At Whole Foods over the weekend, I impulse bought a quinoa starter plant to add to our garden. It looks like a weed, I would never have guessed it produces such a hearty grain. From what I’ve been reading, we’re not gonna get much from it and it will only grow about 2′ tall. But […]
Super Tangy and Probiotic Salad
Miko is recovering from his vet visit last week to have two teeth removed and he’s almost done with his medication which we’ll both appreciate not having to deal with pills twice a day! Leela is happy to tunnel herself into blankets this week, she’s been feeling anti social. I don’t blame her after having […]
Cauliflower Can Be Creamy and Delicious
It’s feeling like summer already here with lots of sunshine and making it difficult to face spending a day in the office. I’ll probably be singing a different tune when we hit triple digit heat, but for now we’re enjoying more time playing in the backyard. Miko loves racing around for his toy. Not Smokey, […]
Spicy Citrus and Ginger to Wake Up a Salad
Leela is getting revenge. She’s put up with Miko stealing parts of her dinners and breakfasts for years because she’ll only eat part and come back for more later … if there’s anything left. Not anymore! She’s been going after what’s left in Miko’s bowl this week and seems to have more of an appetite. Can’t […]
Why Smoothies Are the Best Fast Food
When it comes to smoothies, there are many different directions you can go from a light serving alternative to fruits and veggies to a full on hearty meal replacement. I’m more of a meal replacement girl, smoothies are my go to for fast, healthy, energizing, and nutritious meals on the go and my favorite for […]
Hot Pink Fun Salad
We’re getting through the week here and Miko has been restless looking for more play time. Me too, buddy, me too! Leela is doing a little better with her allergies/sinus infection, not as much sneezing and sniffling and her appetite and bladder have settled down now that she’s off medication. And they’ve both been looking […]
Another Awesome Ginger Dressing
Friday is almost here and Miko is ready, he thinks we’ve been working too much and not playing with him enough. I agree! Time to start thinking about using vacation time! He did enjoy the little bits of carrot I fed him while making this dressing because can you ever really get tired of tahini […]
Weekend List
Boo on losing an hour this weekend, I feel it! Miko doesn’t seem to notice, he’s been up to the usual of making sure the floor around our dining table is clean. And Smokey’s usual is carefully observing what’s going on around the house. I’ve been having no stress this weekend, playing with projects such […]
Sweet Broccoli Curry Soup
Spring is starting to show up here, I spent some time admiring our blooming tree in the backyard with a beautiful sunset. And Miko was not happy with me for forgetting to let him out too, oops! Yes, that is a holiday mat. So what? :-) We have not bought new ones for spring yet. […]
Sweet & Spicy Tahini Dressing
Miko has recovered from our dog-sitting weekend and is happy to have hubby’s lap all to himself again. And Smokey is happy to have her favorite red blanket back and not have to hide in our closet. I’m happy to be stocked with a lot of tahini in the pantry, I could eat it […]
