I hope everyone that celebrated it had a great 4th of July and no burns or hangovers today. It’s nice to get some rest time today after planning, shopping at Costco, and cleaning for yesterday’s party. We hosted a family party at our house where my nephew was the only kid there, but he had […]
Why Broccoli Makes Better Hummus
Poor Leela is still having a rough time with allergies and was back to the vet today. Over the weekend, she turned into a little hunger monster that had to pee a lot! Not like her at all and I got paranoid about possible bladder infection, diabetes, etc. Nope, it was just the prednisone she […]
Balsamic Hummus Dressing
That rear end sticking out from under the blanket is Leela. She’s been in a cranky mood the last couple of days with a sniffly cold and having to compete with Miko and my mom’s dog for attention. And I’m in a cranky mood with work being busy, so busy that even I’m almost too […]
Potluck and Chocolate Syrup
Whew, I’m here and recovering from a busy week. I’ve been in Sacramento for the last two days for all day IT certification training and all that new information in a short amount of time can be exhausting. I need to gather my notes and study the material to take an exam in the next […]
Burgers and Other Fabulous Eats
I’m sad that it’s over, but it was a nice and relaxing long weekend. Lots of cuddling lap time with this little guy. While Skipper has been content to chill inside and enjoy the air conditioning. There have been a lot of great eats this weekend like this simple kale salad I threw together for […]
Kitchen Playing
Happy Sunday, gah, it’s Sunday already?! And we lost an hour with spring forward – dirty trick! It was nice to disconnect a little bit after such a busy week at work and chill a little at home with these sweet office buddies. And catch up on house work and errands such as finally getting […]
Vegan Broccoli Quinoa Soup
I’m very ready for this week to end. Excuse me while I whine about work for a minute because everyone is sick with some sort of flu again. Three people in our group were out either sick or caring for a sick kid and I spent the day juggling 14 things at once with constant […]
Holiday Time
Whew, the last few days have been a blur of making a mess of my kitchen, cleaning it, running, shopping, and getting ready for the holidays and another family gathering last night. But I’ve also been sleeping in and cuddling with sweet pets in the chilly weather here, it’s been heavenly to have a few […]
Getting Back to Normal
After a long day at work, it was nice to get home and relax with these guys. Not sure Miko was ready to relax, he sat eagerly in my lap determined to not let me catch up on my Words With Friends games. Maybe he’s right, having 15 active games is a bit much. A […]
Gym Time & Snacking
I did a crazy thing yesterday – joined a gym. It’s only $10 a month and gives me access to a lot more cardio and weight equipment and allows me to mix up my workouts more. And it’s just a couple of blocks from my job, easy access for after work workouts. I tried the […]
