Happy weekend, finally! It’s been a long week at work and being on call after hours while adjusting to Skipper’s new insulin shot schedule twice a day. Yesterday I was feeling tired and cranky most of the day. It was hot and the air quality here was pretty smokey from a nearby wildfire, so I […]
Creamy Broccoli Quinoa
Today was a crazy day at work, a one-thing-after-another day that at least flew by quick. And I came home to a quieter house since we’re no longer dog sitting my dad’s dog. I think Miko is a little sad to lose his buddy for the last two weeks though. He perked up for an […]
Vacation Wrap Up
We’re back home from Lake Tahoe after getting up early this morning, having a nice breakfast at the resort and driving home long before the traffic rush on 80. I’m glad to be home after such a fun and active vacation even though facing a mountain of dirty laundry emptied from the suitcases. And I […]
Curry Tahini Quinoa
I meant to post this last night, but work had a different plan. It’s been that kind of week here with lots crammed in. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday because of the long days and was slightly depressed when I realized it was only Wednesday. At least the dogs were happy […]
Farm Sanctuary Brunch
It has been a wonderful weekend so far and I’ve been eating like a queen! Whew, really need that long run tomorrow. :-) I met hubby for lunch at Baagan yesterday for my latest addiction – the salad trio plate. It’s a new dish with three salads on one plate and the salads are switched […]
Split Lentils and Broccoli Stew
This has been a strange week at work with announcements of possibly big changes ahead in our department and plenty of work. Sleep has not been super easy with so much on my mind and I get a little cranky when I’m tired. I understood road rage a lot more this morning when a teenager […]
Ginger Lentils & Quinoa
This post is slightly all over the place with odds and ends from the week, but that’s about where I am after a busy week. Thank goodness the weekend is here and I just booked a week long vacation for us in July, I already feel relaxed and can’t wait! Finding good vegan shoes for […]
Tomato Quinoa Stew
It’s almost Friday and I am ready! It’s been a busy week, except for the dogs. I can’t blame them, it rained most of today and I’d rather be balled up in a comfy couch blanket too. Instead I was craving a little comfort food for dinner after a busy work day. When I first […]
Easter Weekend
Even though it was a busy weekend, I still miss it! I had a great 6-mile run Saturday training for an upcoming 12k race. And had enough energy to take the dogs for a long walk after to visit grazing sheep in our neighborhood. They all came to the fence to get a closer look […]
Vegan Broccoli Quinoa Soup
I’m very ready for this week to end. Excuse me while I whine about work for a minute because everyone is sick with some sort of flu again. Three people in our group were out either sick or caring for a sick kid and I spent the day juggling 14 things at once with constant […]
