Happy Cinco De Mayo, have any fun plans today? I ran, did laundry and chores, met my sister at IKEA to find a couch laptop table which is waiting in the box for hubby to assemble, and we made vegan nachos for dinner. Miko has been on cuteness overload this week being a sweet friend. […]
Easter Time for the List
Happy Easter. We hosted a smaller scale family gathering here and spent much of yesterday cleaning and preparing for that. I made this vegan carrot cake recipe, but switched out the frosting with Miss Jones Vanilla Vegan Frosting I found at Sprouts since we could not use the cashew based option in the recipe with […]
Getting Better for the List
This weekend seemed to fly by too fast, but it was a productive weekend. We still have my mom’s dog, Dasher, while she is recovering from hip replacement surgery and he is a, uh, portly dog. He’s a sweetheart, but could stand to loose a few pounds and gets tired on long walks with Miko […]
Recovering for the Weekend List
It has not been an easy week, lots of challenges that have me looking forward to things settling down. The biggest stress source has been getting sick while getting my mom ready for a big hip surgery tomorrow, eek! I’ve been fighting off an annoying cold most of last week, that proved to be something […]
Embracing Winter for the List
One of my goals for 2019 is to reduce my disposable plastic use and trash in general and have been spending a lot of time on the Zero Waste Subreddit It’s not easy with personal care items and so much food coming in plastic! So it’s been baby steps switching to shampoo bars, trying alternative […]
Tahini Banana Dressing for the List
Well what did you think of the Superbowl? For me it was just eh. But jeez Hyundai, really? We had a fun low key day at home in the rainy and windy weather, I sorted more stuff and have a growing stash to donate again. The pups had lazy days with the cold, wet weather. […]
Wrapping Up 2018 for the List
2018 was an odd year, something I feel like I been saying too much the last couple of years. There were a lot of ups and down and I’m ready to move onto a fresh year. There were adventures and fun. But also sadness and negativity. I think I’ve learned to deal with that and […]
New Vegan Restaurant & Running
I am getting excited for the holidays and next week should be fun, if a little stressful, with last minute prep and our office party. I am being daring this year planning to take a raw vegan dessert to the dessert contest. I’m a realist on it’s chances of winning, but it could be a […]
Just Egg & Running for the List
This week flew by, right? And Christmas is getting closer! I’m not complaining, shopping is pretty much wrapped up and truthfully with no kids or huge office parties, my shopping is pretty simple. I did get gifts for the pups this weekend, a new toy for Miko and treats for Leela since she’s not into […]
Rain and Celebration for the List
It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
