Whew, almost Friday and then a 3-day weekend! I’m ready after a busy week and thankful. Skipper is very thankful for V-Dog. The dogs get two meals a day now, breakfast and dinner, because that schedule is better for Skipper’s blood sugar. I had to break up the chihuahuas dinner into two small meals, but […]
Capay Valley Almond Festival
I ended up not running yesterday because it was too windy. I can and have run in a lot of weather conditions including freezing rain and triple digit heat, but I’m a wuss when it comes to strong wind. The few times I’ve tried it, I get really tired and a runny nose, no fun! […]
Nacho Almond Spread
I’m feeling better this week, a little more relaxed. It’s hard not to looking at these lazy little butts toasting in front of the fireplace. So content and relaxed. Wish I could take them to work, Miko would play all day taking the occasional break to mark co-workers cubes and Leela would snarl at anyone […]
Rosemary Pate
So happy the weekend is almost here, it’s been a long week recovering from last weekend’s half marathon and keeping busy at work. But it’s also WTF Thursday here where our kitchen is getting pretty low on fresh ingredients. It’s a fun opportunity to get creative with unexpected ingredients – most of the time. […]
Fast Carrot Ginger Pate
Thankfully I’m feeling better today, less congested, and hoping to attempt a long run shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed! Yesterday I ended up doing a workout at home on our elliptical while getting engrossed in Forest Gump. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and I was saturated in sweat – whoops! Hubby and […]
Christmas Eve with Raw Nutloaf
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is having a wonderful time with family and friends today. I’m recovering from a fabulous Christmas Eve gathering at my sister’s house last night and preparing for another one at my dad’s today, wee! She had plenty of cute decorations out including this wine bottle stuffed with Christmas lights, so California! […]
Fast and Easy Raw
Kind of can’t believe Christmas is less than a week away! But I’m comforted that most of the shopping and wrapping is down, most of it. Recipe planning is a different story with potlucks and two family gatherings we still need to complete the menus for and the following grocery shopping. With holiday stress, work […]
Raw Curry Pate
Things are getting wild around here in the evenings! Miko is so happy when we’re both home, he turns into a wild man tearing around the house, chasing our other chihuahua, and chomping on his toys. He’s obsessed with his stuffed green toy that’s about the same size as him, so funny to watch him […]
Raw Pumpkin Pie
Well here we are at Sunday again and me whining about not being ready for the weekend to end. What else is new? But it was a wonderfully fun and long weekend celebrating my mom’s birthday all day Saturday with lots of shopping, dining out, and me almost adopting another chihuahua at a rescued animal […]
Cheezecake, More Squash & Raw Almonds
I’m all for starting the week with a positively, but it’s a little hard when I’m scratching my head wondering where the weekend went! Something that tends to happen a lot in our family are last minute, throw together gatherings that are casual and the food consists of what we can scrounge up in our […]
