Sweet Leela continues to mellow with age, she enjoys long naps after walks and pretty much most of the day. She even lets Miko share her bed without protest now which would have been unacceptable not that long ago. Miko wanted to share this dressing with me, but that wasn’t happening with sriracha in it!

Healthy Hacks
I am a bit out of it today, I had a long dental appointment yesterday I’ve been putting off for awhile to finally get old work re-done and having an achy mouth and not being able to enjoy certain foods since has made me a little cranky. But that’s temporary and I’m thankful to finally get […]
Apple Cinnamon Dressing
It was actually nice being stuck at a desk today after yesterday’s half marathon, my legs are feeling the miles! There are few times I can appreciate resting and being lazy like the day after a half marathon, so I enjoyed a little extra time in the kitchen to experiment with a new fall dressing […]
Signs of Fall
Happy Sunday. I woke up with a start this morning thinking it was Monday and I was running late. Then remembered it’s Sunday and laid back down for a few extra minutes of relax before getting up for a 7.4 mile run, then church, then errands to run and whew, I’m ready to relax now! […]
Minty Cantaloupe Salad
Mint is taking over one of our planter beds, seriously! I adore the stuff, but am clearly not consuming it fast enough. I tried to change that grabbing a handful for a new salad experiment. And found out Miko enjoys mint leaves as much as I do. Apparently I wasn’t the only one grabbing dinner […]
New NuNaturals Stevia Flavors and a Giveaway!
NuNaturals Stevia is my favorite brand of liquid stevia for just about anything I need to sweeten because, unlike other brands I’ve tried, it does not have a bitter aftertaste and a little goes a long way. NuNaturals recently came out with two new flavors of liquid stevia they sent me to try, Pure Liquid […]
Cucumber Noodle Salad
Happy Friday Eve! I’m celebrating with a post-workout glass of wine after another loooong day of work stress and cruddy weather. It’s been a nice evening here relaxing inside by the fireplace while it stormed outside and playing with a little guy that was very happy to have me home. He still absolutely adores his […]
Tahini Quinoa & Quick Salad
What’s really frustrating about this week is that even though it’s been busy, it seems to be going by slowly! So hooray for tomorrow being Friday! There’s still so much going on at work and I just feel like I need more time to catch my breath and catch up with my growing task list. […]
Jicama Kelp Noodle Salad
Should I be jealous that my mom’s dog is getting along so well with hubby? He’s an in-your-face chihuahua and no one is safe sitting in lap-jumping distance. And he likes french kissing. On second thought, I’m glad he prefers hubby. But I did try to re-ignite my lukewarm relationship with kelp noodles for dinner. […]
Jicama Smoothie & Coconut Almond Butter
When I first started getting into raw recipes, I gained a passion for jicama for its crisp texture, satisfying crunch, and fresh, versatile flavor that can go either savory or sweet. Jicama sticks are great dipped in hummus, pates, raw sauces, and even chocolate avocado pudding. At only about 45 calories per cup, it’s a […]
