Whoa, almost Friday already – sweeeeet! The plus side of a really busy week is time flies. I’ll just say that it’s been another crazy week at work and today was particularly frustrating working with a software rep trying to iron out network and configuration issues for a large upgrade. Coming home to these sweet […]
Curried Quinoa & Broccoli
I’ve been a little obsessed with this refrigerated package of simply pre-cooked lentils from Trader Joe’s. For a few dollars, it has 5 large servings that are ready for soups, salads, or any other fast weeknight creation. And it comes in a packed loaf that’s easy to slice into servings and break apart. Last night […]
Broccoli Banana Soup
Whoa, it’s Sunday already? Where did the weekend go? It’s been a great, but busy weekend here. I did get a little down time to enjoy the backyard and start a little yard work. And we got a visit from our neighbor’s sweet kitty. Who is enjoying the long grass in our backyard now. The […]
Hemp Hollandaise Sauce
Things have been a little cranky here this week with Leela, she’s been extra annoyed when Skipper gets too close to her and pouted in a blanket on the couch tonight because he favorite fireplace bed was occupied. Smokey decided Leela’s Cuddle Cube is her favorite bed this week. Apparently Smokey is not the first […]
Cheesy Protein Sauce
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 […]
Broccoli Potato Leek Soup
Monday got here too fast again, our relaxing weekend didn’t seem long enough. Miko spent plenty of time toasting by the fireplace. And hubby and I spent some time playing in the kitchen. I skipped grocery shopping this weekend to try and use up what we have stock piled in the pantry and freezer, so […]
Broccoli Hummus Soup
This area is in a pretty serious drought now and sadly Folsom Lake is at a record low water level. But the low levels are exposing remains of a old gold rush town that was flooded in 1955 when the dam was completed. Hubby and I decided to check it out over the weekend to […]
Raw Protein and Dill Dip
Skipper out of the blue today became obsessed with a cat toy and did not want to give it up. We had to rescue it before he ate the fluffy end, though that would have been interesting. I guess that means he’s feeling better and becoming more stabilized on his current insulin dosage since he’s […]
Spicy and Cheesy
Where did the weekend go? Things just seem like a blur with Christmas next week! I’m excited and looking forward to all the fun and festivities and a few days off work, but a little scatterbrained checking off my lists and getting ready. So this post will be an interesting mesh of random. Miko is […]
Split Lentil Soup
This week is moving quickly, Wednesday already! And tonight is our last night of freezing temps for awhile and that’s alright with me. And the chihuahuas too, hopefully they’ll be more willing to go outside! Tonight they’re happy to park it by the fireplace. Skipper is happy to thoroughly check the kitchen floor for more […]
