We still have a house guest, my sister’s kitty, who is full of personality demanding attention, letting us know when it’s dinnertime, and getting creative turning anything in the house into her toy to get our attention. She is a cute sweetheart and it has been fun having a cat in the house again. I […]
Celebration Eats for the List
Happy Easter. We’re having a low key dinner at my Dad’s today that I am making multiple recipes for. And we have a house guest this week, my sister’s cat while they’re on vacation. She seems to be pretty happy with us finding her favorite sleeping spots, getting treats, and aggressively begging for attention. I’ve […]
Recovering for the List
I am here and recovering from something that has been going on for 10 days now. Not COVID, at least according to the many home tests. But a stuffy, annoying respiratory thing with congestion, headaches, and lacking energy. Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine’s Day were kind of a bust because of it, but I have […]
Fall and Fun for the List
Hello October! I am ready for turning leaves, pumpkins, and cooling temps. And diving into the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! It’s been a busy week here still settling into a new job. Since I travel to multiple sites throughout the day, packing lunches have been a challenge which I’m working on getting more organized for […]
Creamy Dijon Dill Dressing
Still accepting that it’s July already, where is 2019 going? It is also my virtual Friday because I am taking actual Friday off, so woohoo for a 4-day weekend! I think I need it too because I did not want to get out of bed this morning and was envious of Miko snoring away while […]
Easy and Bright Summer Salad
Hope you’re having a great week. It’s been a little tricky to get back into work mode after a relaxing long weekend, but I’m getting there. I’m also getting back to healthier eating after weekend fun eating. One food you will always find in our pantry is raw shelled hemp seed. I love these! I […]
Summery Dressing
It may be May, but it’s cool and rainy here and will be for the next week or so. Not complaining, I am happy to enjoy more rain and cooler weather to be more appreciative when the summer heat arrives. And, California always needs the rain. Miko is not happy, he is pouting about not […]
Sauerkraut Dressing
I had to throw the towel in and email my doctor because after 2 weeks the cough and cold symptoms were not going away. So I’m on 5 days of antibiotic to tame possible infections which can cause other challenges killing good bacteria too. So I’m throwing in more pro and prebiotics this week with […]
Cherry Dijon Dressing
We’re still kind of waiting for spring here with more rain and storms this week, the pups seem especially frustrated with rain interrupting evening walks. Poor Miko rushes out to the back yard excited for fresh air, comes to a halt and looks back at me and pouts about the rain. But I am not […]
Simply Powerful Garlic Dressing
Miko would like the weekend to be here, he’s ready for more couch cuddle time with hubby. Me too. I’ve been hitting my usual grind of home elliptical workouts or gym treadmill workouts after work and simple veggie stir fries. I was so excited to find zucchini and yellow squash at Costco, love those in […]
