Happy Cinco De Mayo, have any fun plans today? I ran, did laundry and chores, met my sister at IKEA to find a couch laptop table which is waiting in the box for hubby to assemble, and we made vegan nachos for dinner. Miko has been on cuteness overload this week being a sweet friend. […]
Vibrant Food, Hot Spot
Getting to Midtown’s Cantina Alley in Midtown Sacramento is a bit of an adventure tucked in an alley between J and K streets. But you can’t miss the vibrant entrance and eager line outside. We headed there before 6pm on a Saturday figuring we’d never get in any later and the wait already confirmed we […]
Kicky Parsley Dressing
Wow, Easter is almost here, crazy. And we’re hosting at our house this year and we’re hardly ready, eek. But that’s okay, it’s been that kind of month and we plan to keep it casual. There is still a dog competition going on here with Miko and my mom’s dog, Dasher, who is very camera […]
Getting Better for the List
This weekend seemed to fly by too fast, but it was a productive weekend. We still have my mom’s dog, Dasher, while she is recovering from hip replacement surgery and he is a, uh, portly dog. He’s a sweetheart, but could stand to loose a few pounds and gets tired on long walks with Miko […]
Odd Week for the List
It has been a strange and disorienting week starting very early Monday getting my mom to the hospital for hip replacement surgery. Since then, it’s been a busy schedule rotating with my sisters helping her recover, staying overnight for the recommended hours of monitoring, working, and still dealing with this damn cold. Thankfully things are […]
Midtown Oasis
Leisurely exploring midtown Sacramento is one of my favorite weekend activities. There are always fun shops, historical open houses, and great options for vegan dining thanks to the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge. But finding a restaurant with fresh new vegan options celebrating seasonal ingredients can be a challenge. That’s not a problem at Revolution Wines […]
Recovering for the Weekend List
It has not been an easy week, lots of challenges that have me looking forward to things settling down. The biggest stress source has been getting sick while getting my mom ready for a big hip surgery tomorrow, eek! I’ve been fighting off an annoying cold most of last week, that proved to be something […]
Cherry Dijon Dressing
We’re still kind of waiting for spring here with more rain and storms this week, the pups seem especially frustrated with rain interrupting evening walks. Poor Miko rushes out to the back yard excited for fresh air, comes to a halt and looks back at me and pouts about the rain. But I am not […]
Spring Berry Dressing
Happy first day of spring. It wasn’t very spring-like today with thunderstorms and hail! But I’m not complaining about getting rain and the sun should be back tomorrow. I am celebrating spring with this simple dressing. I love just about all berries, great in smoothies, oatmeal, and frozen in wine. They’re also great in a […]
Spring Cleaning for the List
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Doing anything fun? Green beer? Not here, we went for a run, tackled house work, saw a movie, and went to Costco which was actually great since it wasn’t crowded for the holiday. I may have even forgotten to wear green, oops. Last Sunday’s meetup at Vegan Plate worked out okay […]
