I am still working through a lot of spaghetti squash from our garden and must plant more next year since it seems to be a top producer! That’s great for the chihuahuas, they both love simply steamed spaghetti squash added to their dinner bowls. But last night I was drawing a blank on what to do with […]
Simple Tangy Avocado Dressing
Thursdays can be tough during a busy week sometimes feeling like I just need to make it to Friday, especially before a 3 day weekend – woohoo! It’s not tough for Smokey, everyday is a weekend day for her basking in the sunshine or snuggling in her favorite couch blanket all day. The chihuahuas find […]
Super Cheesy Hemp Sauce
Happy Tuesday, hope your week is going good! I’m feeling energized after a good workout at the gym and recovering from Sunday’s 9-mile run. I’d like to be one of those runners who can just run lots of miles all the time, multiple marathons a year and tons of energy. I’m starting small tackling longer runs on […]
Simple Savory Cauliflower Soup
Almost Friday and that’s great, I’m ready! I’ve been flying solo this week with hubby on business travel which sounds a lot more relaxing than it is working all day and maintaining the house and pets in the evening. But I picked up something at Whole Foods last weekend to treat myself with over the […]
Crazy Carrot Miso Dressing
Leela is getting a little demanding lately letting me know when it’s her play time, walk time, and meal time. I can’t blame her, I feel like there is not enough time for everything I want to do this week. But Friday is getting closer and I did create a fun new version of my […]
Simple Creamy Dill Dressing
Smokey has been enjoying sunbathing time in the summer heat. And attacking hubby through the curtains for a little play time. Sounds like the life to me, I’d happily trade the last two days at work for it! No lazy summer days for us lately, but I’m celebrating what’s left of summer with another simple summery […]
Smokey Cheddar Dressing
Friday is almost here, whew! We’ve been busy with work and home projects here lately and Miko gets frustrated when hubby isn’t paying enough attention to him. He climbs around his lap and does cute little stretching tail-wagging antics to get his attention. And I’m back at it with large meal salads in our hotter […]
Ginger Broccoli Quinoa and Lentils
Happy Tuesday! Okay, I know, but at least it’s not Monday. Trying to come up with a hearty, healthy, and creative dinner after a long day is challenging to say the least. I wrote this recipe on a whim to create a simple, one pot meal and was barely feeling throwing it together after my […]
Summery Balsamic Dressing
Whew, almost done with the triple digit heat days here for a bit! Smokey chooses to snooze inside and enjoy the air conditioning. Can’t blame her, I guess spending the days in an air-conditioned office isn’t so bad either. And Miko is happy to spend indoor cuddle time with hubby. I’m still into cooling, summer […]
Kicky Tomato Dressing
My long birthday weekend is going well, I could get used to relaxing mornings to take the dogs for leisurely walks, go to the gym, drink coffee, go for runs outside, etc. It’s back to the grind tomorrow after another day of fun today and I guess that’s a good thing too. My niece made […]
