While driving to work yesterday, I caught a story on NPR about climate change and the drastic changes we need to make now so the next generation has a chance to be happy. Nothing really new, but I found myself feeling the same way I have been on long runs lately – feeling like I’m gasping […]
Getting Better for the Weekend List
I am feeling much better and even had two decent training runs at the gym and a just okay long run outside today. The weather has not been very spring-like the last few days with chilly rain and storms. Since we’re getting sunshine today, we had to take advantage of that for yard work and long […]
Still Under The Weather
I am so glad this week is almost over because I am still sick with this cold thing. It’s almost over – I hope, still stuffy with head and ear pressure and rain over the next few days probably won’t help. But steaming bowls of Imagine Foods Organic Red Bliss Potato Soup has been helping. […]
2017 SacTown 10-Mile Race
I am still dealing with this cold thing and frustrated about that! Head pressure, sore throats, run off, runny nose, and other unpleasant symptoms for the last week or so. It’ll pass, I know, and it’s not the end of the world. But it sure makes trying to function at work crappy. And made for […]
Great Eats and Tough Week for the List
Whew, the pups have the right idea this week. They’ve been extra cuddly and sweet. And I am gonna get in some more couch time myself shortly! I did the SacTown 10-mile race this morning as part of our 100-miles of races challenge this year and I am wiped! That race story will be coming […]
Smokey and Light Cheezy Sauce
Leela and I seem to be on the same page this week – we’d prefer hiding in soft, warm blankets all day. Only she actually gets to do it. Rough life. That’s okay, I get to enjoy this creamy, savory, and smokey cheezy sauce. There are tons of vegan cheese sauce recipes out there, so […]
Plant Based Journey with Lani Muelrath
Whew, where did today go? It was busy, and not enough time to get to accomplish what I wanted. Sunday I met a lot of other vegan friends at Zest Kitchen (formerly Baagan) for an inspiring talk and book signing by Lani Muelrath. I grabbed my favorite chana chickpea wrap for lunch with a kombucha […]
Nachos and Essential Oils for the Weekend List
Hello and happy Sunday – I wish everyday could be Sunday sometimes, but I guess having a job and getting stuff done is important. Friday it rained all day and Miko was not interested in leaving his warm blanket to go outside. Can’t blame him! It was windy and chilly for my long run again […]
Gingery Stir Fry Sauce
Yesterday we got a break in the rain for a pretty awesome view of spotty showers from our backyard. And no rain today before it comes back all day tomorrow which poor Miko won’t be thrilled about. Better get in one last long walk this evening! Last night I got a little crazy with a […]
Avocado Parsley Dressing
The rain is back this week which is a good thing, except when unhappy chihuahuas refuse to go outside. Oh the angry stares I got this morning through the patio screen. I get it, the weather was crazy today – heavy rain, strong winds, and even thunder and lightening which catches us by surprise here […]
