We have sad news this week, our sweet Leela passed away. And it has been sad and strange without her since. It was not a surprise, we’ve known it was coming for a long time now, but it was still painful and tough with everything going on. I really miss our routine of caring for […]
Quiet Easter for the List
Happy Easter and a very unusual one, right? No big family parties this year which has been tough. On our 3rd week of shelter in place mandate here, things are still strange. We’re trying to make the best of it, I am still enjoying sunset runs in place of the gym and this week got […]
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, […]
Changes for the List
Whew, oh happy long weekend! And it’s the last day of August, crazy! As little hints of fall nearing, I am getting excited for turning leaves and pumpkin season. Miko is happy if it means cooler temps for more walks. Things are changing with my job because I got the promotion and am starting in […]
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, […]
Fast Hummus Dressing
It’s been a draining week at work, so much going on that I’m not at all feeling creative when I get home. Luckily not a lot of creative energy is needed for a good salad and salads always feel like a win. Especially when there’s a huge tub of hummus in the fridge ready to […]
Fun in the Rain for the List
Sunday again already? Time flies, but it’s been a great weekend. We’ve been getting a lot of rain this week with off and on storms. So, darn, too stormy to do yard work. We did get a great walk in last Sunday while it was still warm and sunny and visited a cute pair of […]
Summery Dressing
It may be May, but it’s cool and rainy here and will be for the next week or so. Not complaining, I am happy to enjoy more rain and cooler weather to be more appreciative when the summer heat arrives. And, California always needs the rain. Miko is not happy, he is pouting about not […]
Eating Well for the List
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there! I celebrated with my mom yesterday and trying to have a productive day at home today which is turning out to be just as lazy as I prep for a busy week. Leela is doing fine and got good news from her vet appointment, her eye […]
Creatively Healthy
Getting into a healthy, plant-based life style can be daunting with so many decadent plant-based dining out options and processed products coming daily. I’m not complaining! But it can be tough to stick to a whole food plant based diet with so many new options. Shortly after I went vegan in 2010, an amazing plant-based […]
