Ah, Friday is almost here! I am looking forward to a more laid back and productive weekend with great weather and no races planned. Miko is ready for long walks and play time. I don’t know why it took me so long to try toasting hemp seeds because they came out great in this quinoa […]
Summery Lemon Dressing
June is here and wow, still processing that. Leela is not sure she’s ready for walks in triple digit heat. Summer also means loads of watermelon, fresh salads, and cooling smoothies. This summery dressing is bright and cooling with a poppy and tangy lemon flavor. Many lemon dressing recipes use sugar, salt, and oil for […]
Roasted Dill Potatoes
Apparently I have been a drag this week because these two have been stalking me around the house waiting for something exciting to happen. It’s true, I’ve been an allergy-suffering zombie ever since I ran the Parkway Half Marathon last weekend. I have never dealt with allergies like this, my eyes have been itchy and puffy […]
Smoky Peppercorn Dressing
We’re trying the dog beds with built in cuddle hoods again because the blanket chaos with the chihuahua beds is getting a little crazy. Leela is still not sure she likes this or has not figured this concept out even though she has no problems burrowing into blankets. I’m not giving up, eventually she’ll embrace these, […]
Hemp Heart Alfredo Dressing
We have been getting lots of rain and wild storms the last few days, the beautiful views of the clouds from our backyard have been breath taking. Rainbows and sunshine rain at the same time – such a gorgeous show from nature. And I am feeling better, working on more deep breathing, meditating, and listening […]
Smokey and Light Cheezy Sauce
Leela and I seem to be on the same page this week – we’d prefer hiding in soft, warm blankets all day. Only she actually gets to do it. Rough life. That’s okay, I get to enjoy this creamy, savory, and smokey cheezy sauce. There are tons of vegan cheese sauce recipes out there, so […]
Avocado House Dressing
It looks like it will be perfect weather for the Shamrock’n half marathon this weekend, can’t complain about highs in the 70s and slightly overcast. Let’s just hope my performance can hang in there too because my legs are feeling tired after my final speed training session at the gym. The pups will be ready for […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
Creamy Dijon Roasting Sauce
Ah, thank goodness the weekend is almost here! There is more rain in our weekend forecast, but I’m not gonna let that bug me for Sunday’s training run. At least that’s the plan, we’ll see. :-) Sweet Leela has been very clingy and hungry lately and even tolerates more hugs. I worry about her because […]
Fiery Peanut Dressing
The rain is back and so are some frustrated and bored chihuahuas. We got winds so strong last night, 60 MPH gusts, that poor hubby had to prop up another section of the fence and the pups will have nothing to do with going outside in that! Miko is pouting now too. And constantly wants […]
