Things are kind of a blur here after two really busy days at work, Thanksgiving planning, marathon planning, Christmas planning, Rouxbe Cooking Program, and trying to help update the local vegetarian society websites. That’s all good busy though and Miko wants nothing to do with it, snuggling under blankets and in front of the fireplace are […]
Creamy Cilantro Dressing & Hazelnut Treat
Like me, the pups are tired of politics and have been acting a little rattled all evening. I think even Smokey is a little clingy following hubby and I around. I’m choosing to focus on vibrant salads instead because gorgeous, fresh veggies always makes things better. Especially when coated with a kicky and creamy tahini […]
Going the Distance for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! It is nice to relax a bit, I’m feeling more caught up and chilled after a busy couple of weeks. Friday night hubby and I stepped out for spicy Thai vegan comfort food – I just adore this simple cashew tofu stir fry. I’m getting more into the fall spirit and have been […]
Easy , Whole Food Eats
Happy almost Friday! I’m ready for some downtime this weekend after our whirlwind trip. I still feel like I’m catching up on sleep, laundry, etc. from it and have not had much recipe experimenting time. But I did try this treat I scored at Grocery Outlet – Parsnip Chipotle Lime Cilantro Snip Chips. Crunchy with a […]
Easy One Pot Meals
Smokey had the right idea Sunday, snuggle up on the couch all day. I was tempted after my long run and long week! But laundry and house work called and so did these World Peas BBQ Fava Crisps for an afternoon snack. I wasn’t sure what to expect – can fava beans make a good […]
Tough Training Week
It has been a tough week with work, heat, training, and other challenges. It was still close to 100 degrees when I left the gym at 6 pm today, I am ready for fall! And it’s coming, check out the leaves on our tree! Training has been tough this week, the heat and work stress […]
Getting Ready for Fall Salad
It’s still hot, a couple of days of triple digit heat here this week. But hints of fall are starting to show up, leaves are starting to turn in our front yard and the sign is up for the Spirit Halloween store already. I’m ready, bring on the pumpkin spice everything. I might even experiment […]
Marathon Training is Getting Real
Happy Friday Eve! It is nice to chill and write after busy work days and 3 days of intense running workouts in a row. Yeah, 5 running workouts this week in the triple digit heat – things are getting real with marathon training! And 4 of them have been on a treadmill at the gym, […]
Cooling Salads
I have been a boring person this week bogged down with work and maybe a little cranky from the stress and heat. Thankfully this week is almost over and it won’t be so hot next week and hopefully quieter at work. The pups will love an opportunity to get outside more. When we get triple […]
Simple Meal Inspiration
It’s the simple pleasures in life for Miko, his day got a lot more comfy when he discovered the fresh and clean folded up comforter on the couch. I’m venturing out of my comfort zone pushing more miles and running workouts and a lot of the weekday workouts are on a treadmill at the gym. […]
