We are ready for Friday here, poor Miko has been following me around the house for more play time. And Smokey would like to remind me that it’s cat box sterilization time again this weekend. One more thing for my chore list. After a busy day, I treated myself to a hearty dessert this week […]
This Nut-free Cake Pleases Everyone
I’m still recovering from the fun-loaded weekend after being on call for work, celebrating, running errands, and our Easter celebration. I need a weekend from the weekend! But it all went good and we had a huge and active Easter celebration at my sister’s house with family, friends, and way too much food. Thanks to […]
Chocolate Mousse Cake
Miko has discovered a new game called stash treats in the couch. I found quite a few cleaning over the weekend which made him very excited. The thought of heading back to Las Vegas makes me excited because I have a soft spot for the Wynn Las Vegas. I did a huge report and presentation on […]
New Year’s Eve and Cacao Book
Happy New Year! The pups celebrated by enjoying their new beds by the fireplace. And we celebrated by going to a Vegan Soul Soirée hosted by the Sacramento Vegetarian Society with an amazing menu and book signing by Joshua Ploeg, The Traveling Vegan Chef. The event was held at an interesting rustic riverside cabin\campground because […]
Mint Chocolate Hemp Milk
Thanksgiving is just a few days away and I still have not completed a menu. This year we’re having a very small scale Thanksgiving at our house with just my mom and a lot of dogs, so I’m not too worried about it. I’ll probably finalize my ingredient list and hit the grocery store on […]
Simple Soft Serve
Happy Halloween! I’m typing this between running trips to the front door to hand out candy and we’re getting a lot of trick-or-treaters! Hubby did an awesome job on our jack-o-lantern. And we’ve got three pouting dogs in the backyard. Skipper has a hugely loud and booming bark that rattles us every time the doorbell […]
Chocolate Mousse Cake
Monday again – arg! That’s okay, I’m relaxed after a nice weekend and a fast 3.2 mile treadmill run at the gym after work since it’s actually raining too hard today to run outside. Saturday we had a pleasant family BBQ at my sister’s house for visiting family and, as usual, my dinner plate was […]
Mint Chocolate Pudding
Happy long Memorial Day weekend! We started celebrating early yesterday by eating out twice, yikes, I know! But it was so nice after a busy week. First I met hubby at Baagan for lunch for this weeks salad trio. A tasty pineapple glazed bok choy, walnut rice, and green salad with shiitake dressing. Then we […]
Easter Weekend
Even though it was a busy weekend, I still miss it! I had a great 6-mile run Saturday training for an upcoming 12k race. And had enough energy to take the dogs for a long walk after to visit grazing sheep in our neighborhood. They all came to the fence to get a closer look […]
Chocolate Therapy
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, hope your plans for the big day are for fun and great, healthy food. Ours are up in the air since poor hubby arrived home from his week of business travel with flu symptoms running a fever all of yesterday, coughing, and no energy. Miko, with his dirty toy, has been a […]
