With everything going on in the northeast, I almost felt bad about enjoying our perfect weather today … almost. Since hubby is feeling much better, we decided to get out for a bit for a little wine tasting and enjoying the scenery at a winery that is practically in our backyard, Dono dal Cielo. And […]
Avocado Curry Dressing
Back to the grind today after a fun weekend and it could be a crazy week being on call and lots going on at work. At least the weather was beautiful today and I got some play time with Miko and his giant stuffed toy outside. He follows us all over the house dragging it […]
Banana Curry Dressing
I’m still on a documentary watching kick during my home workouts browsing through Netflix’s selection and checking out recommendations based of ones I’ve watched already. The latest documentary I just finished is Life in a Day, a beautiful, raw, and haunting look at July 24th, 2010 as captured by people from around the world. It’s […]
Back At It
They last few days have been nuts at work with so many people still on vacation. And I’ve had a bit of the blahs having to be back at work right after the holidays and trying to catch up on housework. But I did get a nice package this week from Nelsons Natural World thanks […]
Down Day with Simple Eats
Last night was an exciting night for us, hubby’s band had a pretty big gig opening for another band at a bar. It was their first biggish gig teaming up with another band in a public show and what an experience! It was also a long day for me, I had to dash home right […]
Ginger Hemp Pate
I’m feeling much better after my little pre-holiday funk, not stressed about tomorrow at all and had an easy half day at work and now a long holiday weekend full of family and food ahead, can’t complain about that! We will be having a chihuahua party here for the next two days watching my mom’s […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry
When I got home after another long work day, Miko was ready to party following me around the house with his toy ready for throwing! We had an extended game of fetch. And tug-of-war. But he’s still ready for more. And I’m ready for our first mini-blast of winter tomorrow with temps dropping 20 […]
Spicy Seitan and Carrot Ginger Soup
I’m sort of into seitan now because it’s as versatile and easy to prepare as tempeh while packing a lot protein – more than many meat products. I was pretty excited when I found a new seitan flavor to try this weekend from Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Why have I never tried any of their […]
Ginger Tahini Dressing
It’s been mostly pleasant here lately with temps in the 80s and plenty of sunshine, I’ll take it over triple digit heat! And the dogs have been enjoying playing in the backyard. Miko loves his Santa toy lately and I need to sneak it into the laundry soon because it’s getting crusty again! Last […]
Fast Carrot Ginger Pate
Thankfully I’m feeling better today, less congested, and hoping to attempt a long run shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed! Yesterday I ended up doing a workout at home on our elliptical while getting engrossed in Forest Gump. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and I was saturated in sweat – whoops! Hubby and […]
