It’s been hot here the last few days and Miko knows how to spend hot days – snuggled in his favorite blanket enjoying the air conditioning! I plan on spending similar time for the long weekend ahead! Eggplant has always been a challenge to prepare for me, frying attempts in the past has resulted in […]
Eggplant Quinoa
The drought here is scary, lots of water conservation warnings and disturbing images of dried up rivers and lakes. We’ve put our garden plans on hold until conditions improve to conserve water, so we have a lot of dry dirt pots in our backyard with no plants. Skipper has decided they make good beds. We’ve […]
Farmer’s Market Finds
Yesterday was a lazy day here with temps in the triple digits, that’s just too hot to spend much time outside! I got a morning run in and a little yard work done before things got ugly, but then we just hung around inside. Skipper was very happy to pass out on his cool hammock […]
Eggplant Hemp Hummus
We’re babysitting my dad’s senior husky mix this week and enjoying her sweet personality. As for Leela… well, not so much. She’s still not warmed up to our house guest and maybe it has something to do with nearly having her dinner eaten every night. For our dinner, I tore into a new bag of […]

Struggling Through It
This has been a frustrating week since I’m still dealing with the last minor, but annoying cold symptoms of congestion, sinus headaches, energy sags, and sleeping issues. It’s going around everywhere here at work and in the family, but just when I think the symptoms are gone, a scratchy throat flares up again or a […]
Curry Chickpea Stew
Well happy Monday, I hope it treated everyone well. Mine was okay, but I felt pretty scattered at work trying to get back into the grind while mentally preparing for the holidays. Monday’s aren’t typically my most productive days, so adding a layer of holiday complication did not help! Luckily I got it together by […]
