Yesterday we got a slight break in the rain and this gorgeous view. Today the all day rain was back and Miko back to refusing to go outside when when he could be toasting his belly instead. I got into dry toasting quinoa before cooking it. Previously I was fearful to get too aggressive with […]
Celebrate Summer
My schedule is still goofed up from our camping trip and getting a day off, lots of catch up and I have not been feeling too motivated after two very crazy days at work. I kind of wish I was still parked in a comfy chair at the campsite enjoying peaceful nature because it was nice to […]
Cilantro Quinoa & Lentils
Leela is still adjusting to the new bed arrangement where I removed the pile of messy blankets and replaced with their cozy cave beds in front of the fireplace, she’s been cuddling up to hubby trying to get her blankets back. I might cave and put the blankets back, but it nice having less bedding to […]
Cauliflower Cheesy Sauce
First thing every morning, I send the chihuahuas to the backyard to do their business and they’re still not happy about the chilly, morning air and can’t wait to come in for breakfast. And I can’t wait for the weekend! It’s been a crazy week and salads are a comfort food for me when things […]
Creamy Parsley Dressing
It’s been raining pretty consistently for the last few days here which is great for California! Except not for the pups who are bored of being inside, but hate going outside. Poor Miko has been a little frustrated being stuck inside. Smokey is perfectly happy to bury herself in her favorite couch blanket in this […]
Avocado Cumin Dressing
Poor Miko cuddled with hubby last night while he pouted at me for putting his favorite toy in the wash. But I had no choice, he managed to pee on it when he took it outside to do his business. Silly guy! Smokey was not impressed with the drama and preferred sunbathing. I was craving a […]
Simple Sweet Apple Dressing
We’ve been getting some more rain here the last few days and some frustrated and bored chihuahuas who want more walks. Leela has even been stalking me around the house for any hint of leash time. Rain outside is no problem with kale growing away in the AeroGarden inside, here’s what the kale looks like […]
Ginger Herb Dressing
Leela was having a case of the Mondays yesterday and perfectly happy to hide in her bed. Can’t blame her, it was tempting when my alarm went off. Smokey stayed parked on her favorite couch blanket all day. Not a bad way to spend Monday for sure! I spent some of it getting creative with […]
Spicy Oil Free Peanut Stir Fry
Hubby surprised me with an early Valentine’s Day gift – an AeroGarden! We had fun setting it up yesterday and starting kale and herb planter pods in it, so I will be reporting a lot more on it when we start seriously growing stuff. First impressions: Wow, it’s high tech with a touch screen display, […]
Zingy Avocado Dressing
The chihuahuas have a serious case of the lazies this week and are sticking to their cozy fireplace beds. At most they shift to a different blanket or bed. And occasionally fight over who gets to claim the fuzzy red blanket. Rough life and I’m actually very jealous with such a busy week at work. […]
