The heat and smoke are finally letting up here, this was the view from our backyard a couple of nights ago with smoke from local wildfires. The sun was an eerie red color and it was just miserable with triple digit heat and the smell. I feel terrible for those affected by the fires too, […]
Cinnamon Fall Dressing
We’re still here struggling to stay cool, it was 108 degrees when I left work for the gym today! And even worse tomorrow, yuck! Miko has been a little tired of being stuck inside. And I’m trying to channel fall and cooler temps with this simple and light salad dressing. It’s sweet, has a warming […]
Weekend List w/ Lots of Eats
Good morning and happy long weekend! I’m enjoying a peaceful morning going through the list and drinking coffee while I motivate myself for a long run shortly. Yesterday was great, hubby and I had an energizing long workout at the gym and stayed home the rest of the day working on projects. The big project […]
Weekend List w/ A New Vegan Restaurant
It’s been a great weekend so far, hubby is home safely from business travel. I felt like a silly girly girl being home alone last week which is not like me. But one night someone rang our doorbell at an insane hour which set the dogs off and jarred me awake. Probably just some stupid […]
Simple Creamy Dill Dressing
Smokey has been enjoying sunbathing time in the summer heat. And attacking hubby through the curtains for a little play time. Sounds like the life to me, I’d happily trade the last two days at work for it! No lazy summer days for us lately, but I’m celebrating what’s left of summer with another simple summery […]
Smokey Cheddar Dressing
Friday is almost here, whew! We’ve been busy with work and home projects here lately and Miko gets frustrated when hubby isn’t paying enough attention to him. He climbs around his lap and does cute little stretching tail-wagging antics to get his attention. And I’m back at it with large meal salads in our hotter […]
Ginger Broccoli Quinoa and Lentils
Happy Tuesday! Okay, I know, but at least it’s not Monday. Trying to come up with a hearty, healthy, and creative dinner after a long day is challenging to say the least. I wrote this recipe on a whim to create a simple, one pot meal and was barely feeling throwing it together after my […]
Weekend List w/ Oil Free Potatoes
Happy weekend! It’s been a productive one here so far, I headed to the gym at the crack of dawn yesterday to cram in a workout before my early hair appointment, caught up on laundry at home, dropped a large load of stuff off at an animal rescue thrift shop, and worked on decluttering at […]
Weekend List
Happy long birthday weekend to me! I almost felt guilty about taking a couple of extra days off work with so much going on, but oh well. Yesterday we had a leisurely trip to the gym and got some needed errands done like dropping my car off at the dealer for routine tire and windshield […]
Weekend List with Tofu and Good News
Whew, happy relaxing Sunday! I’m enjoying some quiet coffee time after a busy week that included a long day of overtime yesterday moving and setting up computer equipment in a hot warehouse. My legs might be just a little too sore after lugging huge printers around to run today, boo. Miko was being a sweet cuddly […]
