What a week and it’s only Wednesday. More like Thursday since I’m taking Friday off for a long weekend. I need it, we need it. And it’s supposed to rain all weekend here which is cool because we need that too. Our weather for Easter Sunday was perfect, I enjoyed a great morning run and […]
Dilly Hummus Dressing
It’s interesting that Miko’s diet has adapted so much to ours. As soon as he hears me chopping carrots or broccoli in the kitchen, he comes racing into the kitchen because he knows I’ll share. He gets so excited, you’d think I’m tearing open a bag of phony bacon or some other awful processed dog treats. […]
Celebrate Summer
My schedule is still goofed up from our camping trip and getting a day off, lots of catch up and I have not been feeling too motivated after two very crazy days at work. I kind of wish I was still parked in a comfy chair at the campsite enjoying peaceful nature because it was nice to […]
Simple Sweet Dressing
Leela is still not happy about the triple digit heat here, she kind of wanders around the house restless and seems a little more on edge being stuck inside. But it’s too dangerous to take them for long walks during the worst of the heat. Miko agrees, he’s still fine with chilling inside. I’m fine […]
Fermenting & Getting Inspired by Dr. Neal Barnard
The week is chugging along here, sweet Miko was sitting in the office with me this morning waiting for something exciting like walk time. My exciting week-long wait for home fermented sauerkraut is over and now I have two huge bowls of probiotic garlic dill sauerkraut stashed in the fridge. I’m sad to say that I have […]
Creamy Summery Garlic Dressing
I’m sad the long weekend is over and it was back to the grind today, but we have more fun planned next weekend and a short work week! Memorial Day was very low key here, my mom came over with her super energetic dog, Dasher. All three dogs instantly started competing for her attention, she could not get […]
Better Ranch Dressing
Poor Leela is still having sinus issues. We learned at her last vet appointment that she’s still battling a sinus infection and possibly allergies which have been really bad for pets this year too with the drought. She’s hanging in there and happy to hang around the dinner table reminding us we could be sharing. […]
Mint Cocoa Smoothie & Summer Dressing
Happy, relaxing weekend! Well maybe not for Leela. She’s pouting about Smokey discovering her favorite bed by the fireplace and hogging it. Looks like we need to pick up another bed! I’ve been enjoying decadent chocolate mint smoothies the last few days thanks to NuNaturals NuStevia Cocoa Mint Syrup. I should probably be coming up […]
Weekend Random
This has been a relaxing, casual weekend where I caught up on stuff around the house and worked a little on my goals for 2015. So this will be a bit of a random post. It was especially relaxing for the pups, they kept warm by the fire while Smokey took in her favorite show. […]
Simple One Pot Broccoli Quinoa
It’s hot again, triple-digit heat all this week. And it’s getting to poor Skipper who has been crashing froggy-style all over the house. Poor old guy comes in from the evening walks and just crashes in the front hall until he has energy to make it to his cooling hammock bed. I keep reminding him […]
