Rain, we’re finally getting tons of it here! Along with strong, crazy winds yesterday which the dogs were not thrilled about for their backyard trips. I’ve got to get them out for a long walk and myself out for a long run before it starts again today! This week has been draining and I did not […]
Dr. Michael Greger & Quinoa Leftovers
I miss the long weekend, it was fabulous. We had a lovely Valentine’s day with roses, sweet cards, and gifts. I got hubby books, a new game, nice watch, and this insane limited edition signed Blair’s 2am Reserve extract hot sauce since he’s into hot sauces. I like spicy too, but that’s too insane for me! He […]
Shopping for the Weekend List
Happy Valentine’s Day! Got any fun plans today? We’re planning to hear a famous doctor talk then brave the chaos and go out to dinner – should be fun! And I’m planning a 10 mile training run before because it’s Sunday Run Day! Last weeks training run went much better than expected breaking in new […]
Ginger Brussels Sprouts and Quinoa
I have an interesting relationship with Brussels sprouts, I know they’re amazing nutritional powerhouses. But not easy to enjoy raw even pureed into smoothies and soups with their strong flavor and digestive challenges. Even Sheldon gave up on them on The Big Bang Theory. Cooking helps, but many cooking methods involve lots of oil and/or […]
Curried Quinoa One Pot Meal
It’s been a busy week here and poor Miko has been pouting about us not spending enough time with him, he cuddles up to hubby on the couch while giving me the stink eye while I’m running around cleaning, preparing food in the kitchen, etc. Going to work all day is important for buying them […]
Ginger Broccoli Quinoa and Lentils
Happy Tuesday! Okay, I know, but at least it’s not Monday. Trying to come up with a hearty, healthy, and creative dinner after a long day is challenging to say the least. I wrote this recipe on a whim to create a simple, one pot meal and was barely feeling throwing it together after my […]
Make It An Easy One Pot
Cool things are happening in our backyard like figs getting ripe. I barely got any figs from our fig tree last year because it was so little, there weren’t enough leaves to hide the ripe figs from the birds. But it’s bigger with more leaves this year so I’m hoping to get more! And one of our […]
Weekend List
It’s been a good weekend here so far even though we didn’t get as much rain as we were supposed to and my car is still a dirty mess! Miko has been loving all the attention with us home and doing stuff around the house. I had a girls night out Friday with my mom […]
Weekend List
So far it’s been a glorious long Valentine’s/President’s Day weekend with temps in the 70s and sunny weather. Granted, that fact that it’s so warm and sunny in February here is scary! But might as well enjoy it, right? Hubby has been surprising me with lots of fun little Valentine’s goodies like flowers. And one huge one […]
Tangy Sunchoke Quinoa
We’ve been getting a lot of rain this weekend and that’s good and so are the cool looking clouds. Miko does not agree, he and Leela are getting a little frustrated and bored. I’ve been catching up on a lot of cleaning and a little experimenting in the kitchen. Last week I scored a huge […]
