We’re still getting back to normal here after our trip to Florida and playing a bit of catch up. Sweet Miko has been a super lap buddy ready for cuddles or enjoying the spring weather. Sunday I headed to my sister’s house for a little family gathering where her cat wanted all the attention and […]
Simple Sriracha Dressing
As you know, Miko loves heat this time of year and would be happy to live in front of a fireplace or space heater. Warm and comforting is good, especially for the winter! So is spicy heat, I tend to prefer spicier foods with warming flare more during the winter – hot curries, hot chili, […]
Creamy Butternut Pasta Sauce
Whew, we’ve made it this far in the week and Miko wishes I was home more for cuddle toy time on the couch. Me too! Chilly weather is all about winter squash for me, I don’t think I could ever get tired of it. Sunday I roasted a large butternut squash to use for the […]
Turmeric Hemp Dressing
Fall might actually be near with highs only in the 80s and lows in the 50s this week, woohoo! And Miko is ready for fireplace snuggling. Soon, buddy! I might even buy pumpkins this weekend, can’t wait! Turmeric is an interesting “superfood” with a lot of promised health benefits. After a quick google, I’m pretty […]
Savory Oatmeal with Bok Choy
When I want to try something new, I tend to order way too much of it. I decided I wanted to try adding oatmeal to smoothies and getting crazy with recipes, easy and fast recipes. So I ordered a six pack of this Nature’s Path Organic Quick Oats. Thank goodness for large pantries! I was […]
Simple Eats Inspiration
Leela and I seem to be on the same page this week after a quiet, hot weekend and back to the grind. The heat hits her hard, so she enjoys more rest time. Not Miko, he’s ready for an indoor party with his stinky toy. I gotta wash that again. Eats have been interesting so […]
Tahini Thai Basil Pesto
I am screwed up this week between taking a few days off for camping last week, working Monday, then having yesterday off – what day is it? I’ll get back on schedule eventually here and caught up on sleep, having the 4th of July on a week night is kind of annoying when firework shows […]
Life & Simple Meals
I am pretty happy this week is almost over and I didn’t get called in for jury duty, woohoo! I was on call having to check each night to see if needed the next day this week, so that was a relief. And it actually got chilly here again this week – lows in the […]
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, […]
