Miko is a little bored with me this week. I’m still feeling washed out with this cold, but it’s almost gone! Thank goodness, I’m ready after 5 days of it! Colds can cause some interesting food cravings for me, anything salty, fatty, and/or sweet which are bad options for energy crashes and feeling even more […]
Balsamic Hummus Dressing
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 […]
Cheesy Broccoli Dressing
TGIF! Especially for me since I’m taking today off for a 4 day weekend and having a relaxing morning at home drinking coffee and enjoying the foggy, drizzly weather. I actually like this weather, it’s peaceful, pretty, and a great excuse to park it in front of the fireplace like Miko. Or in front of […]
Cauliflower Alfredo Dressing
Wow, tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Ready? I think I am, but I’m noticing more stress this year with a crazier work schedule around Christmas. Even Smokey is looking a little more stressed and she just hangs around the house. Miko is not happy with me for not making enough time to play with him. He’s […]
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 […]
Spinach Quinoa
Good morning! I’m up early trying to prepare myself for a 7-mile training run while tweaking my running playlists. I saw this 10-minute video on Facebook yesterday and got mesmerized watching it. Philip Wollen does an amazing job of summing up all the issues in the world related to eating meat and how illogical it […]
Hemp Cheddar Noodles
Fall is getting closer because spaghetti squashes are showing up in the stores. I pretty much like all squash, but these are one of my favorites just for the fun factor. I grabbed this cute little organic one over the weekend. And it inspired this new cheddar hemp sauce for a cheesy noodle squash bowl. […]
Breathbones & Brazil Nut Pesto Dressing
I got adventurous this week and ordered V-dog Breathbones with our usual kibble order from V-Dog. Skipper does not always have the freshest breath and he loves to chew, so I’m always looking for vegan ways to keep him busy. I ordered the small size to try so the chihuahuas could try them too and […]
Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup
Almost Friday, woohoo! And it’s still hot here, high of 106 degrees for the weekend. Perfect weather to go see a movie inside! It’s a problem with the dogs, we have to be very careful when we take them for walks and how long they stay in the backyard. So we’ve been doing lots of […]
Simple Potato Broccoli Soup
Tomorrow is Friday, thank goodness. It’s been a week of worry and sinus issues here. Shadow, one of our sweet gray kitties, is having health issues. We noticed he’s been losing weight and having intestinal issues and took him into the vet this week to find out it’s either thyroid issues or feline leukemia. The […]
