It was a crazy week last week, so busy at work I just wanted to sit and do nothing when I got home I was feeling so drained. Still adjusting to management and there is a lot of transition on our team now with a growing workload. I really love the new challenges, but they […]
Simple and Healthy
It has been hot here with triple digit heat the last few days. So the pups have been kept inside during the worst of the heat and Miko is not pleased with that. And it’s been a busy week for me with multiple appointments today, running around in the heat has been exhausting. Sweet hubby […]
Creatively Healthy
Getting into a healthy, plant-based life style can be daunting with so many decadent plant-based dining out options and processed products coming daily. I’m not complaining! But it can be tough to stick to a whole food plant based diet with so many new options. Shortly after I went vegan in 2010, an amazing plant-based […]
Tahini Basil Dressing
I have a love/hate relationship with my current gym that prompts me to look at other options occasionally. Sure, it’s only $10 a month and they have a plentiful number of treadmills. But it also has crowded and chaotic seasons which we’re in now – everyone wants to look good for summer I guess! There […]
Banana Dressing & Paleo Protein
Miko has been a little frustrated with us this week, he wants more walk time and play time in the warmer weather. But it’s been an intense week at work and my turn to be on call this week. On call weeks are more draining for me even if there’s little to no activity, just […]
Stuff We Ate
It’s been a busy week, I just have not been feeling too creative in the kitchen beyond focusing on using stuff up and keeping dishes mostly whole food plant based. But this sweet potato tofu curry saute came out great. I chopped up a large sweet potato and simmered it in a little veggie broth, […]
Impossible Burger for the List
Whoa, this weekend flew by too fast. Not sure I’m ready to go back to work tomorrow, I could use some more rest time like Miko. It’s been a rough week with lots going on at work, so there has been a lot of simple eats including tofu stir fries, huge meal salads, Thai takeout, […]
New Beds & New Pasta for the List
Wow, April is nearly over and I’m okay with that. I’m kind of ready for summer weather with longer days and more outdoor fun. But I’m already worried that the summer heat will be brutal on Leela, she seems to over heat faster in her old age. Sweet hubby upgraded the pet beds with these […]
Earth Day Fest & Parsley Dressing
Whew and it’s only Wednesday! That’s cool, hoping the weekend will get here soon because Miko is ready for more couch cuddle time. Last weekend was gorgeous, plenty of sun, blooming flowers, and warm weather. Perfect for an outdoor Earth Day festival. The ECOS Sacramento Earth Day festival is such a unique experience, a beautiful […]
Earth Day and Eats for the List
Happy Earth Day! But really vegans treat every day like Earth Day, right? Today is also the big ECOS Earth Day Festival in Sacramento and the weather could not be more perfect – sunny and in the 80s. It’s a nice change since it was chilly this week with temps in the 30s in the […]
