Rain, rain, and more rain here lately. That’s a good thing, California needs it! But things tend to get a little cranky after many wet and gray days. We got a beautiful break in the rain Sunday morning, perfect for a 10-mile run. A little windy and the clouds were starting to build for the next […]
Shopping for the Weekend List
Happy Valentine’s Day! Got any fun plans today? We’re planning to hear a famous doctor talk then brave the chaos and go out to dinner – should be fun! And I’m planning a 10 mile training run before because it’s Sunday Run Day! Last weeks training run went much better than expected breaking in new […]
Avocado Blue Cheese Dressing
It must be getting closer to Friday because Miko is pouting at me again for being busy all week. I feel like pouting too after this work week, but there is a long and awesome weekend to look forward to! And check out the kale in the AeroGarden after only 14 days! It really is growing about […]
Ginger Herb Dressing
Leela was having a case of the Mondays yesterday and perfectly happy to hide in her bed. Can’t blame her, it was tempting when my alarm went off. Smokey stayed parked on her favorite couch blanket all day. Not a bad way to spend Monday for sure! I spent some of it getting creative with […]
Spicy Oil Free Peanut Stir Fry
Hubby surprised me with an early Valentine’s Day gift – an AeroGarden! We had fun setting it up yesterday and starting kale and herb planter pods in it, so I will be reporting a lot more on it when we start seriously growing stuff. First impressions: Wow, it’s high tech with a touch screen display, […]
Zingy Avocado Dressing
The chihuahuas have a serious case of the lazies this week and are sticking to their cozy fireplace beds. At most they shift to a different blanket or bed. And occasionally fight over who gets to claim the fuzzy red blanket. Rough life and I’m actually very jealous with such a busy week at work. […]
Sprouts and Rain for the Weekend List
Wow, Sunday got here quick! Busy weeks fly by and nice, long runs outside help balance out the stress. We got a break in the rain last Sunday for a 7-mile run in the morning, perfect before being inside the rest of the day working on projects during the rain. I got in a little […]
Sriracha Kale Chips
I’m ashamed to say it’s been a long time since I’ve used our Excalibur Food Dehydrator, over a year maybe! I had to dig it out of the back corner of our pantry for this recipe. But I got inspired with this lovely bunch of fresh kale we got in our farm box. And after […]
Creamy Herb Dressing
I am finally recovering from the flu nightmare and had a decent run at the gym tonight that was needed! I can still feel my lungs recovering and cough is still hanging around a bit, but it’s slowly going away. I read a cough can hang around for weeks after a flu while the lungs […]
Cheesy Butternut Curry Sauce
With temps dropping to the 30s, hubby sweetly turned on the fireplace so winter has officially begun here! And Miko is thrilled! You can find him toasting his belly when it’s on and pouting in front of it when it’s off. And me creating recipes with winter squash. This Vegan Curried Pumpkin Cheese Sauce inspired […]
