Whew, Friday is almost here. Pesto is awesome, right? It’s creamy, rich, savory, decadent, and has a lovely garlic kick. But the traditional recipes are too decadent packed with oil and cheese, it’s a greasy way to add too many calories, a nutritional nightmare! Basil is tasty and it smells heavenly. But it’s nutritional profile […]
Beast Burger & Mushroom Avocado Dressing
Made it through another busy Tuesday, woohoo! Leela did too by spending most of it under her layers of blankets. Poor girl still has snuffly sinus issues after weeks of taking medication for a sinus infection and we need to go back to the vet about it. Miko is happy as always and ready to […]
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 […]
Sweet Broccoli Curry Soup
Spring is starting to show up here, I spent some time admiring our blooming tree in the backyard with a beautiful sunset. And Miko was not happy with me for forgetting to let him out too, oops! Yes, that is a holiday mat. So what? :-) We have not bought new ones for spring yet. […]
Creamy Basil Dressing
Tuesdays aren’t my favorite day of the week. It’s still far from Friday and typically really busy at work and at the gym. It’s a long day that starts early in the morning when I drop the chihuahuas off at their daycare, or my mom’s house, before work and head to a busy gym right […]
Sweet & Spicy Tahini Dressing
Miko has recovered from our dog-sitting weekend and is happy to have hubby’s lap all to himself again. And Smokey is happy to have her favorite red blanket back and not have to hide in our closet. I’m happy to be stocked with a lot of tahini in the pantry, I could eat it […]
Curry Ginger Banana Soup
Leela is not a happy camper after her vet appointment yesterday. Her sniffling cold has been hanging around for the last week, so to the vet she went to find out why. Turns out she has a sinus infection, got a shot, and has to take 4 pills a day for awhile now. Poor girl! […]
Mushroom Avocado Dressing
Thank goodness Friday is almost here, I am ready for this week to end. So is Miko, he’s been pouting for more play time and not happy at us for coming home tired and cranky. I can’t blame him! Smokey is still ready for more attention and to steal Miko’s camera time. I’m ready to […]
Weekend & Avocado Miso Dressing
Hi and happy Superbowl Sunday! We’re having a casual family gathering where I’ll be enjoying the company and commercials more than the game. And trying not to eat too many chips and guacamole! Friday hubby and I headed to Tower Bridge Bistro again for this weekend’s vegan menu and sampled everything between us. The charred […]
Balsamic Beet Dressing
Thank goodness Friday is almost here, it’s been a week at work! Always nice to come home to a sweet hubby and Miko ready for couch cuddling. Also nice to keep dinners simple, nutrient dense, and delicious. And this balsamic beet dressing recipe fits the bill being avocado and beet based and packing a tangy […]
