Happy virtual Friday to me because I am taking tomorrow off! Okay, mainly to get adult stuff done before the holiday weekend running errands, having car maintenance done, and taking this sweet girl to the vet. She needs another teeth cleaning and I hope that’s still an option at her age of 13 and for some […]
Zingy Avocado Dressing
The chihuahuas have a serious case of the lazies this week and are sticking to their cozy fireplace beds. At most they shift to a different blanket or bed. And occasionally fight over who gets to claim the fuzzy red blanket. Rough life and I’m actually very jealous with such a busy week at work. […]
Sweet Basil Dressing
It’s back to the grind after a fun 4-day birthday weekend, another year older. But I had fun and got some great gifts. Lots of eco-friendly goodies, books, and Blooming wrapping paper that grows from my mother-in-law, so sweet! Tuesday my mom and I went to the California State Fair where I took in inspiration […]
Simple and Flavor Packed Salad
Whew, Friday is almost here. It’s been a busy week, except for the chihuahuas who have been little couch potatoes. I think Leela is pouting at me for not enough walks and attention. I spent all day today at an IT conference which is always a nice break from work for learning and networking. And […]
How Banana Makes A Salad Decadent
Hooray for the weekend almost being here. Leela and Miko agree, they’d like more walks and play time. And more carrots, they both come running into the kitchen now when I’m chopping carrots for a salad. Keeping a little container of chopped carrot “coins” in the fridge have been great, healthy, and inexpensive treats for […]
Tangy Sunchoke Quinoa
We’ve been getting a lot of rain this weekend and that’s good and so are the cool looking clouds. Miko does not agree, he and Leela are getting a little frustrated and bored. I’ve been catching up on a lot of cleaning and a little experimenting in the kitchen. Last week I scored a huge […]
Warming Balsamic Dressing
Tuesday … well at least it’s no longer Monday. Everyone is back from vacation at work this week, but things are not slowing down and I’m thinking I need to take a few days off! Maybe hang around the house and look pretty like Smokey. Or take the pups for long walks, Leela is always […]
Cranberry Banana Dressing
Miko is still not digging the chillier weather and he’s gonna be really upset over the next few days since we’re supposed to get a super storm with mass amounts of wind and rain. But he’s been getting a lot of indoor play time with hubby. And I’ve been trying to get play time for […]
Dijon Banana Dressing
Yay, Friday is almost here. These full work weeks after a week of vacation are brutal! I’m already looking at my work calendar to plan another day off…or two. And looking forward to the weekend and hoping we can get a Christmas tree if the weather lets us, it was too rainy last weekend. Miko […]
Sweet Dijon Dressing
I’m still ready for fall. Seriously, come on cooler breezes and turning leaves. And maybe a little rain if we’re lucky. It’s still hot here and poor Skipper is getting tired of it too. We can’t take him for walks during the daytime because it’s still just too hot for the poor old guy who’s […]
