Whew, we’ve made it this far in the week and Miko wishes I was home more for cuddle toy time on the couch. Me too! Chilly weather is all about winter squash for me, I don’t think I could ever get tired of it. Sunday I roasted a large butternut squash to use for the […]
New Hummus Dressing & Fall Treats
I’m sad the last watermelon I picked up was pretty flavorless and weak, I guess I should be thankful I can still buy them in October. But it’s time to focus on winter squash – glorious winter squash and lots of it! I can see going through 3 squashes a week just by myself and […]
Butternut Sage Dressing
Leela has been a little antsy lately, restlessly following me around the house. And even doing her cute little meerkat pose at the dinner table for extra attention and carrot nibbles. Maybe the holiday stress is getting to her. Or maybe she can’t wait for her presents. I think she’s gonna love the new bed we got her. […]
Weak Brunch & Costumes for the Weekend List
Happy November 1st, the Christmas season has officially started! Sorry, couldn’t resist. Oh, and it’s World Vegan Day, happy that too! I’m thrilled to have an extra long quiet Sunday morning with fall back, but not so much about changing clocks around the house. And does anyone want Halloween candy? I overestimated how much we’d […]
Butternut Rosemary Dressing
We’re having a lazy Sunday here, Miko burrowed himself and his toy under blankets in his office bed since it’s been an oddly foggy and chilly weekend. The sun did come out yesterday afternoon, so I took the chihuahuas for a long walk. Really long walk since they like to stop and smell everything! It […]
Weekend Fun
I have been thoroughly enjoying my long weekend at home relaxing, playing in the kitchen, and catching up on stuff like harvesting and freezing tons of tangerines from the tree in our backyard for smoothies, growing more sprouts, and minimizing clutter in the office. And playing with this sweet little guy of course. Also enjoying […]
Butternut Tahini Dressing
Today was one of those get-me-a-glass-of-wine-now days at work. I’ll spare you the details, but tackling big projects and growing pains is not fun mixed with the holidays and stressed out co-workers. But I think Leela is a little more stressed than me today. She’s been getting a little cranky when Miko or Smokey gets […]
Back Home
Sigh, back to the grind tomorrow after such a fun Thanksgiving week and more unpacking and laundry today. We were is Oxnard for Thanksgiving visiting my dad, it’s a lovely area on the beach in Southern California. The high was 80 degrees and our hotel had a pool and hot tub we lounged at for […]
Butternut Sage Soup
Ready for Thanksgiving yet? I’m not and really do not have a menu yet since we’ll be at a family members house. It will probably be a Trader Joe’s or Tofurky vegan roast with a couple of vegan sides, we’ll see! But it’s kind of nice to not stress about it this year, no crazy […]
Simple Gooey Curry Dressing
I am back home from the tech conference in the bay area and it is so nice to be back! We left at about 3:30pm on Friday to start the drive home and I got home around 6:30pm after dropping off my co-worker. Can’t complain about that when we were expecting traffic to be much […]
