Made it through another busy Tuesday, woohoo! Leela did too by spending most of it under her layers of blankets. Poor girl still has snuffly sinus issues after weeks of taking medication for a sinus infection and we need to go back to the vet about it. Miko is happy as always and ready to […]
Mushroom Avocado Dressing
Thank goodness Friday is almost here, I am ready for this week to end. So is Miko, he’s been pouting for more play time and not happy at us for coming home tired and cranky. I can’t blame him! Smokey is still ready for more attention and to steal Miko’s camera time. I’m ready to […]
Weekend Fun
I have been thoroughly enjoying my long weekend at home relaxing, playing in the kitchen, and catching up on stuff like harvesting and freezing tons of tangerines from the tree in our backyard for smoothies, growing more sprouts, and minimizing clutter in the office. And playing with this sweet little guy of course. Also enjoying […]
Mushroom Gravy Dressing
I’ve been putting it off for as long as possible, but yesterday I finally had three old fillings redone at the dentist. Glad it’s over and I’ll hopefully never have to worry about them again, but it sucked. And so did the bill. My entire mouth had to be numbed, so I had a smoothie […]
Vegan Swap Party & Soup in a Wok
It’s been a great weekend so far! One thing that is fabulous about this area is the huge selection of Thai restaurants with great new ones popping up a lot. Friday night hubby and I ventured out to try another new Thai restaurant where I got a vegan tofu drunken noodle dish that had a […]
Comfort Foods
Friday eve, finally! We’ve been getting rain and that’s great for the drought, but not great for my sinuses apparently and/or it’s a cold. Either way it’s annoying. I’ve been feeling stuffed up the last few days groggy with sinus headaches and other cold symptoms and tired and sluggish at the gym. So this will […]
Missing the Weekend
It was a fantastically fun and busy weekend, but getting up this morning for work was brutal! After a busy and fun day Saturday of visiting the farm sanctuary, shopping, and eating out, I got up early Sunday to head out on a 5-mile training run for an upcoming 12k race and prepare food for […]
Christmas Eve with Raw Nutloaf
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is having a wonderful time with family and friends today. I’m recovering from a fabulous Christmas Eve gathering at my sister’s house last night and preparing for another one at my dad’s today, wee! She had plenty of cute decorations out including this wine bottle stuffed with Christmas lights, so California! […]
Mushroom Burgers Take One
I figured out why I never liked mushrooms growing up, it was more the texture than taste. Canned mushrooms were the worst, like eating slimy little slugs. As much as I like portabella mushroom burgers, I can only get through about halfway before the texture gets to me, which would explain why I adore mushrooms […]
New Purse & Mushroom Hemp Gravy
I’m a sucker for purses, there’s something refreshing and uplifting about switching purses when things get heavy and stressful… or maybe that’s just me. Since going high-raw vegan, I’ve become more aware of eco-friendly products and the impact of where products are manufactured. Not only am I shopping for vegan purses now, but hopefully ones […]
