Happy New Year! Right? It’s been an interesting week here where Miko has been loving our extra time off for walks and cuddle time. And loving his warm blankets in front of the fireplace. Last weekend we headed to Pushkin’s for lunch where the Vegan Maitake Kale Cesar Salad is insanely delicious with artichoke hearts, […]
Leftovers for the List
It has been a weird, weird week that started with a bad Monday. Work was busy, then we had to evacuate early due to a brush fire nearby and strong winds which thankfully was not a problem. But fires are not taken lightly around here! Then I was not able to get much work done […]
Vegan Steak & Chaos for the List
Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there. We’re heading to my dad’s house shortly for a family gathering. It’s been a lazy weekend here for the pups, Leela has been really into sleeping all day with the weather warming while Miko still loves snuggling in his blanket for the chilly mornings. It’s been a […]
Overloaded for the List
It has been a packed week here, but in a good way having a productive week at work and getting some other projects done. And Miko has been happy to snuggle in his home office bed while we work and he’s just been so cute loving his blanket. Evening walks have been cute and a […]
Productive Long Weekend for the List
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I am pretty excited about having another day off. The weather has been strange all week with storms, hail, rain, and chilly temps. So lots of gym runs and frustrated chihuahuas. Miko has just been a sweet heart, very cuddly with hubby and I and happy to claim the warm sheets […]
Eating Well for the List
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there! I celebrated with my mom yesterday and trying to have a productive day at home today which is turning out to be just as lazy as I prep for a busy week. Leela is doing fine and got good news from her vet appointment, her eye […]
IKEA & Nachos for the List
Happy Cinco De Mayo, have any fun plans today? I ran, did laundry and chores, met my sister at IKEA to find a couch laptop table which is waiting in the box for hubby to assemble, and we made vegan nachos for dinner. Miko has been on cuteness overload this week being a sweet friend. […]
Easter Time for the List
Happy Easter. We hosted a smaller scale family gathering here and spent much of yesterday cleaning and preparing for that. I made this vegan carrot cake recipe, but switched out the frosting with Miss Jones Vanilla Vegan Frosting I found at Sprouts since we could not use the cashew based option in the recipe with […]
Odd Week for the List
It has been a strange and disorienting week starting very early Monday getting my mom to the hospital for hip replacement surgery. Since then, it’s been a busy schedule rotating with my sisters helping her recover, staying overnight for the recommended hours of monitoring, working, and still dealing with this damn cold. Thankfully things are […]
Recovering for the Weekend List
It has not been an easy week, lots of challenges that have me looking forward to things settling down. The biggest stress source has been getting sick while getting my mom ready for a big hip surgery tomorrow, eek! I’ve been fighting off an annoying cold most of last week, that proved to be something […]
