Did you have a good 4th? It was quiet here, we avoided a family gathering with climbing Covid-19 cases and it was a bummer. But we did discover the 4th is a great day to shop for garden goodies for our new backyard. Check out the progress! Basically half of our yard is being cleared […]
Smoky Summer Dressing
Summer is officially here, my car read 102 degrees outside leaving work today. Leela is not happy about the heat and prefers to sleep in thee AC all day. Miko does not seemed bothered at all and ready for warm lap time and blanket cuddles. Hot dishes aren’t very appealing in this heat, but smoky […]
Lentils and a New Dressing
It is pouring rain outside again and we’ve got frustrated, lazy pups wanting a walk. But Miko will have nothing to do with wind and rain and poor Leela gets disoriented more easily in windy weather. And she probably prefers sleeping after a busy play date with my mom’s dog. It’s been awhile, too long, […]
Vegan Ham & Great Eats
What a week and it’s only Wednesday. More like Thursday since I’m taking Friday off for a long weekend. I need it, we need it. And it’s supposed to rain all weekend here which is cool because we need that too. Our weather for Easter Sunday was perfect, I enjoyed a great morning run and […]
Easy One Pot Meals
Smokey had the right idea Sunday, snuggle up on the couch all day. I was tempted after my long run and long week! But laundry and house work called and so did these World Peas BBQ Fava Crisps for an afternoon snack. I wasn’t sure what to expect – can fava beans make a good […]
Cooling Salads
I have been a boring person this week bogged down with work and maybe a little cranky from the stress and heat. Thankfully this week is almost over and it won’t be so hot next week and hopefully quieter at work. The pups will love an opportunity to get outside more. When we get triple […]
Simple Creamy Dill Dressing
Smokey has been enjoying sunbathing time in the summer heat. And attacking hubby through the curtains for a little play time. Sounds like the life to me, I’d happily trade the last two days at work for it! No lazy summer days for us lately, but I’m celebrating what’s left of summer with another simple summery […]
Fermenting & Getting Inspired by Dr. Neal Barnard
The week is chugging along here, sweet Miko was sitting in the office with me this morning waiting for something exciting like walk time. My exciting week-long wait for home fermented sauerkraut is over and now I have two huge bowls of probiotic garlic dill sauerkraut stashed in the fridge. I’m sad to say that I have […]
Simple and Flavor Packed Salad
Whew, Friday is almost here. It’s been a busy week, except for the chihuahuas who have been little couch potatoes. I think Leela is pouting at me for not enough walks and attention. I spent all day today at an IT conference which is always a nice break from work for learning and networking. And […]
Super Tangy and Probiotic Salad
Miko is recovering from his vet visit last week to have two teeth removed and he’s almost done with his medication which we’ll both appreciate not having to deal with pills twice a day! Leela is happy to tunnel herself into blankets this week, she’s been feeling anti social. I don’t blame her after having […]
