Miko is not sure about competing with hubby’s latest craze – Farm Heroes Saga. Apparently it’s like Candy Crush with a different twist and I’ve avoided installing Farm Heroes since I’m frustratedly stuck in Candy Crush. After Sunday’s half marathon, I was feeling a little wiped last night… and sore. So it was such a […]
Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup
The rain has been letting up a little, but Miko is still not happy about going into the backyard. Skipper could care less, he has no problem going outside to do his business while getting drenched. He does care about food and lots of it because this dog is always hungry, he gets breakfast, dinner, […]
Balsamic Beet Quinoa
Thank goodness Friday is almost here! Leela agrees, she has been extra cranky this week around the other two dogs, especially when they get near her food or comfy bed. We’ve had Skipper for, wow, almost 6 months now and Leela is still not happy to have him around growling and barking when he gets […]
Recipe Experimenting
It’s been a lazy whatever Saturday here. I know, that sounds super exciting, right? But I kind of had a case of the blahs after an oddly busy week at work, off-and-on sinus fun, and helping a sick family member with flu/stomach virus symptoms while trying not to get sick myself. Still keeping my fingers […]
Ginger Orange Dressing
So happy the weekend is finally here! And we might get some much needed rain today, it’s overcast and breezy outside. Perfect weather for staying at home and tackling a long list of cleaning and other projects. One of these days I will successfully capture a video of Skipper’s happy dance because he does the […]
Raw Protein and Dill Dip
Skipper out of the blue today became obsessed with a cat toy and did not want to give it up. We had to rescue it before he ate the fluffy end, though that would have been interesting. I guess that means he’s feeling better and becoming more stabilized on his current insulin dosage since he’s […]
Spicy and Cheesy
Where did the weekend go? Things just seem like a blur with Christmas next week! I’m excited and looking forward to all the fun and festivities and a few days off work, but a little scatterbrained checking off my lists and getting ready. So this post will be an interesting mesh of random. Miko is […]
Split Lentil Soup
This week is moving quickly, Wednesday already! And tonight is our last night of freezing temps for awhile and that’s alright with me. And the chihuahuas too, hopefully they’ll be more willing to go outside! Tonight they’re happy to park it by the fireplace. Skipper is happy to thoroughly check the kitchen floor for more […]
Quick Cheesy Sauce
I survived my 7.5 mile leg of the CIM Relay yesterday in frigid 27 degrees, barely! When I arrived at the start of the leg, I didn’t want to leave my warm car as I watched other runners uncomfortably dash to the start in skimpy running clothes. I finally did. For the race, I layered […]
Sage Carrot Dressing
Remember 3rd Rock from the Sun? A show from the 90s about aliens sent to Earth and how they observed humans. It was one of my favorite shows, hilarious with classic Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And the start to the Thanksgiving episode was precious when they went grocery shopping before Thanksgiving and thought it was the Apocalypse. […]
