Hi, popping in with a quick post again because it’s been another busy week at work with lots going on. I’m taking a couple of extra days off next week for my birthday and really looking forward to that down time now. Hopefully things will be settling down soon. I’ve been keeping things simple for dinner with […]
Super Balsamic Basil Dressing
We’ve been enjoying that it hasn’t been as hot here with temps in the 80s and low 90s, Miko loves a little toy throwing time in the backyard. And I noticed our basil plant is going nuts, thriving in the crazy heat. Expect a lot of basil recipes from me over the next few weeks! […]
Sweet BBQ Dressing
Whew, happy Friday eve! Popping in with a quick recipe because it’s been a busy week! We’re still going through a lot of corn here, I love that the fresh stuff is in season and cheap and I got more in the farm box. I decided to use it in a fresh, BBQ themed salad. But […]
Creamy Chili Dressing
Miko is recovered from all the excitement on the 4th of family fun and fireworks. He took nap time very seriously between play sessions on our day off yesterday. But was not happy with me for leaving him at home this morning when I left for work. I felt the same after four fun days off with family, fun, […]
Simple Sweet Dressing
Leela is still not happy about the triple digit heat here, she kind of wanders around the house restless and seems a little more on edge being stuck inside. But it’s too dangerous to take them for long walks during the worst of the heat. Miko agrees, he’s still fine with chilling inside. I’m fine […]
Nacho Avocado Dip
This week is almost over, whew! I’m looking forward to some fun this weekend too, the last few days at work have just seemed to drag on. I think I have summer fever, road trips and adventures sound much better in the sunny, warm weather than being in an office. So does having outdoor parties […]
Super Broccoli Soup
I’m so happy tomorrow is Friday, I’m looking forward to rest and fun after this work week. And catching up on laundry, eek! Miko has been cuddling up to hubby a lot this week looking for play time, he gets restless and bored with us working all day. I wish I could take Miko to work, […]
Spicy Peanut Dressing
At Whole Foods over the weekend, I impulse bought a quinoa starter plant to add to our garden. It looks like a weed, I would never have guessed it produces such a hearty grain. From what I’ve been reading, we’re not gonna get much from it and it will only grow about 2′ tall. But […]
Creamy Summery Garlic Dressing
I’m sad the long weekend is over and it was back to the grind today, but we have more fun planned next weekend and a short work week! Memorial Day was very low key here, my mom came over with her super energetic dog, Dasher. All three dogs instantly started competing for her attention, she could not get […]
Simple and Flavor Packed Salad
Whew, Friday is almost here. It’s been a busy week, except for the chihuahuas who have been little couch potatoes. I think Leela is pouting at me for not enough walks and attention. I spent all day today at an IT conference which is always a nice break from work for learning and networking. And […]
