I’ve been a little obsessed with this refrigerated package of simply pre-cooked lentils from Trader Joe’s. For a few dollars, it has 5 large servings that are ready for soups, salads, or any other fast weeknight creation. And it comes in a packed loaf that’s easy to slice into servings and break apart. Last night […]
Lemon Thyme Quinoa
Miko is not sure about competing with hubby’s latest craze – Farm Heroes Saga. Apparently it’s like Candy Crush with a different twist and I’ve avoided installing Farm Heroes since I’m frustratedly stuck in Candy Crush. After Sunday’s half marathon, I was feeling a little wiped last night… and sore. So it was such a […]
Quick Dill Quinoa
Glad Monday is over, it was a crazy one at work that left me feeling a bit like mush when I got home. I would have started writing this post sooner, but mush brain here was easily distracted by LifeBuzz. Why have I not seen this site before? It’s still raining here and that’s great […]
Creamy Sriracha Dressing
Things have not been letting up at work lately, still a lot going on. Shadow has not been happy about my busy schedule lately either and letting me know about it by walking all over me before bed and cruising the kitchen counters yelling at me in the mornings. Wish I could take him to […]
Curried Tomatoes and Quinoa
I really hate the lack of pockets in women’s clothes in general, but especially women’s running clothes. Thanks to my job, I usually have two and sometimes three smartphones with no pocket options for carrying them. Guys can run in baggy shorts with huge pockets, but we’re lucky if women’s running leggings or skimpy shorts […]
Simple Quinoa Chili
I have a confession to make about football. Well maybe it’s not quite that extreme, I do enjoy games a little bit sometimes. Still the Superbowl is sort of like this for me. Because I work with a lot of football crazy co-workers and listen to some passionate and angry debates about this player’s performance, […]
Balsamic Beet Quinoa
Thank goodness Friday is almost here! Leela agrees, she has been extra cranky this week around the other two dogs, especially when they get near her food or comfy bed. We’ve had Skipper for, wow, almost 6 months now and Leela is still not happy to have him around growling and barking when he gets […]
Moroccan Quinoa
So far it’s been a relaxing weekend here which is nice after a busy week. I got pet beds washed, organized and did some catching up on paperwork in our office, took the dogs for a long walk, completed a few recipes, laundry, kitchen cleaning, had an extended workout at the gym, played Plants vs. […]
Dijon Asparagus & Quinoa
On Thursday I went to another vegan meetup at El Papagayo in Sacramento and it was a great way to continue celebrating good friends and good food after Christmas. I have never been to this gem of a restaurant before, but will be going back soon! It’s not an all vegan restaurant, but they have […]
Curried Quinoa and Raisins
It has been a looooong day here that started with dashing out of the house a 7am with a gym bag and a loaded slow cooker for our office potluck. The timing of Christmas this year is kind of tricky for recipe planning with my full time work schedule, I haven’t really been into preparing […]
