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 […]
Lemon Dill Lentils and Quinoa
Happy weekend, finally! It’s been a long week at work and being on call after hours while adjusting to Skipper’s new insulin shot schedule twice a day. Yesterday I was feeling tired and cranky most of the day. It was hot and the air quality here was pretty smokey from a nearby wildfire, so I […]
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. […]
Dill Obsessed
So happy the weekend is finally here even if it is stinking hot with a high of 109 degrees today and triple digits for the rest of the week! The pups are not happy with the heat, Leela has been moping around pouting about the lack of walks. We’ve been enjoying some time indoors catching […]
Zucchini Dill Hummus
I feel much better now that the weekend is finally here and week-from-hell is over. Doggie balance has been restored in our house since I’m no longer dog-sitting my mom’s chihuahua and hubby is back home from his business trip, so Miko has his gaming buddy back. I’ve been putting my food processor to work […]
Tahini Dill Dressing
Back to reality after another fun weekend and summer is officially here with temps in the 90s and 100s, eek! The pups have been perfectly happy to lounge inside enjoying the air conditioning with hubby. And I’m happy to enjoy cool, hydrating, raw salads in the dry heat, especially when they’re coated in creamy tahini […]
Avocado Beet Soup
Whew, it’s almost Friday! I’m so glad after another weird and busy week at work. I’ve been in a stressed out funk the last two days with so much going on and I’m pretty sure the pups know it. They’ve been carefully watching and following me and being sweet little lap buddies when I finally […]
Creamy Dill Salad
What a day at work, ugh! One of those days where I didn’t even have a minute to catch my breath between putting out fires and I’m feeling the stress with everything I need to do tomorrow circling in my mind. It’s also been a super windy day making poor Miko frustrated about going outside. […]
Zucchini Dill Pate
I’m so happy it’s Friday eve and that hubby is almost completely rid of the flu, hopefully he’ll have all his energy back by the weekend. I haven’t caught it yet, but I’ve been dragging this week feeling more tired than usual and not wanting to get out of bed in the mornings, maybe I’m […]
