I’m still ready for fall. Seriously, come on cooler breezes and turning leaves. And maybe a little rain if we’re lucky. It’s still hot here and poor Skipper is getting tired of it too. We can’t take him for walks during the daytime because it’s still just too hot for the poor old guy who’s […]
Coconut Curry Dressing
I miss the long weekend already, it was quiet and relaxing and somewhat productive. Shadow slept most of it during the days so he could run up and down the halls screaming at 2am. I spent some time studying for an IT certification exam with a happy chihuahua in my lap. And ate this simple […]
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 […]
Hemp Cheddar Noodles
Fall is getting closer because spaghetti squashes are showing up in the stores. I pretty much like all squash, but these are one of my favorites just for the fun factor. I grabbed this cute little organic one over the weekend. And it inspired this new cheddar hemp sauce for a cheesy noodle squash bowl. […]
The Fix for Foodies & Pesto Quinoa
Yesterday I headed to Nevada City for a vegan meet up at The Fix for Foodies hosted by Kayle of Cowgirls & Collard Greens. I’ve been there before, but it’s been awhile, so I jumped at this opportunity to hang out with familiar vegan friends and meet new vegans. Nevada City is about an hour […]
Breathbones & Brazil Nut Pesto Dressing
I got adventurous this week and ordered V-dog Breathbones with our usual kibble order from V-Dog. Skipper does not always have the freshest breath and he loves to chew, so I’m always looking for vegan ways to keep him busy. I ordered the small size to try so the chihuahuas could try them too and […]
Festive Lentils and Quinoa
It has been nice to relax and tackle a little housework so far this weekend after a busy week. Skipper agrees, he’s been covering his hammock bed with more fur and dirt for us to vacuum. Poor Miko is a little bored with us, he was ready to play and play after a quiet week. […]
Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup
Almost Friday, woohoo! And it’s still hot here, high of 106 degrees for the weekend. Perfect weather to go see a movie inside! It’s a problem with the dogs, we have to be very careful when we take them for walks and how long they stay in the backyard. So we’ve been doing lots of […]
Ginger Dressing and Party Weekend
It’s that time of year already, my birthday. Well, not until early next week, but I’m taking a couple of days off work to make it a long celebration weekend. And the weekend started off nicely when I came home to these gorgeous roses from hubby. Then we headed out to The Chef’s Table for […]
Tomato Avocado Dressing
This is shaping up to be a busy week with lots going on at work, another work potluck, and two days of training in the city for me. That’s all good, except Miko would like me to make more time to play with him. And Skipper would like more walks. He does his happy downward […]
