Since I had some free time in the kitchen today, I decided to get a little crazy trying a complicated recipe that I’d never attempt on a weeknight. Apparently I was making such a mess running around the kitchen manically, Leela was getting a little nervous. And Smokey, well, was not. Even hubby took one […]
Creamy Curried Lentils
Our little dog party is over, my mom picked her chihuahua up today after giving them all a little lap time. So we’re back to having just two in the house. I think Miko is a little sad not having another male buddy around, he was pouting. It’s rough getting pushed around by bossy Leela, […]
Scraping the Barrel for WIAW
Yay, tomorrow is Friday – oh wait, damn! For some reason I keep thinking today is Thursday, not Wednesday. After the crazy week it’s been, it just feels like the weekend should be closer and especially since it’s a 3 day weekend. Even Miko is looking a little worse for wear bundled in his bed […]
Noodle Tempeh Stir Fry
Now I remember why I’ve been holding off for so long on replacing my car – car shopping is a pain in the rear! I’m spoiled by having a reliable car that’s been paid off for over 7 years. But browsing the prices, payments, insurance costs, etc. on a new car is frustrating after so […]
WIAW: Back to Basics
Wow, I actually remembered to snap pics for WIAW today! I’m surprised considering how this week has been going at work – anything buy quiet as the weeks between Christmas and New Year’s have been in the past! Breakfast: My usual weekday smoothie-to-go packing Sunwarrior Ultimate Chocolate Protein Protein powder, a heaping spoonful of Vitamineral […]
Hurry Tofu Curry
The weather is dreary, chilly and gray and my shopping trip to Whole Foods was test of patience to say the least. But I’m still giddy because tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have 4 days in a row off! It’s gonna be a totally chill Thanksgiving for us with family splitting off in other directions […]
Keeping it Simple While Under the Weather
Friday night I got a nasty surprise, I started feeling awful – tired and achy with a pounding headache. By Saturday morning, I was parked on the couch nursing a full on migraine, feeling nauseous and feverish, and cursing my luck for getting sick on a weekend. I should have seen this coming since there […]
Case of the Blahs
This weekend flew by too fast, again. Working 5 hours of overtime yesterday didn’t help. I’m thrilled my job is busy and to have the opportunity to earn extra money, but… Besides working, I’ve been catching up on house chores, breaking in my new Lululemon running pants, and walking these two cuties. Who have been […]
Raw Curry Pate
Things are getting wild around here in the evenings! Miko is so happy when we’re both home, he turns into a wild man tearing around the house, chasing our other chihuahua, and chomping on his toys. He’s obsessed with his stuffed green toy that’s about the same size as him, so funny to watch him […]
Protein Quinoa & Hempy Cheesy Sauce
Wasn’t the moon this morning gorgeous? Even though I was running slightly late for work, I still had to step out in the backyard in the cold and dark to try and snap it with my macro lens and got some okay shots. But my night time photography skills still need a lot of work. […]
