It’s been raining just a bit here, pretty much non-stop since Monday and we’re starting to see flooding in Northern California now. Thankfully not by us yet, but poor Miko has been very frustrated with the weather. We got a brief break in the rain this afternoon, hubby tried to get him out for a […]
Ginger Brussels Sprouts and Quinoa
I have an interesting relationship with Brussels sprouts, I know they’re amazing nutritional powerhouses. But not easy to enjoy raw even pureed into smoothies and soups with their strong flavor and digestive challenges. Even Sheldon gave up on them on The Big Bang Theory. Cooking helps, but many cooking methods involve lots of oil and/or […]
Avocado Nacho Dressing
It’s been a week with a lot of stress at work and me cranky while battling a cold, I’m ready for it to end and had to remind myself to breathe and be grateful a few times! Miko seems to know I’m a little out of sorts and has been extra clingy and cuddly. And […]
Soggy Chill Weekend
It’s been an interesting weekend with the skies looking pretty angry for most of it. And plenty of gusty rain to go a long with them, not pleasant to be outside in at all! So, with the exception of a few errands, we stayed inside and enjoyed the Christmas tree and decorations. And played a […]
Sweet Sunday
Boo on the weekend being over and the start of what promises to be another very busy work week tomorrow. But today was just a pleasant and productive day that started with a leisurely 5.5 mile run this morning were I stopped to snap pics of geese on my favorite nature trail. The weather was […]
Simple Brussels Sprouts & New Knives
We survived another Monday here and I’m already counting down until another relaxing weekend! Every day is a relaxing day for our pets, except when they’re fighting over who gets hubby’s lap. And hubby and I may have fought over who gets to use these beauties first. Thanks to Averie @ Averie Cooks and Big […]
Raw Soups for Spring
It’s been a week so far! The challenges and stresses are plentiful to say the least, but it seems to be flying by so there’s that. I’m not only getting nagged at work, but at home too! Smokey has been very clingy and curious following us around the house, stomping across keyboards, and trying to […]
Creamy Brussels Sprouts
TGIF! I’m happy to put this week behind me, it was another busy one at work. Too bad I have to work a little this weekend, ugh! Funny that it’s been less than a month since we adopted Miko. It feels like it’s been much longer, in a good way! The last few weeks have […]
Protein Quinoa & Hempy Cheesy Sauce
Wasn’t the moon this morning gorgeous? Even though I was running slightly late for work, I still had to step out in the backyard in the cold and dark to try and snap it with my macro lens and got some okay shots. But my night time photography skills still need a lot of work. […]
