Ah, thank goodness the weekend is almost here! There is more rain in our weekend forecast, but I’m not gonna let that bug me for Sunday’s training run. At least that’s the plan, we’ll see. :-) Sweet Leela has been very clingy and hungry lately and even tolerates more hugs. I worry about her because […]
Dilly Hummus Dressing
It’s interesting that Miko’s diet has adapted so much to ours. As soon as he hears me chopping carrots or broccoli in the kitchen, he comes racing into the kitchen because he knows I’ll share. He gets so excited, you’d think I’m tearing open a bag of phony bacon or some other awful processed dog treats. […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry Sauce
Rain, rain, and more rain sums up this week! That’s cool, we need it and I can’t complain when it rains all week and we get perfect weather for the weekend. But the poor pups are not happy at all! It’s not easy coaxing them outside with 40+ MPH wind gusts, Miko would rather sit […]
Lemony Fresh Dill Dressing
Happy Tuesday! Yeah, Friday would be better. I am feeling much better after Sunday’s 10k and had decent run at the gym today. I also got to chat with the young co-worker who smoked my time to congratulate her. Sadly she didn’t seem too impressed with her pace and was upset at the amount of […]
Fiery Peanut Dressing
The rain is back and so are some frustrated and bored chihuahuas. We got winds so strong last night, 60 MPH gusts, that poor hubby had to prop up another section of the fence and the pups will have nothing to do with going outside in that! Miko is pouting now too. And constantly wants […]
Creamy Dijon Quinoa with Kale
Yesterday we got a slight break in the rain and this gorgeous view. Today the all day rain was back and Miko back to refusing to go outside when when he could be toasting his belly instead. I got into dry toasting quinoa before cooking it. Previously I was fearful to get too aggressive with […]
Hemp Ranch Dressing
I’m feeling better after a bumpy week. Thanks for the sweet well wishes on my dad, he is doing better and we’ll be making a trip to visit him later this week. So I may not get an opportunity to post again until the weekend. Smokey is not interested in drama, she is more interested […]
Getting Ready for Fall Salad
It’s still hot, a couple of days of triple digit heat here this week. But hints of fall are starting to show up, leaves are starting to turn in our front yard and the sign is up for the Spirit Halloween store already. I’m ready, bring on the pumpkin spice everything. I might even experiment […]
Spicy Tahini Dressing
Hello August, that means cooling fall temps and turning leaves are getting closer! And fireplace cuddly time which Miko is all about. But since temps are still hot, I’m still celebrating summer with vibrant salads and fun blender salad dressings. Trust me, you’ll want to make this one. It’s tangy, creamy, slightly sweet, and has […]
Lemon Hummus Dressing
Things are still crazy at work and hot here, 108 degrees the next 2 days. The poor animals are getting a little restless locked in the air conditioning all day, Smokey has been couch stalking hubby for more attention. And Miko is always nearby waiting for anything exciting to happen. Leela is has been stalking […]
