I am finally starting to feel “normal” again after over a week of the flu, but getting back to the gym has been tough with a cough still sticking around. The sweet chihuahuas have been very patient despite the lack of walks during my sick time and now rain, poor guys. Smokey has been happy […]
Dijon Thyme Dressing
It’s been awhile since I’ve been sick, really sick with a fever and too weak and dizzy to walk. Sunday I cut my 6 mile run short when I started feeling funny and achy at mile 3. By the evening I had a triple digit fever, headache, cough, and achy. Apparently there were multiple bugs being passed around […]
Veggie Ginger Rice
The pups are a little annoyed with me and the weather, it’s been windy and raining the last two days. That’s great, we need it in California! But even Leela won’t step outside when wind gusts rush inside as soon as I open the door. Thankfully we get a break in the rain tonight and […]
Golden Beet Dressing
Wow, Christmas is less than a week away! And I’ll be spending a good chunk of the weekend recipe planning and grocery shopping between seeing Star Wars with hubby and running. I wonder if Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods will be crowded?! It’s all good and I’m ready to enjoy low-key family gatherings because it was a […]
Easiest Lemon Hemp Dressing
Our Christmas tree is finally up and I put enough lights on it for a few trees I think! Christmas cheer is in the house too, these two have been peacefully sharing the cuddle cube bed in front of the fireplace which is rare. And lemon trees are in full bloom, I scored a huge […]
Butternut Sage Dressing
Leela has been a little antsy lately, restlessly following me around the house. And even doing her cute little meerkat pose at the dinner table for extra attention and carrot nibbles. Maybe the holiday stress is getting to her. Or maybe she can’t wait for her presents. I think she’s gonna love the new bed we got her. […]
Creamy Fennel Dressing
We might actually get rain tomorrow … in California. Can you believe it? I am loving the cooling temps for a change, but Miko is not so sure. He’s in a hurry to get through our morning walks before work because it’s chilly now. I’ve been trying to compensate with more playtime inside having 15 minute […]
Spicy Ginger Peanut Dressing
Good news, Friday is almost here! And it actually got a little cool here and rained this week! Not a lot, this is California, but it was something. And I had to giggle at all the women at work wearing high boots because it actually got down to the 70s. It’s still too hot for […]
Creamy Zucchini Basil Sauce
Did I mention the chihuahuas love simply steamed spaghetti squash? Especially mixed with V-Dog Kibble. Every time I steam one from our garden, I have to share and they really go gaga for it! Thankfully it’s good for dogs too, low calorie, nutrient-dense, wet fiber is good for everyone. And spaghetti squashes are an easy […]
Cinnamon Fall Dressing
We’re still here struggling to stay cool, it was 108 degrees when I left work for the gym today! And even worse tomorrow, yuck! Miko has been a little tired of being stuck inside. And I’m trying to channel fall and cooler temps with this simple and light salad dressing. It’s sweet, has a warming […]
