A tricky thing about winter is driving to work in the dark and leaving work in the dark and it’s getting closer to those days. Miko and I try to enjoy the last bit of daylight playing in the backyard when I get home while we can. As long as it’s not too cold, he […]
Taking it Easy for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! We’re supposed to get more rain this week and temps have been in the 40s and 30s, what a difference from a couple of weeks ago! I’m not complaining, we need the rain and I get to break out the boots. Anyway, I made it home from our training trip Friday evening after […]
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 […]
Peppermint Chocolate Super Soft Serve
We are ready for Friday here, poor Miko has been following me around the house for more play time. And Smokey would like to remind me that it’s cat box sterilization time again this weekend. One more thing for my chore list. After a busy day, I treated myself to a hearty dessert this week […]
Sunwarrior Smoothies & Simple Meals
The Vegan Zombie guys have the first couple of videos posted from the Vegan Vacation at Sea, Leaving for Seattle and Day 1 Leaving Seattle. Check them out if you want to see video from the cruise. I can’t wait to see the rest of the videos, such happy memories! Leela has been having a rough […]
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 […]
