So far this has been a very laid back weekend and that’s alright with me because I’ve had a case of the blahs with so much going on at work and outside of work. I did get in a 5-mile run that went fine in my new shoes thankfully. And I snacked on popcorn flavored […]
Chocolate Banana Mousse
I’ve never been big into preparing special meals on Valentine’s Day since it usually falls on a work day and all I want is a simple night out with wine. But I’ll make an exception if the recipe is quick, easy, and loaded with chocolate. In fact, with as stressful as work has been lately, […]
Keeping It Mellow
Ugh, how is it Sunday night already? I’m way too relaxed still to go back to work tomorrow because we spent our long weekend relaxing, catching up on house work, watching movies, shopping, and eating leftovers with a few runs and trips to the gym. The weather has been chilly, rainy and foggy, perfect fireplace […]
Oatmeal, Casserole, Peanut Butter Pie, and I Need a Run!
Happy Black Friday. So, who’s shopping today? Probably not me, unless I feel like a little crowd watching at the mall later today, we’ll see. I’m happy to get back to green smoothies and monster salads today after a day of splurging yesterday. This year’s Thanksgiving theme was enjoying vegan variations of cooked foods I […]
Keeping it Simple While Under the Weather
Friday night I got a nasty surprise, I started feeling awful – tired and achy with a pounding headache. By Saturday morning, I was parked on the couch nursing a full on migraine, feeling nauseous and feverish, and cursing my luck for getting sick on a weekend. I should have seen this coming since there […]
New Vegan Purse
Well yesterday was not a great start to the short week, work is still insanely busy and I had to leave early to rush to the Emergency Room for my grandma who had a minor health scare that caused her care home to call in an ambulance. It was a long 6-hour wait in a […]
Catching My Breath & Simple Guacamole
Finally the weekend! Well, kind of. I’m on call for work this weekend and have been watching all our east coast sites go up and down thanks to Hurricane Irene. I feel for everyone affected by it and do not miss those days when we were living in Central Florida. In 2004, we got hit […]
Raw Zucchini Guacamole
Our Memorial Day weekend is going wonderfully so far, I’ve enjoyed plenty of down time at home catching up on home projects and spending time with hubby. We even nailed down a plan for our new home office using Floor Planner, a pretty powerful home tool for free! We picked out all the furniture from […]
Guacamole Dressing
My lucky hubby has this entire week off to play with our new gifts at home while I slave away at work, it’s not fair I tell ya! Actually this week hasn’t been that bad, yet. But it’s given him a lot of time with the new camera to annoy the cats. They’re trying to […]
Avocado Ginger Dressing
It’s so hard getting back to the grind after such a wonderful Christmas weekend, at least it’s a shorter, quieter week. I really wanted to ignore my alarm this morning partly because my cats spent most of the night partying with new Christmas toys, specifically a round ball with a bell they enjoyed slamming into […]
