemon Hemp Dressing
Our Christmas tree is finally up and I put enough lights on it for a few trees I think! Christmas cheer is in the house too, these two have been peacefully sharing the cuddle cube bed in front of the fireplace which is rare. And lemon trees are in full bloom, I scored a huge […]
