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 […]
Sweet Tahini Dressing
It’s been raining pretty good here for the last few days and that’s great, we need it! But Miko is not interested in the rain at all, he’d rather snuggle in his pile of blankets. I can’t blame him, I’m tempted to do the same instead of leaving the house for work on cold, dark, […]
Mushroom Gravy Dressing
I’ve been putting it off for as long as possible, but yesterday I finally had three old fillings redone at the dentist. Glad it’s over and I’ll hopefully never have to worry about them again, but it sucked. And so did the bill. My entire mouth had to be numbed, so I had a smoothie […]
Spinach Quinoa
Good morning! I’m up early trying to prepare myself for a 7-mile training run while tweaking my running playlists. I saw this 10-minute video on Facebook yesterday and got mesmerized watching it. Philip Wollen does an amazing job of summing up all the issues in the world related to eating meat and how illogical it […]
Avocado Peppercorn Dressing
Things have been pretty lazy around here lately, well, for the dogs. Miko got snugly in his office bed where it’s never too hot for a fleece blanket. And Skipper has been switching between the cool floors and chihuahua beds. Hubby and I weren’t lazy Sunday, we drove to a hilly trail for a run. […]
Sweet Carrot Dill Dressing
Summer is definitely here with more days of triple digit heat and Miko is ready to party all the time. He loves bringing us toys to throw and he has a collection of them stashed all over the house. Getting up early and heading into an office is tough when the sun is shining and […]
Creamy Carrot Miso Slaw
Happy long Memorial Day weekend! And it’s been wonderfully relaxing here so far, though I need to catch up on some house stuff today. Last week was the perfect storm of chaos with work and home stress with hubby out-of-town. Thankfully he made it home safely and we had a relaxing, easy day yesterday of […]
Kale Pesto
Happy weekend! How’s yours going? A little too fast here, not sure I’m ready to head back to work tomorrow after last week’s business, but oh well. I adore kale and have it multiple times a day frequently between smoothies and salads. But I’m also in a bit of a rut with it using it […]
Curry Carrot “Rice”
Sunday was a busy, but fun day. To celebrate my niece and nephew’s birthdays, the family went ice skating. And I was having so much fun that I didn’t get any pictures! Well, we did on my sister’s camera, but they probably won’t be copied off the memory card anytime in the near future with […]
Cheesy “Noodle” Salad
I’m here, but it was nice to disconnect a little after a crazy week and catch up on house stuff. There is a lot going in at work, enough that our department is facing burnout. And I had some family drama this week that left me feeling a little drained and not creative in the […]
