The summer heat is causing a bit of running burnout for me. That’s pretty typical in June and July here, even running on a treadmill in an air conditioned gym is draining when it’s 100 degrees outside. And Sunday outdoor runs have just seemed sluggish and slower reminding me I need to start getting out before 8 […]
Fiery Peppercorn Dressing
Poor Leela has been a little lonely and clingy this week. She’s on antibiotics before a teeth cleaning appointment and not liking the side effects. I’m not liking having to sneak shove a dropper full of medicine into her mouth twice a day! Miko is not liking feeling left out of the medicine party even after […]
Simple Hemp Herb Dressing
Popping in with a quick recipe post here, it’s been a crazy week at work and I’m preparing for an upcoming training trip. Sometimes balancing blogging and everything else during a work week is challenging and I had a great talk about that with a blog reader at our Halloween party last weekend about trying […]
Coconut Curry Dressing
I am loving the fall feeling here, temps in the 70s this week with a cool breeze and leaves are turning. Finally after an insanely hot and dry summer. And Halloween is almost here! I have never been a costume person, I wasn’t even good at dressing up as a kid possibly because most of […]
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 […]
Simple Tangy Avocado Dressing
Thursdays can be tough during a busy week sometimes feeling like I just need to make it to Friday, especially before a 3 day weekend – woohoo! It’s not tough for Smokey, everyday is a weekend day for her basking in the sunshine or snuggling in her favorite couch blanket all day. The chihuahuas find […]
Kicky Tomato Dressing
My long birthday weekend is going well, I could get used to relaxing mornings to take the dogs for leisurely walks, go to the gym, drink coffee, go for runs outside, etc. It’s back to the grind tomorrow after another day of fun today and I guess that’s a good thing too. My niece made […]
Cauliflower Can Be Creamy and Delicious
It’s feeling like summer already here with lots of sunshine and making it difficult to face spending a day in the office. I’ll probably be singing a different tune when we hit triple digit heat, but for now we’re enjoying more time playing in the backyard. Miko loves racing around for his toy. Not Smokey, […]
How Hemp Seeds Can Be Creamy Comfort Food
It’s been a feisty week here so far, the chihuahuas seem to have spring fever. Miko has been taunting Leela more to play chase. Leela wants nothing to do with it and turns into a growling tornado when she’s decided she’s had enough. That’s Miko’s queue to hide under the table for a bit while she […]
Sweet and Spicy Tahini Brings a Salad to Life
I’ve officially completed my second hot vinyasa yoga class at Zuda Yoga thanks to ClassPass and I’m starting to really like it and get the hang of it, I’m tempted to work up to an advance level if I can fit the classes in with my current gym/work schedule. There is something very therapeutic and relaxing […]
