Hard to believe the 4th of July is almost here and summer weather is in full swing with lots of triple digit heat days. I always have to remind myself it’s okay to throttle back running miles in this weather and embrace my slower pace when I am running outside because even early morning runs […]
Weekend List w/ New Tofu & Protein
It’s been a relaxing weekend so far here, lots of lounging around and Leela burying herself in blankets. And great eats this week. I have been focusing on adding more beans to my diet lately and mainly in salads and soups thanks to inspiration from Dr. Greger. And canned organic beans are cheaper than tofu, […]
Weekend List & Lemon Hummus
Good morning and happy Sunday! I might be addicted to Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine lately because I went twice Friday! I met my mom, sister, and nieces there for lunch and got this wonderfully spicy Kung Pao Tofu with cashews. And hubby was a little disappointed that I went without him because to adores their […]
Weekend List & Getting Summer Ready
Happy Memorial Day weekend, hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far! It hasn’t been too productive here, I spent yesterday running necessary not fun errands like a service appointment for my car, but going to Grocery Outlet after the gym was fun and we scored on more cheap ripe bananas and snack foods. And soaked […]
New Shoes & First Seitan Attempt
After probably spending too much time researching shoes, I decided to try the Brooks Ravenna 7 as my next running shoes. I did a lot of reading, but went with these after the Brooks Shoe Finder recommended them. They are a little obnoxiously bright, but it was either these or boring grey. I broke them […]
Great Sushi & Cheap Bananas for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! I’m having a quiet morning with two lazy chihuahuas in the office and trying to motivate myself for a run after a long week. Smokey has been having a lazy weekend claiming both fuzzy blankets on the couch. And Miko would like more toy throwing time. We stepped over to Grocery Outlet after the […]
Super Smoothies & VeganEgg
Miko does not miss an opportunity for a warm and soft bed. I pulled all our clean bedding out of the dryer and threw on the floor for a few seconds and found a little chihuahua nose sticking out of the pile when I went to pick them up. I can’t blame him, I’ve been […]
Feasting for the Weekend List
So far it’s been a productive and pricey weekend after a fun shopping spree with my sister and some intense de-cluttering. I got inspired to tackle a closet in our house after listening to this Life-Changing Habit podcast episode from No Meat Athlete. We still have a ways to go sorting with evaluating the sentimental value […]
Life & Fitness
Good news, Friday is almost here! And here’s what the tomato plants look like in the AeroGarden after 33 days. From seed to a tomato jungle in a month! The plants are starting to flower and we get to cross pollinate them with a little brush when the flowers are big enough soon. My Sunday […]
Black Bean Pasta for the Weekend List
Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers out there! Hope it’s a wonderful day. We’re planning a casual family gathering to celebrate today which I’m looking forward to. It’s been a great weekend so far, hubby and I saw Captain America Civil War yesterday and it was good … well, duh. And by some awesome lucky […]
