Happy virtual Friday to me because I am taking tomorrow off! Okay, mainly to get adult stuff done before the holiday weekend running errands, having car maintenance done, and taking this sweet girl to the vet. She needs another teeth cleaning and I hope that’s still an option at her age of 13 and for some […]
Sweet Curry Dressing
Miko has decided he’s not a fan of alfalfa spouts, he was not eager to clean the floor when I dropped some making a huge salad. So he shared carrots with us instead which I used in this fun and sweet curry dressing. I’ve made curry tahini dressings in the past, but this one is […]
Garlic Avocado Sauce or Dressing
I am curious and hopeful about the benefits of garlic, specifically raw garlic. The platelet and cardiac benefits outlined by Dr. Greger here are very attractive for long term health. Not only is it great for the heart and blood flow, it also fights cancer. But raw garlic is strong, very strong. This simple avocado […]
Sriracha Peanut Dressing
I pretty much love any sort of nut or seed butter based dressing, tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, and sunflower butter are all awesome in dressings. As long as the dressings aren’t too heavy or rich and that’s what I found looking for a good spicy peanut dressing, many dressings called for 1/2 cup or […]
Smoky Peppercorn Dressing
We’re trying the dog beds with built in cuddle hoods again because the blanket chaos with the chihuahua beds is getting a little crazy. Leela is still not sure she likes this or has not figured this concept out even though she has no problems burrowing into blankets. I’m not giving up, eventually she’ll embrace these, […]
Smoky Roasted Potatoes
The last few days have been a drag for the pups, not enough walks with all the wind and rain. There has been a lot of pouting. And nasty looks. For some reason I have become obsessed with smoky flavors with all the rain, there’s something savory and comforting about a hot, smoke-seasoned dish. Where […]
Avocado Parsley Dressing
The rain is back this week which is a good thing, except when unhappy chihuahuas refuse to go outside. Oh the angry stares I got this morning through the patio screen. I get it, the weather was crazy today – heavy rain, strong winds, and even thunder and lightening which catches us by surprise here […]
Avocado Miso Dressing
Thank you for the kind words on the Shamrock’n half marathon, it’s been a tough training season which makes me look forward to better running weather ahead with a more aggressive training schedule. It’s been spotty this week while still recovering and keeping busy with work. But nice to rest a little. Sweet Miko continues […]
Avocado House Dressing
It looks like it will be perfect weather for the Shamrock’n half marathon this weekend, can’t complain about highs in the 70s and slightly overcast. Let’s just hope my performance can hang in there too because my legs are feeling tired after my final speed training session at the gym. The pups will be ready for […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
