I survived my 7.5 mile leg of the CIM Relay yesterday in frigid 27 degrees, barely! When I arrived at the start of the leg, I didn’t want to leave my warm car as I watched other runners uncomfortably dash to the start in skimpy running clothes. I finally did. For the race, I layered […]
Apple Broccoli Soup
It’s actually cold and rainy here today and Miko is not a happy camper, he’d rather snuggle up inside than go outside and do his doggy business. It takes a little extra coaxing to get him to the backyard and he usually stays under the overhang and refuses to step out into the rain. Skipper, […]
Broccoli Mash & Butternut Pudding
Lately I’ve been watching random shows and movies on Netflix during home workouts and I decided to watch Forks Over Knives last night. I’ve seen it before, but it’s been over two years and I decided I needed a refresher on all the information. I’m glad I watched it again to rejuvenate healthier eating habits […]
Curried Tahini Butternut Sauce
It’s kind of strange driving to work in the dark again now that sunrise is later, feels a little cold and lonely. But I’m loving the cooler weather here and the beautiful sunsets at dinner time. We can tell when cooler weather officially starts kicking in because Miko would rather park it on warm laps […]
Curried Edamame Quinoa
Well, here we are back to Monday. Yay. The weekend buzzed by too quick as usual, but it was a packed and fun weekend. Saturday I ran around on errands and to the gym and crammed in chores before leaving in the afternoon to start the 2 hour drive to Escalon for hubby’s band gig. […]
Simple Zucchini Ramen Soup
It’s been a relaxing and productive weekend so far, I met my mom at the gym for an non-rushed workout yesterday morning, then worked through a lot of house chores with hubby, and stepped out to see Elysium before making a relaxing dinner at home. Not a bad movie, you’ll like it if you liked […]
Creamy Broccoli Quinoa
Today was a crazy day at work, a one-thing-after-another day that at least flew by quick. And I came home to a quieter house since we’re no longer dog sitting my dad’s dog. I think Miko is a little sad to lose his buddy for the last two weeks though. He perked up for an […]
Raw Marinated Cauliflower
Is it Friday yet? Rats, I am ready for this week to be over. Poor Miko has been feeling neglected with me being a little burned out after busy days at work. And I haven’t been feeling too creative in the kitchen this week, there’s lots of stuff I want to do, like dehydrate more […]
Tomato Quinoa Stew
It’s almost Friday and I am ready! It’s been a busy week, except for the dogs. I can’t blame them, it rained most of today and I’d rather be balled up in a comfy couch blanket too. Instead I was craving a little comfort food for dinner after a busy work day. When I first […]
Red Pepper Stir Fry Sauce
Very happy the weekend is here and we’re not getting short-changed an hour for this one! After a draining week, I have a long list of things I want to catch up on today from finally doing my hair roots, garden work, laundry, and updating music play lists. I did finally make it to Costco […]
