Sorry for that title, not feeling very creative currently. But am feeling spring with beautiful sunshine and warming temps after a lot of rain this week. Whew, it was a busy week. Our company hosted a vaccine clinic that I volunteered for and was crazy busy the first day with a rush of people, and […]
Smoky Cheddar Dressing
Whoa, November already. I’m a little sad and glad Halloween is over, part of me wishes we celebrated it more with parties and haunted houses while the other part is glad to be done with the mid-week stress of it. I am actually looking forward to the cooler, rainy weather this weekend to see movies, […]
Fake Grass and Fun Eats for the List
Sunday night already, boo this weekend flew by too fast! But it was also a productive weekend. We had fake grass professionally installed for half of our backyard last week, the half that is closest to the door – easy for the dogs to get to. And on the side I’ve always had problems maintaining […]
Avocado Miso Dressing
Thank you for the kind words on the Shamrock’n half marathon, it’s been a tough training season which makes me look forward to better running weather ahead with a more aggressive training schedule. It’s been spotty this week while still recovering and keeping busy with work. But nice to rest a little. Sweet Miko continues […]
Tahini Curry Sauce
The rain is finally gone, we got sunshine here and little hints of spring with trees starting to bloom. Miko is happy as long as he has snuggle couch time with hubby. And I am happy this week because I have one of my favorite squashes – an organic kabocha squash from Whole Foods. It […]
Spicy Tahini Dressing
Hello August, that means cooling fall temps and turning leaves are getting closer! And fireplace cuddly time which Miko is all about. But since temps are still hot, I’m still celebrating summer with vibrant salads and fun blender salad dressings. Trust me, you’ll want to make this one. It’s tangy, creamy, slightly sweet, and has […]
Cilantro Quinoa & Lentils
Leela is still adjusting to the new bed arrangement where I removed the pile of messy blankets and replaced with their cozy cave beds in front of the fireplace, she’s been cuddling up to hubby trying to get her blankets back. I might cave and put the blankets back, but it nice having less bedding to […]
Ginger Miso Stir Fry Sauce
The long weekend is almost here, woohoo! I don’t even mind that it’s supposed to rain all weekend. Neither does Smokey as long as she has her favorite couch blanket. Leela is funny about eating V-Dog kibble, she likes to leave little bits outside the bowl and comes back for them later. For me, when […]
Fall Curried Apple Dressing
When we first got back from our week long cruise vacation, Smokey was not happy with us. She was right at the door as soon as we opened it with suitcases in hand to yell at us for not being home for a week. And it continued most of the next day with her following us […]
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 […]
