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 […]
Butternut Cardamom Quinoa
I am glad the weekend is here, 5 day work weeks are brutal after a blissfully long Thanksgiving weekend! The weather is still crazy, freezing cold rain most of the night and snow flurries today! Enough to stick around our patio for a bit until the sun came out and melted it away. Pretty rare […]
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 Comfort Food
Well hello, Monday, what are you doing back so quick? It was a productive weekend banging out chores and pulling off a 9-mile run for half marathon training. After a day full of rain Saturday it’s starting to feel like fall here finally! The pups are enjoying the cooler temps. It’s almost chilly at night […]
Raw Balsamic Butternut Soup
Thank goodness Friday is almost here, I’m ready. And tomorrow is a big day for Skipper, he goes to an all day vet appointment to test his blood sugar, plasma, and other stuff to find out what’s going on with his canine diabetes and if the current insulin dosage is working. I feel bad about […]
Cinnamon Hemp Sauce
Another weekend flew by too fast and today seemed to drag at work even though it was busy. Or maybe I just had a case of the Mondays after such a nice-weathered weekend. Meanwhile the dogs are having a totally relaxing Monday. Rough life. Last week I got a cute little butternut squash in our […]
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year’s Eve! Hubby and I are having a quiet evening at home watching movies, playing video games, and playing in the kitchen. I’ve never been a huge fan of celebrating New Year’s, when we’ve gone out to parties in the past, we rarely had much fun – too much alcohol, drunk strangers, crazy […]
Balsamic Butternut Mash
Thankfully this has been a much better week at work and in general. No windshield cracks and I got most of my Christmas shopping done. With that stress out of the way, I’m really starting to feel festive while enjoying our tree. And cuddling up with a sweet hubby and pets on a chilly night. […]
One Sauce for Multiple Meals
Miko had a great weekend toasting in front of the fireplace and playing. I wish I could say the same, but I’ve been in a funk the last few days feeling cranky, tired, maybe slightly stressed about the holidays and money, and frustrated. It’s a pretty common thing for me in November for some reason, […]
