Leela and Miko are still recovering and maybe not talking to me slightly after yesterday. We took them both to the vet for annual shots and nail clippings which I hate putting them through. Leela is a little better about car rides and going to the vet after multiple teeth cleanings, but poor Miko pouted […]
Versatile Cumin Lentils and Quinoa
Thanks to the Pineapple Express, which the massive storm that’s been hitting Northern California for the last two days has been named, it’s been raining non stop here for over 24 hours. No flooding in this area and the winds have not been as bad as predicted, so we’ve been lucky! And getting all the […]
Race Ready
What a week and weekend so far. This is a busy month for me with lots going on at work and the weekends and that’s all good. Hubby and I celebrated our dating anniversary yesterday with fun little gifts, like this cute little 8Bitdo NES30 Bluetooth game controller for my iPad. And stepped out for […]
Spinach Quinoa
Good morning! I’m up early trying to prepare myself for a 7-mile training run while tweaking my running playlists. I saw this 10-minute video on Facebook yesterday and got mesmerized watching it. Philip Wollen does an amazing job of summing up all the issues in the world related to eating meat and how illogical it […]
Eggplant Quinoa
The drought here is scary, lots of water conservation warnings and disturbing images of dried up rivers and lakes. We’ve put our garden plans on hold until conditions improve to conserve water, so we have a lot of dry dirt pots in our backyard with no plants. Skipper has decided they make good beds. We’ve […]
The Fix for Foodies & Pesto Quinoa
Yesterday I headed to Nevada City for a vegan meet up at The Fix for Foodies hosted by Kayle of Cowgirls & Collard Greens. I’ve been there before, but it’s been awhile, so I jumped at this opportunity to hang out with familiar vegan friends and meet new vegans. Nevada City is about an hour […]
Great Vegan Finds
I’m here and back from a little funk. It’s been a crazy week with ups and downs and I just haven’t been too inspired in the kitchen and wanting to disconnect a little. But ready to head into a new week, I hope. Friday we celebrated our wedding anniversary at Seasons 52, a classy restaurant […]
Simple One Pot Broccoli Quinoa
It’s hot again, triple-digit heat all this week. And it’s getting to poor Skipper who has been crashing froggy-style all over the house. Poor old guy comes in from the evening walks and just crashes in the front hall until he has energy to make it to his cooling hammock bed. I keep reminding him […]
Funky Eating
I’m here, really. I’ve been in a bit of a funk the last few days with a lot going on including a sick cat, sick family member, work, and other stresses. Miko was so sweet when I got home from work today ready to play and following me around the house. Shadow is hanging in […]
Tangy Dressing & Busy Eats
Whoa, almost Friday already – sweeeeet! The plus side of a really busy week is time flies. I’ll just say that it’s been another crazy week at work and today was particularly frustrating working with a software rep trying to iron out network and configuration issues for a large upgrade. Coming home to these sweet […]
