Miko has been extra hungry lately perhaps from the cold weather, I caught him last night sneaking steamed spaghetti squash from Leela’s bowl. So innocent. I’m thankful they’re fans of healthy foods. And who says you can’t enjoy healthy foods as holiday treats? It’s been too long since I created raw vegan energy balls and these are […]
This Nut-free Cake Pleases Everyone
I’m still recovering from the fun-loaded weekend after being on call for work, celebrating, running errands, and our Easter celebration. I need a weekend from the weekend! But it all went good and we had a huge and active Easter celebration at my sister’s house with family, friends, and way too much food. Thanks to […]
Chocolate Mousse Cake
Miko has discovered a new game called stash treats in the couch. I found quite a few cleaning over the weekend which made him very excited. The thought of heading back to Las Vegas makes me excited because I have a soft spot for the Wynn Las Vegas. I did a huge report and presentation on […]
Miso Ginger Stir Fry Sauce
Yesterday we dog-sitted my mom’s active 1-year-old chihuahua mix, Dasher, for the first time and he wasn’t sure about us for the first hour. He sat by the front door whimpering for mommy. After a couple of handfuls of V-dog, he decided we were okay and helped himself to Miko’s toy box which Miko wasn’t […]
Chocolate Mousse Cake
Monday again – arg! That’s okay, I’m relaxed after a nice weekend and a fast 3.2 mile treadmill run at the gym after work since it’s actually raining too hard today to run outside. Saturday we had a pleasant family BBQ at my sister’s house for visiting family and, as usual, my dinner plate was […]
Easter Weekend
Even though it was a busy weekend, I still miss it! I had a great 6-mile run Saturday training for an upcoming 12k race. And had enough energy to take the dogs for a long walk after to visit grazing sheep in our neighborhood. They all came to the fence to get a closer look […]
Raw Vegan Cranberry Sauce
Ah, I am enjoying a nice relaxing morning by the fireplace with some very cuddly dogs thinking about going for a run in a bit and thankful I’m not participating in the madness of Black Friday. I know, how un-American of me! But I worked in retail on Black Fridays in the past at an […]
So Long 2011
Hard to believe 2011 is gone, seems like I was just wrapping up 2010. My plans today were pretty laid back – 4-mile run, start the not-so-fun task of putting away the Christmas decorations, and an early movie and dinner with hubby before welcoming the new year at home watching movies, playing games, and relaxing […]
Raw Pumpkin Pie
Well here we are at Sunday again and me whining about not being ready for the weekend to end. What else is new? But it was a wonderfully fun and long weekend celebrating my mom’s birthday all day Saturday with lots of shopping, dining out, and me almost adopting another chihuahua at a rescued animal […]
