Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there! I celebrated with my mom yesterday and trying to have a productive day at home today which is turning out to be just as lazy as I prep for a busy week. Leela is doing fine and got good news from her vet appointment, her eye […]
Springing into the List
The weather is warming up here, but that does not stop Miko from blanket snuggling. It’s never too hot for blanket snuggling for him, even in the summer he sleeps under a comforter all night while I’m waking up in hot flashes. Ah, the perks of being in my 40s. Leela is hanging in there, […]
Getting Better for the List
This weekend seemed to fly by too fast, but it was a productive weekend. We still have my mom’s dog, Dasher, while she is recovering from hip replacement surgery and he is a, uh, portly dog. He’s a sweetheart, but could stand to loose a few pounds and gets tired on long walks with Miko […]
Odd Week for the List
It has been a strange and disorienting week starting very early Monday getting my mom to the hospital for hip replacement surgery. Since then, it’s been a busy schedule rotating with my sisters helping her recover, staying overnight for the recommended hours of monitoring, working, and still dealing with this damn cold. Thankfully things are […]
Spring Cleaning for the List
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Doing anything fun? Green beer? Not here, we went for a run, tackled house work, saw a movie, and went to Costco which was actually great since it wasn’t crowded for the holiday. I may have even forgotten to wear green, oops. Last Sunday’s meetup at Vegan Plate worked out okay […]
Fresh, Not Compromised
Even today, it can be hard to find great vegan options at a restaurant that serves a range of dietary preferences and needs. Too often I’ve had watered down salads, french fries, and/or dry veggie burgers that were a compromise to accommodate everyone. Chef John Van Huynh at Pho Fresh is passionate about pleasing everyone […]
Great Eats & Celebration for the List
Wow, this weekend flew by too fast. But it’s been a fun weekend with some decadent eating and fun in the vegan community. I tried to keep eats healthier and whole food plant based at home during the week with oil free roasted potatoes and butternut squash soup, veggie tofu stir fries, and curried potato […]
Embracing Winter for the List
One of my goals for 2019 is to reduce my disposable plastic use and trash in general and have been spending a lot of time on the Zero Waste Subreddit It’s not easy with personal care items and so much food coming in plastic! So it’s been baby steps switching to shampoo bars, trying alternative […]
Running Into the Week for the List
I’m a little sad the weekend is almost over, after a busy week, I’m not sure I’m ready to head back to work tomorrow. Oh well, hoping for a great week. Running has just been eh the last few days, I’ve been getting runs in, but not hitting the pace I’d like and dragging a […]
Tahini Banana Dressing for the List
Well what did you think of the Superbowl? For me it was just eh. But jeez Hyundai, really? We had a fun low key day at home in the rainy and windy weather, I sorted more stuff and have a growing stash to donate again. The pups had lazy days with the cold, wet weather. […]
