Hello and happy Friday eve! I’m ready and ready for the smoke to go away! Things are still pretty smokey here, the morning and evening dog walks are gloomy. Not pretty and so terrible for those really affected by these fires. We’ve been trying to stay inside more and enjoy colorful meal salads, chilled watermelon, […]
Settling into 2017
It was great having yesterday off work, we stayed home most of the day in the rainy and windy weather working on projects, hubby fixed our fence with our neighbor, I cleaned and sorted out the closet and made some other minor repairs I’ve been meaning to get to – so nice. Today was back […]
Simple & Chill Eats
Happy almost Friday and I am grateful the weekend is almost here. I’m also grateful for my sweet hubby for always being such an amazing person. I’ve been focusing on a lot of positives this week with so much craziness. I knew it’s been coming for awhile and I’ve been putting it off for as […]
Cauliflower Cheesy Sauce
First thing every morning, I send the chihuahuas to the backyard to do their business and they’re still not happy about the chilly, morning air and can’t wait to come in for breakfast. And I can’t wait for the weekend! It’s been a crazy week and salads are a comfort food for me when things […]
Simple Savory Cauliflower Soup
Almost Friday and that’s great, I’m ready! I’ve been flying solo this week with hubby on business travel which sounds a lot more relaxing than it is working all day and maintaining the house and pets in the evening. But I picked up something at Whole Foods last weekend to treat myself with over the […]
Weekend List
Ah, it’s been a relaxing, lazy weekend here which is a good thing after a crazy week. The weather has been cloudy, foggy, and chilly, perfect for catching up on stuff inside and maybe watching a movie or two. Miko agreed, he was not thrilled with the chilly air on his long walk. He was […]
Creamy Garlic Carrot Dressing
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, wow. The last two weeks have been a bit of a blur, can’t believe the year is almost over. At the same time, I’m ready for 2015 because 2014 was a little rocky and sad loosing Skipper. Then Shadow. We miss them both and still get sad. But I did […]
Cauliflower Alfredo Dressing
Wow, tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Ready? I think I am, but I’m noticing more stress this year with a crazier work schedule around Christmas. Even Smokey is looking a little more stressed and she just hangs around the house. Miko is not happy with me for not making enough time to play with him. He’s […]
Farmer’s Market Finds
Yesterday was a lazy day here with temps in the triple digits, that’s just too hot to spend much time outside! I got a morning run in and a little yard work done before things got ugly, but then we just hung around inside. Skipper was very happy to pass out on his cool hammock […]
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 […]
