This seems to be the first official weekend of fall here with temps finally in the 70s and 60s and I am celebrating with a delicious warming and creamy broth for sautéing hearty potatoes and veggies in – Pacific Foods Organic Creamy Plant-Based Zesty Ginger & Turmeric Broth. Also with the Autumn Harvest Bowl and […]
More Fun VCC Eats
Here we are at Sunday again, this week flew by with the finale being our air conditioning deciding to fail last night. Luckily it’s not too hot, but still warm enough in the afternoon to need it which is crazy in October. Not looking forward to a possibly pricey repair, oh well. We did get […]
VCC Eats for the List
It’s been a nice weekend here after a busy week, but I am looking forward to cooling fall temps since it’s still in the 90s. But it’s also still great weather for simple salads and soy curl stir fries. Monday we celebrated our 25 year dating anniversary (!!!) by enjoying vegan options at Mikuni and […]
Fall and Fun for the List
Hello October! I am ready for turning leaves, pumpkins, and cooling temps. And diving into the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! It’s been a busy week here still settling into a new job.

Fun Finds for the List
This week flew by and it’s almost October, Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge month! And a good month to consider going back to the gym, haha. I got up very early Saturday to be at a nearby ranch at 6am to volunteer for an endurance race a friend was hosting. Basically race participants could choose to […]
Hints of Fall for the List

So exiting we picked up pumpkins at Trader Joe’s and opened the windows for that wonderful fresh rain smell. Still eating like a queen for work lunches at Zest Kitchen and Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine as […]
Peace and Bad Air for the List
Happy Sunday, hope you’re having a good weekend. It’s a smoky weekend here due to the Mosquito Fire, snapped this eerie view driving to work Friday, But nothing compared to those impacted by the fire, hopefully it’s under control soon. I am still training and getting settled into the new job and missing Miko with […]
Finding New Normal
Thank you so much for the kind words on Miko, it’s been nearly two weeks and we miss him terribly while the house does not feel the same. I think back to that tough day a lot and tear up. I have found comfort from everyone’s kind words and online support groups for those going […]
We Lost Our Sunshine
I am writing that post I have been dreading for the last 2 years as I sit here broken hearted. On Monday, August 22nd, 2022 at about 11:45 AM, Miko left us. It seemed to happen so fast before we could get him to the vet and we were both with him cuddling him. I […]
Great Eats & Positive Outlook for the List
Here we are at Sunday again, wow. It’s been a good and interesting week, I got a run in one evening taking in the views since it was actually cool enough after work. And Miko has been doing okay, coughing more this week. But he had a vet appointment Friday with X-rays confirming it’s not […]
