Happy Tuesday! Yeah, Friday would be better. I am feeling much better after Sunday’s 10k and had decent run at the gym today. I also got to chat with the young co-worker who smoked my time to congratulate her. Sadly she didn’t seem too impressed with her pace and was upset at the amount of […]
Creamy Dijon Quinoa with Kale
Yesterday we got a slight break in the rain and this gorgeous view. Today the all day rain was back and Miko back to refusing to go outside when when he could be toasting his belly instead. I got into dry toasting quinoa before cooking it. Previously I was fearful to get too aggressive with […]
Creamy Garlic Dressing
It has been raining non-stop for the last few days and is down-pouring outside now. I know this is a good thing, California always needs the rain. But I feel for those affected by flooding and getting a little tired of dogs refusing to outside in this weather. The winds are so strong, Miko still […]
Kicky Nacho Dressing
It is nice to feel almost human again, the last 36 hours have been rough with some stupid, annoying bug-thing running around at work. Ugh! Terrible headaches, body aches, no energy – it was pure evil that forced me to take a night off from training which runners hate. And many have been taking sick days because of […]
Lime Avocado Dressing with Flare
We have a house guest for the next few days, we’re dog sitting my mom’s, uh, hefty dog. And he’s camera shy hiding behind the couch when he sees it in my hand. So this is the best shot I could get just before he hid. What breed would you say he is? The shelter […]
Celebrate Summer
My schedule is still goofed up from our camping trip and getting a day off, lots of catch up and I have not been feeling too motivated after two very crazy days at work. I kind of wish I was still parked in a comfy chair at the campsite enjoying peaceful nature because it was nice to […]
New Shoes & First Seitan Attempt
After probably spending too much time researching shoes, I decided to try the Brooks Ravenna 7 as my next running shoes. I did a lot of reading, but went with these after the Brooks Shoe Finder recommended them. They are a little obnoxiously bright, but it was either these or boring grey. I broke them […]
Garlic Rosemary Dressing
We are so glad the weekend is almost here after a trying work week! Miko is looking forward to walk time in the perfect weekend weather. And I’m hoping things are quiet at work since I’m on call this weekend because they have not been this week. But I did get time to create a […]
Cauliflower Cheesy Sauce
First thing every morning, I send the chihuahuas to the backyard to do their business and they’re still not happy about the chilly, morning air and can’t wait to come in for breakfast. And I can’t wait for the weekend! It’s been a crazy week and salads are a comfort food for me when things […]
Avocado Fennel Seed Dressing
Poor Leela has been a little rattled lately because of our refrigerator. I noticed a few weeks ago the compressor has been kicking on and off in an odd pattern even though it’s been maintaining the temperatures fine. And sometimes it makes a faint high pitched beep when it does which is bothering her. Hubby […]
