It’s been a feisty week here so far, the chihuahuas seem to have spring fever. Miko has been taunting Leela more to play chase. Leela wants nothing to do with it and turns into a growling tornado when she’s decided she’s had enough. That’s Miko’s queue to hide under the table for a bit while she […]
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 […]
This Turmeric Dressing Makes You Feel Alive
This week started off strong, I was feeling good about starting my mornings earlier for more productivity before work and getting to the gym after a focused vinyasa yoga class on Sunday. Then things started getting crazy at work with lots of projects, urgent problems, and overtime. The IT world can just be fun and spontaneous like […]
Weekend List
Happy Easter. It’s also a big weekend here since it’s hubby’s birthday, lots of fun and eating with a family party later. I created a huge, nut-free raw vegan chocolate mousse cake recipe for the event and will be posting the recipe soon if it’s a hit. I successfully maxed out our 14-cup food processor […]
How Banana Makes A Salad Decadent
Hooray for the weekend almost being here. Leela and Miko agree, they’d like more walks and play time. And more carrots, they both come running into the kitchen now when I’m chopping carrots for a salad. Keeping a little container of chopped carrot “coins” in the fridge have been great, healthy, and inexpensive treats for […]
Weekend List
It’s been a quiet weekend here which is great after a busy week. I’ve been breaking in my new Brooks Glycerin 12s at the gym and for running, so far so good! I like that I didn’t have to go up in sizing in them for running like I did with the Nike Lunarglides, Brooks […]
Why Kale Makes Pesto Better
Whew, Friday is almost here. Pesto is awesome, right? It’s creamy, rich, savory, decadent, and has a lovely garlic kick. But the traditional recipes are too decadent packed with oil and cheese, it’s a greasy way to add too many calories, a nutritional nightmare! Basil is tasty and it smells heavenly. But it’s nutritional profile […]
Weekend List
It’s been a good weekend here so far even though we didn’t get as much rain as we were supposed to and my car is still a dirty mess! Miko has been loving all the attention with us home and doing stuff around the house. I had a girls night out Friday with my mom […]
Creamy Basil Dressing
Tuesdays aren’t my favorite day of the week. It’s still far from Friday and typically really busy at work and at the gym. It’s a long day that starts early in the morning when I drop the chihuahuas off at their daycare, or my mom’s house, before work and head to a busy gym right […]
Weekend List
Ah, it’s been a relaxing, lazy weekend here which is a good thing after a crazy week. The weather has been cloudy, foggy, and chilly, perfect for catching up on stuff inside and maybe watching a movie or two. Miko agreed, he was not thrilled with the chilly air on his long walk. He was […]
