I am enjoying the extra hour this weekend for much needed downtime and taking in fall sunsets and scenes. Miko has been enjoying warm snuggle time on laps and his many, many blankets and beds all over the house because he is not a happy camper unless he has a comfy landing spot in every […]
Feeling Spring for the List
How are you? It’s been a lazy and productive weekend here, Miko has been loving his toasty office bed in front of a heater on lazy weekend mornings. And I have been taking in spring views in our backyard as trees are starting to bloom rapidly and I am looking forward to spring gardening. It’s […]
Long Weekend Fun for the List
It has been a nice 4 days off here, I am feeling okay about going back to work after lots of relaxing and getting stuff down. But the pups won’t be happy about us going back, Miko was getting used to sleeping in and long morning walks. And my sister’s cat got used to the […]
Easter Time for the List
Happy Easter. We hosted a smaller scale family gathering here and spent much of yesterday cleaning and preparing for that. I made this vegan carrot cake recipe, but switched out the frosting with Miss Jones Vanilla Vegan Frosting I found at Sprouts since we could not use the cashew based option in the recipe with […]
Great Eats & Celebration for the List
Wow, this weekend flew by too fast. But it’s been a fun weekend with some decadent eating and fun in the vegan community. I tried to keep eats healthier and whole food plant based at home during the week with oil free roasted potatoes and butternut squash soup, veggie tofu stir fries, and curried potato […]
Running Into the Week for the List

Tahini Banana Dressing for the List
Well what did you think of the Superbowl? For me it was just eh. But jeez Hyundai, really? We had a fun low key day at home in the rainy and windy weather, I sorted more stuff and have a growing stash to donate again. The pups had lazy days with the cold, wet weather. […]
SacTown VegFest 2019 for the List
It is nice to relax a little today because yesterday was packed with SacTown VegFest – whew! The few days leading up to it where pretty packed at work, so I kept things simple at home with tofu stir fries, easy lunch from Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine, and sharing with my lap buddy. And we […]
Relaxing for the List
January is an odd month, isn’t it? I find myself trying to get motivated for the year, feeling pressure to meet goals and get things going while sometimes having the blahs and lacking motivation with the winter weather. It’s been a productive long weekend so far while we tackle house projects and I’ve been doing […]
Wrapping Up 2018 for the List
2018 was an odd year, something I feel like I been saying too much the last couple of years. There were a lot of ups and down and I’m ready to move onto a fresh year. There were adventures and fun. But also sadness and negativity. I think I’ve learned to deal with that and […]
