While at Barktoberfest on Sunday, I scored freebie bags of Bixbi Sweet Potato & Apple Flavor Bark Pops and have never heard of these before. I was surprised to find this flavor is plant based with a not-so-scary ingredient list. They’re like puffy, crunchy snack puffs for dogs. And Miko is a fan, both the […]
Roasted Curry Chickpeas
I love chickpeas in just about all forms, I could probably eat them daily and not get tired of them. And that’s what I’m doing this week since I slow cooked an entire 25 oz. bag to use during the week. And it makes a lot! Perfect for fast salads, stir fries, and even pet […]
Turmeric Hemp Dressing
Fall might actually be near with highs only in the 80s and lows in the 50s this week, woohoo! And Miko is ready for fireplace snuggling. Soon, buddy! I might even buy pumpkins this weekend, can’t wait! Turmeric is an interesting “superfood” with a lot of promised health benefits. After a quick google, I’m pretty […]
Spicy Kimchi Dressing
Fall must be near because it’s been chilly enough to need a jacket for our morning dog walks this week. Exciting! And Miko would rather hide in his pile of blankets than step outside. This dressing will warm you up with fiery and creamy flare thanks to a fun product hubby found at Costco – […]
Smokey Hemp Ranch Dressing
Sweet Leela has been very clingy lately following me around the house more and restlessly wondering. Maybe she’s bored, maybe the heat is getting to her, or maybe she just wants more attention. Or more broccoli and carrots because suddenly she’s a huge fan of them too now. You’ll want more of this comforting and […]
Savory Oatmeal with Bok Choy
When I want to try something new, I tend to order way too much of it. I decided I wanted to try adding oatmeal to smoothies and getting crazy with recipes, easy and fast recipes. So I ordered a six pack of this Nature’s Path Organic Quick Oats. Thank goodness for large pantries! I was […]
Tahini Thai Basil Pesto
I am screwed up this week between taking a few days off for camping last week, working Monday, then having yesterday off – what day is it? I’ll get back on schedule eventually here and caught up on sleep, having the 4th of July on a week night is kind of annoying when firework shows […]
Better Thousand Island Dressing
I am ready for Friday after this week and I think Leela is too since she’s been getting antibiotic doses twice daily to prepare for her teeth cleaning next week. Sweet Miko always shows up for her medicine time too to make sure she’s okay. This salad dressing could be considered a medicine too because […]
Cayenne Lemon Quinoa
Ah, Friday is almost here! I am looking forward to a more laid back and productive weekend with great weather and no races planned. Miko is ready for long walks and play time. I don’t know why it took me so long to try toasting hemp seeds because they came out great in this quinoa […]
Summery Lemon Dressing
June is here and wow, still processing that. Leela is not sure she’s ready for walks in triple digit heat. Summer also means loads of watermelon, fresh salads, and cooling smoothies. This summery dressing is bright and cooling with a poppy and tangy lemon flavor. Many lemon dressing recipes use sugar, salt, and oil for […]
