Whew and it’s only Wednesday! That’s cool, hoping the weekend will get here soon because Miko is ready for more couch cuddle time. Last weekend was gorgeous, plenty of sun, blooming flowers, and warm weather. Perfect for an outdoor Earth Day festival. The ECOS Sacramento Earth Day festival is such a unique experience, a beautiful […]
Lentils and a New Dressing
It is pouring rain outside again and we’ve got frustrated, lazy pups wanting a walk. But Miko will have nothing to do with wind and rain and poor Leela gets disoriented more easily in windy weather. And she probably prefers sleeping after a busy play date with my mom’s dog. It’s been awhile, too long, […]
Easy Meals & Miso Stir Fry
Happy Pi Day, did you celebrate? I didn’t, I’m so terrible with food themed holidays. And I rarely plan creative meals during the week lately, after busy work days and the gym, I just want simple and healthy. Like this simple tofu broccoli stir fry last night. Yesterday I went very simple for lunch with […]
Pizza & Better Slaw Dressing
Whew, it’s been a week already! In a good way, but busy. I wouldn’t mind having a relaxing weekend day, Miko was thrilled to be a sweet lap buddy Sunday after a run. And it was a beautiful run with the ground fog clearing, spring blooms, and wild life. Sunday was an interesting day of […]
Healthy Dijon Dressing
Miko is such a sweet and supportive buddy to Leela in her old age. He’s always near her when not in our laps, never complains when she helps herself to his dinner, and never goes after her dinner. He seems to really know she’s facing challenging times and shows her compassion, animals can be so […]
Another Solid Turmeric Dressing
These two are looking forward to the weekend and hopefully warmer weather. It’s been in the 20s the last few mornings and evenings which means very frustrated chihuahuas during walk time. I had to dig Miko out of his bed this morning to get out on a walk and he was not a happy camper. […]
Kale Avocado Pesto
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope it’s a good day and people are celebrating love. I am celebrating protein with this recipe using a fun grocery find – Tolerant Simply Legumes Organic Green Lentil Pasta. We’re having lots of fun trying alternative, high protein pasta lately and at 21 grams of protein per serving, this pasta […]
Better Turmeric Dressing
Being blind is tough on Leela, she is not adjusting to it well especially since her hearing seems to be going too. She spends a lot of time wandering the house, bumping into walls, and looking for food. I feel like I’m wandering through this week on autopilot. One of those weeks where things are […]
Smoky Butternut Pasta Sauce
Sometimes I wonder why I try. Leela loves to burrow into blankets to stay warm especially in the winter, but that’s gotten difficult now that she’s older and blind and I worry that she’ll get cold if we’re not there to cover her with a blanket. There are pet beds that allow dogs to burrow […]
Daring Tahini Dressing
Poor Leela is feeling the challenges of going blind. We serve her dinner in a pretty hefty ceramic bowl. Somehow her little 9 lb. self stepped on the edge of the bowl just right last night to send it flying and her dinner all over the floor. Poor thing was too nervous to go back […]
