Happy Birthday to me and it’s been a fun weekend of celebration! Gah, 42! It’s just a number I keep telling myself, but time can fly. It’s been a fun week with the camping trip, short work week, and a fun weekend even though I am still doing laundry and putting stuff away from the […]
Comforting Eats for Tough Times
We’re still here with very frustrated dogs! Currently our air quality status is hazardous from the Camp Fire just north which is the worst rating I’ve ever seen. That rating basically means don’t go outside without a mask and it’s been consistently bad every evening since Friday so no evening walks for us. I’ve been […]
Fun with Hummus
It’s been a week already, I am ready for the weekend. But we are getting cooler temps finally with temps and breezy! So welcome after weeks of smokey heat. Miko has been just a sweetheart patiently waiting for more weekend time too. And enjoying the warm sheets out of the dryer before I put them […]
Simple Summery Dressing
Happy Wednesday! I know, Friday would be better and it’s getting closer. I have been trying to mix up the variety of food we feed the pups so they get a variety of nutrients too. I’ve always been a fan of V-Dog Kibble and get regular shipments of it and V-Dog Wiggle Biscuits. I’ll rotate […]
What We Ate
Whew, this week seems to be flying by and we’ve been flying through fun new dishes and products the last few weeks. One of my favorite weekend breakfasts lately are cheddar grits, but I’m happy with just about any vegan “cheese” melted into grits. Nature’s Path Quick Cook Organic Grits are so simple to cook […]
Simple Eats and Sriracha Dressing
I think Miko misses his buddy, he’s been a little mopey since with just us after a week of dog sitting his friend. I’ve been a little mopey lately too, I was in a crappy mood when I got home Sunday night from picking my mom up from the airport. It was stupid really, but […]
Stuff We Ate
It’s been a busy week, I just have not been feeling too creative in the kitchen beyond focusing on using stuff up and keeping dishes mostly whole food plant based. But this sweet potato tofu curry saute came out great. I chopped up a large sweet potato and simmered it in a little veggie broth, […]
Fast & Simple Week
Happy Wednesday I hope, it’s been a busy, dragging type week here. But we did have a nice Mother’s Day having my mom over for dinner. We chatted on the patio with wine and dogs competing for lap time while hubby prepared a Gardein Holiday Roast with roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts. The roast was […]
New Beds & New Pasta for the List
Wow, April is nearly over and I’m okay with that. I’m kind of ready for summer weather with longer days and more outdoor fun. But I’m already worried that the summer heat will be brutal on Leela, she seems to over heat faster in her old age. Sweet hubby upgraded the pet beds with these […]
Birthday Week Fun
I’m not 40 yet, but having a little fun starting the celebration this week. Miko, as always, has been the sweetest lap buddy. He and Leela got new padded Kong collars because his old one was getting a little ratty and I noticed it seemed to irritate his neck last week. So they’re both styling […]
