So happy the weekend is finally here! And we might get some much needed rain today, it’s overcast and breezy outside. Perfect weather for staying at home and tackling a long list of cleaning and other projects. One of these days I will successfully capture a video of Skipper’s happy dance because he does the […]
Broccoli Hummus Soup
This area is in a pretty serious drought now and sadly Folsom Lake is at a record low water level. But the low levels are exposing remains of a old gold rush town that was flooded in 1955 when the dam was completed. Hubby and I decided to check it out over the weekend to […]
Vegan Feast and a Giveaway
Happy New Year! I’m grateful for being off work today for taking down Christmas decorations (not fun), settings some New Year’s goals (fun), and catch up on a little cleaning (not fun). Last night hubby and I headed to another vegan meetup dinner in Sacramento where touring vegan chef Joshua Ploeg created an impressive menu […]
Dijon Asparagus & Quinoa
On Thursday I went to another vegan meetup at El Papagayo in Sacramento and it was a great way to continue celebrating good friends and good food after Christmas. I have never been to this gem of a restaurant before, but will be going back soon! It’s not an all vegan restaurant, but they have […]
Nectar Cafe Meetup
Today I attended another local vegan meetup thanks to Facebook Group Power to the Veg! This time it was in Auburn to try out a new vegan restaurant called Nectar Cafe and it was a great time chatting with local vegans, I could have easily stayed for a few more hours! I took the EV […]
Leftovers and More Leftovers
Can’t believe this blissfully long weekend is almost over and I have to go back to work tomorrow. Sigh. Oh well, it’s been a great weekend of relaxing, running, working out, shopping, and eating – oh my the eating! Friday night I took a break from Thanksgiving leftovers and headed out to Baagan for a […]
Baked Kabocha for the Weekend List
Happy fall back, we’ll be changing all the clocks in the house today – yay. But at least it will be light for driving to work in the morning for a little longer. On the other hand, the sun will be setting much earlier and soon it will be dark when I go to work […]
Vegan Chef Challange at Tower Bridge Bistro
Good morning, I’m up early before the sun again this morning, but thankfully got a good night’s sleep last night and feeling much better. Amazing how emotional and drained lack of sleep can make me feel, not fun! Last night hubby and I had another amazing dinner out for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge, I’m […]
Vegan Chef Challenge at The Porch
Happy weekend! I had a very relaxing day off yesterday that started with leisurely drinking coffee and catching up on news in our office in the morning instead of rushing through my emails before getting ready for work. And I had three office buddies keeping me company. I spent the rest of the day getting […]
Indian Feast
I’m glad the weekend is here, but it’s gonna be a busy one for us with housework, errands, a long run for half marathon training, and a big gig for hubby’s band that involves a lot of driving and planning. I love all the activities, but will also enjoy a little downtime after a hectic […]
