Miko is recovering from his vet visit last week to have two teeth removed and he’s almost done with his medication which we’ll both appreciate not having to deal with pills twice a day! Leela is happy to tunnel herself into blankets this week, she’s been feeling anti social. I don’t blame her after having […]
Saturday List
Today was a wonderfully calm day, perfect after a busy week. We had no specific plans, just went with it. Some of the highlights: 1. I finished watching Hungry For Change, an interesting documentary about the effects of processed food and chemicals on our health. Overall it was a good documentary with lots of information […]
Cold Weather Compromise
Watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead over the weekend inspired me to get moving on my New Year’s goal of using my juicer more. After feeding a lot of kale, 3 carrots, two apples, a huge chunk of ginger, and a kiwi through the juicer, I got an interesting looking pre-dinner juice that tasted wonderful. […]
Chia Smoothie & Tahini Stir Fry
I’m feeling much more relaxed now after a crazy week at work, too bad the weekend is almost over. I’m also feeling a little lazy today after a hard 10-mile run yesterday as part of my half marathon training, the weather was nice – but windy and very muddy after 4 days of down pouring […]
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 […]
Cheesy Tempeh Broccoli
It’s another rainy week here which is great for our garden, not so good for coaxing Miko to do his business in the backyard. He dashes out to the grass and back to the door lightening fast and usually after I carry his little rear outside. I can’t blame him, the wind and rain isn’t […]
Juicing for Cake
Ick, how did Monday get here so fast? Thankfully it flew by at work, but only because it was insanely busy. Miko seemed to be as thrilled as I was to climb out of bed this morning. I did get a 9-mile run in Saturday which the weather was just gorgeous for. Too bad getting […]
Stir Fried Tempeh
Another weekend gone, yikes! In the spirit of relaxing Sunday, I stuck with a simple staple dinner that’s fast and easy to prepare – a tempeh stir fry. And I used the miso sauce from this tofu stir fry recipe. With chard, onion, orange bell pepper, and broccoli for the veggies – not a bad […]
Roasted Spicy Tempeh & Cauliflower
It’s been a wacky and stressful week to say the least with so much going on at work, rain, keeping up with workouts and half marathon training, and fighting off another bug going around. I’ve been trying to stick to simple, nutrient dense meals to combat this madness, like a loaded kale salad dressed with […]
