Summer has arrived here this weekend with temps in the 80s and 90s and Miko has been a happy camper with long walks and snuggle, lazy time after. For Memorial Day, we stopped at Zest Kitchen for lunch were it was packed! Love seeing such a demand for healthy vegan cuisine. I got the loaded […]
Fun in the Rain for the List
Sunday again already? Time flies, but it’s been a great weekend. We’ve been getting a lot of rain this week with off and on storms. So, darn, too stormy to do yard work. We did get a great walk in last Sunday while it was still warm and sunny and visited a cute pair of […]
Cuisine Inspired by Buddhism
Pho VEGAN-Asian Cuisine is one of my favorite places to drop in for lunch, it’s my relaxing and peaceful break from a busy day at work. And I finally got to chat with the sweet and passionate power couple who brought this welcoming sanctuary to the greater Sacramento area, Julie (Thuy) Nguyen and Don Vuong. […]
Mushy Week for the List
More rain and wind this weekend, lots of chilly, drizzling mist and Leela has decided she’d rather be comfy inside in front of the fireplace. Spring seems to be a little late this year, our backyard tree is finally starting to bloom weeks later than usual. But we’re not complaining about the rain after a […]
Delicious Eats for the List
It has been a lazy weekend here with my sweet home office buddy enjoying a warm blanket under his space heater. That’s because it’s been cold, windy, and rainy all weekend. Besides going to the gym and running errands, we’ve been spending time indoors eating leftovers, organizing, playing games, and watching movies. And my last […]
Holiday Time
You ready for Christmas? Can’t believe it’s here and my posting schedule is a little off and will be until next year. I am taking time off work until next year and I’m thrilled! No actual plans yet, just some down time to recoup from the holidays, work on projects, and have a little fun. […]
New Vegan Restaurant & Running
I am getting excited for the holidays and next week should be fun, if a little stressful, with last minute prep and our office party. I am being daring this year planning to take a raw vegan dessert to the dessert contest. I’m a realist on it’s chances of winning, but it could be a […]
Comforting Eats for Tough Times
We’re still here with very frustrated dogs! Currently our air quality status is hazardous from the Camp Fire just north which is the worst rating I’ve ever seen. That rating basically means don’t go outside without a mask and it’s been consistently bad every evening since Friday so no evening walks for us. I’ve been […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge Eats for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast, but it was a great week and weekend with lots of good eats for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge. At Grocery Outlet, hubby found these little single serve containers of Go Veggie Vegan Chive & Garlic Cream Cheese he had to try for a baked potato. He is a […]
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 […]
