Wow, November already and this week has been hectic. Getting an extra hour this weekend was nice and needed for a little extra sleep. Last Sunday we took my dad out for his birthday to Il Fornaio where it was a nice surprise to see they’re labeling more vegan items on the menu and the […]
Chef Challenge Wrap Up for the List
I could use a little more weekend before going back to work, this has been a crazy week month. I have been volunteering for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge doing social media, running the fundraising month for our department at work, and adapting to my new job. It’s been a lot in a good way, […]
Living It Up for the List
October already and a magical month for vegans in the Sacramento area with the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge and Sacramento’s Vegan Food Festival! It’s a month of vegan food overload if there is such a thing and we’ve already hit 4 of the restaurants for the vegan chef challenge. Meanwhile, the pups are perfectly happy […]
Busy Times for the List
Hello and happy fall! It’s official and we’re going pumpkin shopping later. It has been a crazy busy week here as I adapt to a new job, so busy that I’m looking into updating and re-arranging my gym/workout schedule to get more time in the week and it’s not easy because there are not a […]
Feeling Fall for the List
This week flew by way too fast and I feel like I’ve been disconnected keeping busy with work, but will get back into a grove. I have been mixing things up at the gym trying to keep motivation up and trying the stairwell stepper machines for cardio. They are intense! It took a few weeks […]
Flavorful Rice Alternative
Miko gets terribly bored with me when I come home from work and work more in our home office, his sad look is truly heartbreaking. And our evening walks have been very short the last couple of nights due to swarms of mosquitoes. Poor guy, but he was very ready to share dinner with me […]
Anniversary Eats for the List
It’s been an interesting week, a lot going on at work, dentist appointment, doctor’s appointment, and our 10-year marriage anniversary celebration – ups and downs. The dogs have been enjoying being lazy while Miko has seemed extra clingy when we have been home with busy schedules. Since it has been a crazy week, eats have […]
Having Kitchen Fun for the List
Here we are at Sunday night again getting ready for the grind. Boo, but oh well. It has been a busy week, a busy few weeks actually with job changes for hubby and I. And poor Miko had a little health drama this week while Leela has been happy to sleep, sleep some more, eat, […]
Beyond Salad
It’s hot this week, in the triple digits here and too dangerous for cute, little chihuahuas to be outside. Miko and I go for walks early in the morning, but he gets restless and bored with so much time indoors and pouts. He did not pout about sharing parts of this salad with me because […]
Birthday Eats for the List
Happy Birthday to me and it’s been a fun weekend of celebration! Gah, 42! It’s just a number I keep telling myself, but time can fly. It’s been a fun week with the camping trip, short work week, and a fun weekend even though I am still doing laundry and putting stuff away from the […]
