Leela has been a little antsy lately, restlessly following me around the house. And even doing her cute little meerkat pose at the dinner table for extra attention and carrot nibbles. Maybe the holiday stress is getting to her. Or maybe she can’t wait for her presents. I think she’s gonna love the new bed we got her. […]
Healthy Hemp Nog
I’m glad and sad Thanksgiving is over, I could do without the stress and rich eating. But miss the fun time with family and relaxing long weekend. And it means Christmas madness has officially begun! I have a pile of Amazon boxes waiting for me to open and wrap which will happen this weekend, maybe. […]
Creamy Fennel Dressing
We might actually get rain tomorrow … in California. Can you believe it? I am loving the cooling temps for a change, but Miko is not so sure. He’s in a hurry to get through our morning walks before work because it’s chilly now. I’ve been trying to compensate with more playtime inside having 15 minute […]
Creamy Spinach Hemp Sauce
Miko is already getting into the holiday spirit, he picked his snowman toy for our play session last night. And he was ready for me to launch it to the other end of the house for hours, I got tired of throwing before he did. Leela wasn’t so much into the fetch time, it was […]
Fall Curried Apple Dressing
When we first got back from our week long cruise vacation, Smokey was not happy with us. She was right at the door as soon as we opened it with suitcases in hand to yell at us for not being home for a week. And it continued most of the next day with her following us […]
Creamy Zucchini Basil Sauce
Did I mention the chihuahuas love simply steamed spaghetti squash? Especially mixed with V-Dog Kibble. Every time I steam one from our garden, I have to share and they really go gaga for it! Thankfully it’s good for dogs too, low calorie, nutrient-dense, wet fiber is good for everyone. And spaghetti squashes are an easy […]
Cinnamon Fall Dressing
We’re still here struggling to stay cool, it was 108 degrees when I left work for the gym today! And even worse tomorrow, yuck! Miko has been a little tired of being stuck inside. And I’m trying to channel fall and cooler temps with this simple and light salad dressing. It’s sweet, has a warming […]
Pumpkin Seed Pesto
I am still working through a lot of spaghetti squash from our garden and must plant more next year since it seems to be a top producer! That’s great for the chihuahuas, they both love simply steamed spaghetti squash added to their dinner bowls. But last night I was drawing a blank on what to do with […]
Super Cheesy Hemp Sauce
Happy Tuesday, hope your week is going good! I’m feeling energized after a good workout at the gym and recovering from Sunday’s 9-mile run. I’d like to be one of those runners who can just run lots of miles all the time, multiple marathons a year and tons of energy. I’m starting small tackling longer runs on […]
Simple Savory Cauliflower Soup
Almost Friday and that’s great, I’m ready! I’ve been flying solo this week with hubby on business travel which sounds a lot more relaxing than it is working all day and maintaining the house and pets in the evening. But I picked up something at Whole Foods last weekend to treat myself with over the […]
