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 […]
Butternut Rosemary Dressing
We’re having a lazy Sunday here, Miko burrowed himself and his toy under blankets in his office bed since it’s been an oddly foggy and chilly weekend. The sun did come out yesterday afternoon, so I took the chihuahuas for a long walk. Really long walk since they like to stop and smell everything! It […]
Split Pea Quinoa with Lentils
Leela and Miko are still recovering and maybe not talking to me slightly after yesterday. We took them both to the vet for annual shots and nail clippings which I hate putting them through. Leela is a little better about car rides and going to the vet after multiple teeth cleanings, but poor Miko pouted […]
Weekend Random
This has been a relaxing, casual weekend where I caught up on stuff around the house and worked a little on my goals for 2015. So this will be a bit of a random post. It was especially relaxing for the pups, they kept warm by the fire while Smokey took in her favorite show. […]
Scenes from Christmas
Whew, Christmas was a fun whirlwind of visiting family, opening gifts, and eating too much amazing food. I managed to take 175 pictures using and testing out new lenses for my camera, here are just a few. Christmas Eve was a simple and fun dinner of lentil vegan tacos at my sister’s house, we sautéed […]
Versatile Cumin Lentils and Quinoa
Thanks to the Pineapple Express, which the massive storm that’s been hitting Northern California for the last two days has been named, it’s been raining non stop here for over 24 hours. No flooding in this area and the winds have not been as bad as predicted, so we’ve been lucky! And getting all the […]
Simple Hemp Ginger Dressing
What a day … what a week so far and it’s only Tuesday! The last two days at work have been crazy with fires to put out, meetings, late leaving for lunch, and late leaving for the day. So much going on that I can’t seem to get 5 peaceful minutes to focus on one […]
Festive Lentils and Quinoa
It has been nice to relax and tackle a little housework so far this weekend after a busy week. Skipper agrees, he’s been covering his hammock bed with more fur and dirt for us to vacuum. Poor Miko is a little bored with us, he was ready to play and play after a quiet week. […]
Simple Lentil Miso Soup
Skipper is always such a sweetie and boy does he love meal time! He got such a workout last night frantically cleaning his bowl, then Miko’s bowl, that he had to lay down and rest in the kitchen. I got a bit of a workout using my spiral slicer on a huge zucchini. I have […]
Funky Eating
I’m here, really. I’ve been in a bit of a funk the last few days with a lot going on including a sick cat, sick family member, work, and other stresses. Miko was so sweet when I got home from work today ready to play and following me around the house. Shadow is hanging in […]
