I had every intention of having a new recipe ready this week, but that did not happen. Work has been crazy, on call has been crazy, we’re still eating through leftovers, and time has been an issue. Oh well! The fall trees are gorgeous here and we finished our Christmas tree. Both of our chihuahuas […]
Rain and Celebration for the List
It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
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 […]
Smoky Weekend for the List
As you’ve probably seen, California is on fire again and it’s horrible. I can’t even imagine what the victims of these fires are going through. It’s hard to consider that a fire can move so fast and take out entire cities today, but that’s the reality of climate change and my heart and support goes […]
Simple Finds for a Crazy Week
It’s been an odd week so far, but November seems to be an odd time of year in general for me. The weather is getting cooler, the holidays are getting closer, and it’s cold and dark. I don’t know why, but it seems more chaotic and this week seems to be following that trend. Not […]
Locking into Better Eats for the List
Hello and happy Sunday. I am totally enjoying the extra hour and that it will be slightly lighter when I go to work tomorrow morning. Seriously, getting up for work in the cold and dark has been extra hard the last few weeks for some reason. Maybe I need to try one of those sunlight […]
Vegan Chef Challenge Eats
Happy Halloween. Hope you’re not eating too much candy, but a little is delicious once in awhile especially if it’s vegan candy. The trick-or-treaters are slowing down here and I’m a little sad October is over which means the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge is too. We tried to cram more good eats out while it […]
Portland VegFest for the List
One of the reasons we were in Portland was to go to the Portland VegFest which we did last Saturday. And it was a sensory overload with a massive vendor and food hall! We had to get there pretty early on Saturday to catch Treating the Cause to and Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by […]
Voodoo Doughnuts & BBQ for Day 2 in Portland
Our time in Portland was packed with so much fun, I feel I need a little downtime after which is a successful getaway! Friday we packed in a lot just having fun and exploring. We started the day early exploring Downtown Portland on foot where it was very foggy and chilly. I fully enjoyed the […]
