I am still getting used to California being “open” again, it does not feel right to go into a store without a mask after making that a habit for so long. And maybe that’s a good thing for now with the variants out there. We got a little break from the heat last week where […]
Keeping Busy for the Weekend List
Whew, it has been a week and a crazy weekend! And I still have a lot to do which I’m thankful for. It’s been cold and foggy here too and the views from our morning dog walks have been gorgeous. Miko’s idea of a good weekend is plenty of fireplace toasting, especially in the chilly […]
Great Race for the List
Whoa, where did the weekend go already? It’s been a good weekend, productive and I had a great 10-mile race yesterday and great run at the gym today. Friday night I made a simple pre-race dinner of curried lentils and quinoa with veggies, quinoa or any simple grain dish seems to be a great pre-race […]
Heat and Fun Eats for the Weekend List
Whew, it is hot today with a high of 105 degrees! I got the dogs out for a walk early this morning before the heat kicked in, but it still wiped poor Leela out who has been crashed in the air conditioning all day. Bummer is we’re supposed to get triple digits all week with […]
Marching On for the List
After preparing and rushing for a half marathon and losing an hour last weekend, it’s been nice to chill a bit this weekend and Miko is always ready to chill on his favorite soft couch blanket with me while binge watching X-Files. Leela made herself a cozy bed in the pile of warm blankets that […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
Getting Inspired for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday, I am thankful to have a 3 day weekend because I have been dealing with a nasty cold and/or bug that has been ripping through work and making a lot people miserable for weeks in some cases. I even had to take a sick day this week with a slight fever and extremely […]
Creamy Dijon Quinoa with Kale
Yesterday we got a slight break in the rain and this gorgeous view. Today the all day rain was back and Miko back to refusing to go outside when when he could be toasting his belly instead. I got into dry toasting quinoa before cooking it. Previously I was fearful to get too aggressive with […]
Simple and Healthy Taper Eats
Things are kind of a blur here after two really busy days at work, Thanksgiving planning, marathon planning, Christmas planning, Rouxbe Cooking Program, and trying to help update the local vegetarian society websites. That’s all good busy though and Miko wants nothing to do with it, snuggling under blankets and in front of the fireplace are […]
Wine Party & Tapering for the List
Just wow on Thanksgiving almost being here! I’ve been invited to a couple of vegan Thanksgiving dinners through local vegan Meetup groups which is awesome, it’s so great knowing there’s a large group of vegans in the area that want to celebrate together. This year we’ll be spending it locally with family, but it will […]
