After a beautiful weekend in the 70s, Old Man Winter reappeared this morning with temps in the 20s and everything covered in frost. But it was beautiful with the sun rising over the frozen foggy fields, so crisp and cool. Miko disagreed opting to toast his rear in front of the fireplace. The last few […]
Cheesy Curry Sauce
This week is moving along and that’s a good thing heading into a 3 day weekend. And it’s Fat Tuesday, something I’ve never celebrated because indulging on a weeknight is not fun if it means being bloated, cranky, and hungover for work the next day. It’s just another weeknight here with Miko making the rounds […]
Goals and Curried Carrot Soup
Happy 2013! I know, I’m a day late. But yesterday was a wonderful relaxing day at home. I went for a run to break in my new shoes, played games, watched movies, and moved a couple of mountains completing house chores and taking down Christmas decorations. Thanks to the help of my mom, we had […]
Creamy Carrot Noodle Salad
Wait, how is it Sunday night already? Another weekend vanished too quickly! Keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll be a quieter week at work with the New Year’s mini break, we’ll see. We got a bunch of organic beets in our farm box this week and, due to lack of creativity, I decided to throw […]
Back At It
They last few days have been nuts at work with so many people still on vacation. And I’ve had a bit of the blahs having to be back at work right after the holidays and trying to catch up on housework. But I did get a nice package this week from Nelsons Natural World thanks […]
Down Day with Simple Eats
Last night was an exciting night for us, hubby’s band had a pretty big gig opening for another band at a bar. It was their first biggish gig teaming up with another band in a public show and what an experience! It was also a long day for me, I had to dash home right […]
Soggy Chill Weekend
It’s been an interesting weekend with the skies looking pretty angry for most of it. And plenty of gusty rain to go a long with them, not pleasant to be outside in at all! So, with the exception of a few errands, we stayed inside and enjoyed the Christmas tree and decorations. And played a […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry
When I got home after another long work day, Miko was ready to party following me around the house with his toy ready for throwing! We had an extended game of fetch. And tug-of-war. But he’s still ready for more. And I’m ready for our first mini-blast of winter tomorrow with temps dropping 20 […]
Simple Tomato Salad
So glad the weekend is finally here, I’ve been in a funk the last two days with a cold and craziness at work. And I’m still trying to get rid of the last bits of this cold and be ready to run a 10k race tomorrow morning – ugh! Poor Miko has been looking a […]
Spicy Seitan and Carrot Ginger Soup
I’m sort of into seitan now because it’s as versatile and easy to prepare as tempeh while packing a lot protein – more than many meat products. I was pretty excited when I found a new seitan flavor to try this weekend from Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Why have I never tried any of their […]
