It’s hot this week with most days over 100 degrees and we’re feeling it. Even though we’re trying to stay in the AC during the hottest times of the day, I just feel more tired and drag more (and sweat more) at the gym. Leela has been sleeping more inside. The heat does strange things […]
Earth Day Fest & Parsley Dressing
Whew and it’s only Wednesday! That’s cool, hoping the weekend will get here soon because Miko is ready for more couch cuddle time. Last weekend was gorgeous, plenty of sun, blooming flowers, and warm weather. Perfect for an outdoor Earth Day festival. The ECOS Sacramento Earth Day festival is such a unique experience, a beautiful […]
Spicy Tahini Dressing
Hello August, that means cooling fall temps and turning leaves are getting closer! And fireplace cuddly time which Miko is all about. But since temps are still hot, I’m still celebrating summer with vibrant salads and fun blender salad dressings. Trust me, you’ll want to make this one. It’s tangy, creamy, slightly sweet, and has […]
Healthy Hacks
I am a bit out of it today, I had a long dental appointment yesterday I’ve been putting off for awhile to finally get old work re-done and having an achy mouth and not being able to enjoy certain foods since has made me a little cranky. But that’s temporary and I’m thankful to finally get […]
Super Herb Salad
Summer is here with temps in the 90s this week. Ack, already?! Smokey is perfectly happy to soak up the warm sunshine. Leela was not perfectly happy yesterday and decided to pout under the coffee table for some reason. I get it, I have those days weeks too and this might be one of them with […]
Vinegar Tahini Dressing
I am so happy tomorrow is Friday! I’m ready! You? This week I finally watched The Barkley Marathons Documentary on Netflix and what a crazy race! I’ve been putting it off because I thought it would be grueling and tough to watch, but there was actually plenty of fun and humor in the story of how this insane […]
Creamy Spirulina Dressing
I think I’m still adjusting to the time change and losing an hour on a race day last weekend because getting out of bed for work has been tough this week. But Smokey is enjoying the additional sunshine in the evenings. And, oh yeah, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and I have a green recipe for […]
Avocado Blue Cheese Dressing
It must be getting closer to Friday because Miko is pouting at me again for being busy all week. I feel like pouting too after this work week, but there is a long and awesome weekend to look forward to! And check out the kale in the AeroGarden after only 14 days! It really is growing about […]
Ginger Herb Dressing
Leela was having a case of the Mondays yesterday and perfectly happy to hide in her bed. Can’t blame her, it was tempting when my alarm went off. Smokey stayed parked on her favorite couch blanket all day. Not a bad way to spend Monday for sure! I spent some of it getting creative with […]
Simple Baked Sweet Potatoes
Good news, Friday is almost here! And we’re still getting spaghetti squashes from our garden, I pulled two more along with a funky cucumber and eggplant yesterday. We only planted two spaghetti squash plants, but they’ve been producing like crazy unlike my kale or tomato plants this year. It’s been an odd year with the […]
