Formerly The Raw Project - Running on a Healthy Vegan Diet
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Miko was not happy with me on this dressing recipe, he didn’t understand why I wouldn’t share. Don’t worry, I shared plenty of carrots and beans with him. But this recipe packs raw garlic which is not good for dogs. But powerfully good for humans compared to cooked garlic. It also has raw ginger and […]
I have a love/hate relationship with my current gym that prompts me to look at other options occasionally. Sure, it’s only $10 a month and they have a plentiful number of treadmills. But it also has crowded and chaotic seasons which we’re in now – everyone wants to look good for summer I guess! There […]
Miko has been a little frustrated with us this week, he wants more walk time and play time in the warmer weather. But it’s been an intense week at work and my turn to be on call this week. On call weeks are more draining for me even if there’s little to no activity, just […]
