Happy first day of spring. It wasn’t very spring-like today with thunderstorms and hail! But I’m not complaining about getting rain and the sun should be back tomorrow. I am celebrating spring with this simple dressing. I love just about all berries, great in smoothies, oatmeal, and frozen in wine. They’re also great in a […]
Simply Powerful Garlic Dressing
Miko would like the weekend to be here, he’s ready for more couch cuddle time with hubby. Me too. I’ve been hitting my usual grind of home elliptical workouts or gym treadmill workouts after work and simple veggie stir fries. I was so excited to find zucchini and yellow squash at Costco, love those in […]
New Cheese and Lighter Ginger Dressing
The dogs are having a rough week here relaxing in front of the fireplace. And I’m still trying to up my running pace with treadmill interval workouts, but that’s been tricky this month. Stress, anxiety, and the winter weather have me just hanging in there with my gym routine currently. But I need to get […]
Simple Dressing & Running
It’s been an interesting week with ups and downs as the holidays get closer, but I think we’re pretty much ready and I’m looking forward to a little time off after Christmas. It’s been chilly here, so Miko has been making his backyard trips as brief as possible preferring lap cuddle time. I have been […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
Sweet Curry Sauce
This week has been about using stuff up in the freezer and pantry because things were starting to get a little crazy just trying to close the freezer and find stuff in the pantry. I have a stash of Amy’s frozen meals I tend to buy when they’re on sale and enjoyed the Black Bean […]
Better Mediterranean Dressing
Aw Wednesday, Friday would be better and sweet Miko agrees because he has been ready to play every evening. It’s been an interesting week so I really treated myself with this salad with olives, hearts of palm, chickpeas, and corn. And such a blend calls for a kicky Mediterranean dressing that isn’t loaded with oil, […]
Fun Peanut Dressing
Miko loves his Lambchop toys so much I have to buy them in 3-packs to have backups on hand when one gets destroyed or is in the wash. He has a basket full of them that he loves to dig through and pick one for our evening toy throwing session. I dug out an ingredient […]
New Summer Dressing
Yes, California is on fire again and the increasing number of wild fires here every summer and fall is scary. We’re still getting smoked out from the large fires north, the view from our backyard is icky. Climate change is real and scary and my heart aches for those losing homes or worse. Okay, too […]
Another Summery Dill Dressing
It’s hot this week with most days over 100 degrees and we’re feeling it. Even though we’re trying to stay in the AC during the hottest times of the day, I just feel more tired and drag more (and sweat more) at the gym. Leela has been sleeping more inside. The heat does strange things […]
