Hubby surprised me with an early Valentine’s Day gift – an AeroGarden! We had fun setting it up yesterday and starting kale and herb planter pods in it, so I will be reporting a lot more on it when we start seriously growing stuff. First impressions: Wow, it’s high tech with a touch screen display, […]
Coconut Curry Dressing
I am loving the fall feeling here, temps in the 70s this week with a cool breeze and leaves are turning. Finally after an insanely hot and dry summer. And Halloween is almost here! I have never been a costume person, I wasn’t even good at dressing up as a kid possibly because most of […]
Spicy Hemp Dressing
It’s been a busy week here, but it’s always nice wrapping up the day with a little down time in front of the TV before bed. And Miko looks forward to the couch cuddle time. It’s always a good time to snuggle in his favorite softy red blanket. It’s hot here this week, ugh. Triple […]
Sweet Basil Dressing
It’s back to the grind after a fun 4-day birthday weekend, another year older. But I had fun and got some great gifts. Lots of eco-friendly goodies, books, and Blooming wrapping paper that grows from my mother-in-law, so sweet! Tuesday my mom and I went to the California State Fair where I took in inspiration […]
Simple Silky Orange Ginger Dressing
Hi, popping in with a quick post again because it’s been another busy week at work with lots going on. I’m taking a couple of extra days off next week for my birthday and really looking forward to that down time now. Hopefully things will be settling down soon. I’ve been keeping things simple for dinner with […]

Simple Sweet Dressing
Leela is still not happy about the triple digit heat here, she kind of wanders around the house restless and seems a little more on edge being stuck inside. But it’s too dangerous to take them for long walks during the worst of the heat. Miko agrees, he’s still fine with chilling inside. I’m fine […]
This Nut-free Cake Pleases Everyone
I’m still recovering from the fun-loaded weekend after being on call for work, celebrating, running errands, and our Easter celebration. I need a weekend from the weekend! But it all went good and we had a huge and active Easter celebration at my sister’s house with family, friends, and way too much food. Thanks to […]
Why Smoothies Are the Best Fast Food
When it comes to smoothies, there are many different directions you can go from a light serving alternative to fruits and veggies to a full on hearty meal replacement. I’m more of a meal replacement girl, smoothies are my go to for fast, healthy, energizing, and nutritious meals on the go and my favorite for […]
How Banana Makes A Salad Decadent
Hooray for the weekend almost being here. Leela and Miko agree, they’d like more walks and play time. And more carrots, they both come running into the kitchen now when I’m chopping carrots for a salad. Keeping a little container of chopped carrot “coins” in the fridge have been great, healthy, and inexpensive treats for […]
