Winter is a running off-season for me, I can run in freezing temps and I’m even getting better at it and enjoying it more. Still runs are rarely impressive like Sunday’s short 4-mile run in the high 20s, low-30s. I got off to a late start because of the cold and cut it short to make […]
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 […]
Dr. Michael Greger & Quinoa Leftovers
I miss the long weekend, it was fabulous. We had a lovely Valentine’s day with roses, sweet cards, and gifts. I got hubby books, a new game, nice watch, and this insane limited edition signed Blair’s 2am Reserve extract hot sauce since he’s into hot sauces. I like spicy too, but that’s too insane for me! He […]
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 […]
Winter Squash & Random
Sorry, but this will be a pretty random post because it’s been a crazy week. Work is not slowing down and things always seem a little chaotic and crazy in November anyway, right? There’s preparing for Thanksgiving while reminders are everywhere that Christmas is just around the corner. Shopping and traffic around here already seem […]
Getting into Fall and More Hemp Tofu
Skipper has been hanging in there after his little spell on Friday, but still not 100%. He’s slower, not as interested in food as he was, which is very strange for him, and seems a little more confused. He still seems happy and not like he’s in pain, but that can be tough to tell […]
Down Day with Simple Eats
Last night was an exciting night for us, hubby’s band had a pretty big gig opening for another band at a bar. It was their first biggish gig teaming up with another band in a public show and what an experience! It was also a long day for me, I had to dash home right […]
Relaxed Weekend Start
I’m still on the fence about running the half marathon tomorrow and will probably decide at the very last minute, but it’s not looking good. I woke up with a pounding sinus headache this morning that is the worst I’ve had in a long time and really strange. Maybe the stress I’ve been going through […]
May I Be Frank Review
Hard to believe our week in Florida visiting family is nearly over, time has flown by! After lots of eating out, I kept it simple for dinner tonight with baked tofu, acorn squash, and a salad while the rest of the family had BBQ. I tossed the tofu chunks with BBQ sauce and baked at […]
Getting My Geek On
Happy Friday! Finally! I’m looking forward to fun and relaxing this weekend celebrating two family birthdays and making some great raw eats. Last night I went lazy and simple for dinner after another long and exhausting day at work whipping up one of my favorite raw soups in the Vita-Mix, Gena’s Red Pepper and Hemp […]
