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 […]
Garlic Ginger Dressing
Leela is getting a little tired of me this week, a little huffy that I’m not spending enough time with her. And she’s discovered a new way to get my attention by sitting under the coffee table growling and woofing when I’m watching TV. Clever girl. Skipper is his usual happy-go-lucky self eagerly following me […]
Curry Carrot “Rice”
Sunday was a busy, but fun day. To celebrate my niece and nephew’s birthdays, the family went ice skating. And I was having so much fun that I didn’t get any pictures! Well, we did on my sister’s camera, but they probably won’t be copied off the memory card anytime in the near future with […]
Another Potluck for WIAW
It’s Wednesday, so happy What I Ate Wednesday! I had my usual smoothie to go for breakfast which consisted of a scoop of Garden Of Life’s Plain Raw Protein powder, a banana, an orange, chunk of fresh ginger and beet, carrots, kale, and cinnamon. For lunch I went to a work baby shower/pot luck that […]
Curried Quinoa & Broccoli
I’ve been a little obsessed with this refrigerated package of simply pre-cooked lentils from Trader Joe’s. For a few dollars, it has 5 large servings that are ready for soups, salads, or any other fast weeknight creation. And it comes in a packed loaf that’s easy to slice into servings and break apart. Last night […]
Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup
The rain has been letting up a little, but Miko is still not happy about going into the backyard. Skipper could care less, he has no problem going outside to do his business while getting drenched. He does care about food and lots of it because this dog is always hungry, he gets breakfast, dinner, […]
Santa Came Early & Simple Sauce
After a busy day at work yesterday, I came home to a fun surprise from hubby – early Christmas! A cute little Christmas tree with two similar sized gifts for each of us. And inside was…. A new iPad Air! I’m so excited because this is my first iPad! I use a work iPad for […]
Mock Pumpkin Pie Soup
Fall is really in the air here and I love it. I love what the leaves on our trees are doing. I want to go on a hike or bike ride this weekend collecting fall leaves. And maybe visit a pumpkin farm. And enjoy more of the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! Yeah, I’m ready for […]
Spicy Avocado Dressing
It’s been a busy week at work, not bad, but non-stop. Since last weekend and this weekend will be busy, I decided to take Friday off work. No real reason, just to have a little more down time and catch up on stupid errands. Problem is my to do list for the day is growing […]
