We’ve been enjoying that it hasn’t been as hot here with temps in the 80s and low 90s, Miko loves a little toy throwing time in the backyard. And I noticed our basil plant is going nuts, thriving in the crazy heat. Expect a lot of basil recipes from me over the next few weeks! […]
Sweet BBQ Dressing
Whew, happy Friday eve! Popping in with a quick recipe because it’s been a busy week! We’re still going through a lot of corn here, I love that the fresh stuff is in season and cheap and I got more in the farm box. I decided to use it in a fresh, BBQ themed salad. But […]
Creamy Chili Dressing
Miko is recovered from all the excitement on the 4th of family fun and fireworks. He took nap time very seriously between play sessions on our day off yesterday. But was not happy with me for leaving him at home this morning when I left for work. I felt the same after four fun days off with family, fun, […]
Summery Garlic Hemp Dressing
Sunday we headed to IKEA for lunch and a little shopping where I finally tried IKEA’s new vegan veggie balls. IKEA has always been okay to eat vegan at offering salads, soups, and veggie wraps, but hardly anything exciting enough to justify waiting through the long weekend line. I waited it out because I was […]
Creamy Summery Garlic Dressing
I’m sad the long weekend is over and it was back to the grind today, but we have more fun planned next weekend and a short work week! Memorial Day was very low key here, my mom came over with her super energetic dog, Dasher. All three dogs instantly started competing for her attention, she could not get […]
Simple and Flavor Packed Salad
Whew, Friday is almost here. It’s been a busy week, except for the chihuahuas who have been little couch potatoes. I think Leela is pouting at me for not enough walks and attention. I spent all day today at an IT conference which is always a nice break from work for learning and networking. And […]
Raw Vegan Version of a Classic
Friday is almost here, thank goodness! And Miko is thankful for zucchini scraps he gets when I break out my vegetable spiral slicer. Summer approaching means soon zucchini will be everywhere here and I’m looking forward to loading up on massively huge ones at farmer’s markets just so I can use my spiral slicer for […]
Salads Can Be Gooey and Cheesy
Miko is a little bored with me this week. I’m still feeling washed out with this cold, but it’s almost gone! Thank goodness, I’m ready after 5 days of it! Colds can cause some interesting food cravings for me, anything salty, fatty, and/or sweet which are bad options for energy crashes and feeling even more […]
How Hemp Seeds Can Be Creamy Comfort Food
It’s been a feisty week here so far, the chihuahuas seem to have spring fever. Miko has been taunting Leela more to play chase. Leela wants nothing to do with it and turns into a growling tornado when she’s decided she’s had enough. That’s Miko’s queue to hide under the table for a bit while she […]
Weekend List with Dessert Inpiration
Yesterday we had a fun taco family gathering at my sister’s house with plenty of vegan options starting with whipping up the Whole Fruit Margarita recipe in the Vitamix recipe book. And I got brain freeze because it’s been awhile since I’ve had a frozen slushy drink! There was also tortilla chips with fresh made […]
