The problem with work weeks before a long holiday weekend is they seem like they’ll never end! I spent most of the day at work thinking it was Thursday and slightly depressed when the reality sunk in that it’s only Wednesday. But it’s been that kind of a week at work! Can I switch places […]
Tomato Hemp Alfredo Sauce
Is there anything more decadent and unhealthy than a traditional Alfredo sauce? Most of the recipes I’ve seem are solid cream, butter, cheese and all-fat milk. Not very vegan friendly and a dangerous gut bomb when paired with pasta. But I never get tired of creating healthier, high-raw versions to coat veggies in. Tonight I […]
Another Cheesy Hemp Sauce
Friday is getting closer thankfully! It’s been a long week for me already, I haven’t slept well for the last 3 nights for one reason or another – allergies, stress, and this little guy having allergies apparently. He woke me up twice last night having a wheezing sniffling attack at 1 and 3 AM. And […]
Cheesy Tempeh Broccoli
It’s another rainy week here which is great for our garden, not so good for coaxing Miko to do his business in the backyard. He dashes out to the grass and back to the door lightening fast and usually after I carry his little rear outside. I can’t blame him, the wind and rain isn’t […]
Stir Fried Tempeh
Another weekend gone, yikes! In the spirit of relaxing Sunday, I stuck with a simple staple dinner that’s fast and easy to prepare – a tempeh stir fry. And I used the miso sauce from this tofu stir fry recipe. With chard, onion, orange bell pepper, and broccoli for the veggies – not a bad […]
Creamy Raw Broccoli Soup
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 […]
Feeling a Little Crazy
Maybe it’s the full moon. Or the odd off-and-on winter weather we’ve had this week. Or maybe dealing with plenty of stress at work with more people out sick this entire week and us healthy ones grumbling about carrying the extra work load and stress. And maybe it has something to do with a co-worker […]
Raw Broccoli Corn Soup
It seems the day after the Superbowl should be a national holiday off work, don’t you think? Even though I’m not a huge football fan, I was feeling the fun of last night’s party when my alarm went off this morning and dragged through the morning at work. But it was worth it. Before hubby […]
Hemp Mustard Dressing
In talking to my mom and sister today, I noticed we vented continuously about feeling stressed, crunched for time, strung out, etc. My mind raced as I listened to all their stresses and tallied my own. That’s been the trend for me this week settling back into a busy schedule at work, catching up with […]
Hemp Hummus Pate
We are still learning loads about our newly adopted chihuahua, the most recent discovery is he hates cold weather. Add a little rain to the mixture, like today, and Miko is not a happy camper about backyard potty trips. I’m not one who normally dresses dogs up, but we may need to get the little […]
