It may be May, but it’s cool and rainy here and will be for the next week or so. Not complaining, I am happy to enjoy more rain and cooler weather to be more appreciative when the summer heat arrives. And, California always needs the rain. Miko is not happy, he is pouting about not […]
Kicky Parsley Dressing
Wow, Easter is almost here, crazy. And we’re hosting at our house this year and we’re hardly ready, eek. But that’s okay, it’s been that kind of month and we plan to keep it casual. There is still a dog competition going on here with Miko and my mom’s dog, Dasher, who is very camera […]
Sauerkraut Dressing
I had to throw the towel in and email my doctor because after 2 weeks the cough and cold symptoms were not going away. So I’m on 5 days of antibiotic to tame possible infections which can cause other challenges killing good bacteria too. So I’m throwing in more pro and prebiotics this week with […]
Spring Berry Dressing
Happy first day of spring. It wasn’t very spring-like today with thunderstorms and hail! But I’m not complaining about getting rain and the sun should be back tomorrow. I am celebrating spring with this simple dressing. I love just about all berries, great in smoothies, oatmeal, and frozen in wine. They’re also great in a […]
Winter Blues Dressing
It’s been raining just a bit here, pretty much non-stop since Monday and we’re starting to see flooding in Northern California now. Thankfully not by us yet, but poor Miko has been very frustrated with the weather. We got a brief break in the rain this afternoon, hubby tried to get him out for a […]
Simply Powerful Garlic Dressing
Miko would like the weekend to be here, he’s ready for more couch cuddle time with hubby. Me too. I’ve been hitting my usual grind of home elliptical workouts or gym treadmill workouts after work and simple veggie stir fries. I was so excited to find zucchini and yellow squash at Costco, love those in […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
The Dog Days and Great Eats for the List
Things are still pretty smokey here and the news of the fires pretty sad. Friday night and Saturday morning was really bad with layers of ash now, so we’ve been spending more time indoors catching up on projects and playing retro video games. Miko is still frustrated with not enough walks. After a breezy night, […]
New Summer Dressing
Yes, California is on fire again and the increasing number of wild fires here every summer and fall is scary. We’re still getting smoked out from the large fires north, the view from our backyard is icky. Climate change is real and scary and my heart aches for those losing homes or worse. Okay, too […]
Make This Dressing
Miko was not happy with me on this dressing recipe, he didn’t understand why I wouldn’t share. Don’t worry, I shared plenty of carrots and beans with him. But this recipe packs raw garlic which is not good for dogs. But powerfully good for humans compared to cooked garlic. It also has raw ginger and […]
