Whew, it’s proving to be a tough week. Skipper, our sweet diabetic senior dog that moved in with us last year, has taken a turn for the worse. Since his odd spell almost two weeks ago, he’s been having good and bad days, mostly bad days this week which is heart breaking. He’s not into […]
Cinnamon Banana Dressing
Wow, October is here already! It’s an awesome month for vegans in Northern California starting with the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge running during the entire month. Basically a bunch of restaurants create fabulous vegan menus to compete against each other for votes and anyone can try these unique dishes and vote for their favorites. It’s […]
Sweet and Tangy Dressing
It’s been a challenging week and I will just leave it at that and focus on this adorable pic of Miko trying to steal a watermelon rind from me, he was not giving up! With all the events over the weekend and craziness this week, I didn’t realize that Skipper’s 1-year anniversary with us passed. […]
Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup
Almost Friday, woohoo! And it’s still hot here, high of 106 degrees for the weekend. Perfect weather to go see a movie inside! It’s a problem with the dogs, we have to be very careful when we take them for walks and how long they stay in the backyard. So we’ve been doing lots of […]
Holiday Spice Balls
Are you ready for Christmas? I think I am… maybe. Miko is with his new reindeer toy. Stuffing started coming out of his last toy and this little guy is heartbroken if he doesn’t have a favorite small toy to play with. So I caved and gave him one of his Christmas gifts early and […]
Hemp Nog
It has been a crazy week at work with co-workers taking days off for Thanksgiving, on baby leave, and calling in sick. Non-stop stress and running around with too much multitasking makes work days a blur and my brain feeling mushy at the end of the day. But I’m in a great mood because I’m […]
Broccoli Mash & Butternut Pudding
Lately I’ve been watching random shows and movies on Netflix during home workouts and I decided to watch Forks Over Knives last night. I’ve seen it before, but it’s been over two years and I decided I needed a refresher on all the information. I’m glad I watched it again to rejuvenate healthier eating habits […]
Cinnamon Maple Dessert Balls
It’s been a relaxing weekend so far here with a little lap cuddle time while I catch up on Breaking Bad. A huge kale salad from Whole Foods with home made smokey avocado rosemary dressing. Stepping out to see Captain Phillips. And what a great movie. I was hesitant to see it because the trailers […]
Cinnamon Crazy
Where did this weekend go? Oh yeah, it was spent doing lots of fun stuff and eating. Yesterday we had a huge birthday party for my niece with tons of family and friends, it was a packed house. My sweet mom made a huge batch of seasoned olive romaine salad using the recipe from Peas […]
Cinnamon Raisin Dessert Balls
Woohoo, tomorrow is finally Friday and I am ready to end this week! I’ve been feeling a little tired and drained from work stress and having my sleep interrupted from being on call for work and it’s catching up to me because I was craving something sweet with dinner. I have no medjool dates in […]
