This work week felt like it would never end, but thankfully it did and the weekend is here. And rain is in the forecast pretty much all day, our first major rain storm in months here. It’s a great excuse to stay home and catch up on house projects like the mountain of laundry, vacuuming […]
First Race Award and Wheat Berry Salad
No luck with getting Skipper to use his doghouse in the backyard yet, but Miko is happy to claim it! I’m hoping to get Skipper comfortable in it soon because it started raining early this morning and Skipper let us know he was not happy about it in the backyard even though he was under […]
Cucumber Dill Soup
I’m still here, a little discombobulated after a few days of stress and trying to figure things out. Things have been a bit chaotic since Skipper, a lost/abandoned rat terrier, walked into our garage last Friday night looking for help. And he’s still very content here. And loves spending time with hubby on the couch. […]
The Weekend
Another weekend flew by too fast, wow! It’s been a little chaotic here because we’re dog sitting again, this time for my dad’s husky mix while he’s out of town and she’s a sweetheart. But a little more of a challenge since she’s a senior dog, she takes medicine multiple times a day and needs […]
Garden Eating
Mondays are tough enough, but even worse coming back from a week long vacation of fun. And it’s been tough getting back into normal eating mode after a lot of fabulous eats, but not having much in the kitchen and not feeling like grocery shopping helps. We have a build up veggies from the garden […]
Cucumber Hemp Soup
Yesterday was a nightmare, I felt like I got shot in the stomach most if the day and still recovering today. After a lengthy doctor’s appointment, turns out I had a bladder infection that was starting to wreak havoc on my kidneys, not fun! A day into antibiotics and I’m starting to feel human again. […]
Cucumber Noodle Salad
Happy Friday Eve! I’m celebrating with a post-workout glass of wine after another loooong day of work stress and cruddy weather. It’s been a nice evening here relaxing inside by the fireplace while it stormed outside and playing with a little guy that was very happy to have me home. He still absolutely adores his […]
WIAW & Green Hummus
I’m relieved this week is more than halfway over because I’m exhausted with stress. I actually overslept my alarm this morning, I remember setting it before bed, but woke up 20 minutes past it to find it was off. Somehow I turned it off and don’t remember. Scary! Note to self: get to bed earlier […]
Mesquite Noodle Salad
One of my splurge buys at the Living Light Marketplace was mesquite powder, something I’ve never worked with before and didn’t know much about. It looks and smells a lot like raw cacao powder with a rich, chocolaty smell. And it seems like it’s used in a lot of raw chocolate desserts and savory chili […]
Sprouted Lentils & Eggplant
Happy Thursday … wait, it’s only Wednesday. Rats! At least it hasn’t been a bad week. And we’re getting absolutely perfect weather here, bright, sunny, in the 60s with a slight breeze and I can’t complain about that. Or the beefcake I was treated to when I checked the mail. And for once he was […]
