It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
Comforting Eats for Tough Times
We’re still here with very frustrated dogs! Currently our air quality status is hazardous from the Camp Fire just north which is the worst rating I’ve ever seen. That rating basically means don’t go outside without a mask and it’s been consistently bad every evening since Friday so no evening walks for us. I’ve been […]
Stuff We Ate
It’s been a busy week, I just have not been feeling too creative in the kitchen beyond focusing on using stuff up and keeping dishes mostly whole food plant based. But this sweet potato tofu curry saute came out great. I chopped up a large sweet potato and simmered it in a little veggie broth, […]
Fast & Simple Week
Happy Wednesday I hope, it’s been a busy, dragging type week here. But we did have a nice Mother’s Day having my mom over for dinner. We chatted on the patio with wine and dogs competing for lap time while hubby prepared a Gardein Holiday Roast with roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts. The roast was […]
Air Fryer & Amazing Vegan Dinner for the List
Yuck on losing an hour with spring forward this weekend, it would be nice if this whole daylight savings thing just went away. I feel like I’ve lost more than an hour today, but did get in a decent run. Running is going better finally, the breathing issues are getting better and I’m considering getting […]
Slowing Down for the List
Happy Easter! We’re getting ready to head to a family party – always looking forward to great company, good food and wine. Miko and Leela are not happy with me because the weather is wet and rainy again today and I need to figure out how to get them out for a walk soon. I […]
Kitchen Time for the Weekend List
I am feeling much better after a few relaxing days off and the pups have been happy to relax with me snuggled in their beds. A little frustrated with the weather, lots of wind and rain the last few days and it’s supposed to be even worse tomorrow. Leela has been bummed about not getting […]
Christmas 2016
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I am thankful to have today off work, much needed after the busy holidays. For most adults, the day after Christmas is more like Christmas – the pressures of the holiday celebrations are over, no more cooking or rich eating, and hopefully a relaxing time to enjoy gifts. I’m […]
Simple, Healthy Meals
Sweet Leela is a senior chihuahua who loves her long walks dearly, but crashes in a comfy bed for hours after. After our super long walk last weekend, even Miko crashed for hours in his clean and comfy blanket. I’m ready to crash after this week of working and training. It has not been an […]
Creamy Ginger Garlic Dressing
When I went vegan … wow, over 6 years ago now, I thought seafood was going to be the toughest to give up. But jeez, watch some of these disturbing seafood videos on NutritionFacts.org and it’s not so hard! Especially when vegan alternatives keep getting more amazing. Hubby was a crab cake fan before going […]
