I am glad the weekend is here, 5 day work weeks are brutal after a blissfully long Thanksgiving weekend! The weather is still crazy, freezing cold rain most of the night and snow flurries today! Enough to stick around our patio for a bit until the sun came out and melted it away. Pretty rare […]
Warming Lentils and Quinoa
Things are looking more festive here now that the Christmas tree is decorated. And so is our orange tree in the backyard. It’s freezing, temps are supposed to be in the low to mid 20s tonight. Orange trees, like chihuahuas, do not like freezing temps. Luckily I still had some old-school C9 Christmas house lights […]
Quinoa with Anise Seed
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, it’s been productive and relaxing here so far. We watched our neighbor cover their house in Christmas decorations yesterday and I love it, think I ready to decorate ours. :-) The weather is getting chilly with lows in the 30s this weekend and I also love that, great […]
Sriracha Quinoa
Hooray, tomorrow is Friday! And I took a huge chunk out of my Christmas shopping today! I’m trying to have it all done before December to stress less and enjoy the festivities, sounds good in theory – right? Smokey is not impressed with our Candy Crush obsession lately. Did you know if you time out […]
Vegan Chef Challange at Tower Bridge Bistro
Good morning, I’m up early before the sun again this morning, but thankfully got a good night’s sleep last night and feeling much better. Amazing how emotional and drained lack of sleep can make me feel, not fun! Last night hubby and I had another amazing dinner out for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge, I’m […]
Half Marathon PR & Simple Basil Dressing
We tried and for a long time were successful at avoiding the Candy Crush Saga addiction. But temptation finally got the best of us and hubby and I have been sneaking in levels here and there. Hey, it’s a fun game and the levels are short and sweet for when you just need to focus […]
Curried Comfort Food
Well hello, Monday, what are you doing back so quick? It was a productive weekend banging out chores and pulling off a 9-mile run for half marathon training. After a day full of rain Saturday it’s starting to feel like fall here finally! The pups are enjoying the cooler temps. It’s almost chilly at night […]
Creamy Pesto Quinoa
It’s been a good weekend so far, productive and catching up on stuff around the house. Skipper’s vet appointment yesterday went okay, his blood sugar is still too high so his insulin dose has been increased and he goes back for another follow up next week. Giving him his insulin shots is getting tough, he’s […]
Curried Edamame Quinoa
Well, here we are back to Monday. Yay. The weekend buzzed by too quick as usual, but it was a packed and fun weekend. Saturday I ran around on errands and to the gym and crammed in chores before leaving in the afternoon to start the 2 hour drive to Escalon for hubby’s band gig. […]
Creamy Balsamic Quinoa
Happy long Labor Day weekend! It’s been a leisurely day here with a trip to the gym, Whole Foods, and dog walks. But poor Skipper is getting a little tired of the summer heat, he crashed in grassy shady spots a few times during today’s walk. It took some gentle coaxing to get him moving […]
