I have a love/hate relationship with my current gym that prompts me to look at other options occasionally. Sure, it’s only $10 a month and they have a plentiful number of treadmills. But it also has crowded and chaotic seasons which we’re in now – everyone wants to look good for summer I guess! There […]
Smoky Butternut Pasta Sauce
Sometimes I wonder why I try. Leela loves to burrow into blankets to stay warm especially in the winter, but that’s gotten difficult now that she’s older and blind and I worry that she’ll get cold if we’re not there to cover her with a blanket. There are pet beds that allow dogs to burrow […]
Sriracha Peanut Dressing
I pretty much love any sort of nut or seed butter based dressing, tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, and sunflower butter are all awesome in dressings. As long as the dressings aren’t too heavy or rich and that’s what I found looking for a good spicy peanut dressing, many dressings called for 1/2 cup or […]
Smokey and Light Cheezy Sauce
Leela and I seem to be on the same page this week – we’d prefer hiding in soft, warm blankets all day. Only she actually gets to do it. Rough life. That’s okay, I get to enjoy this creamy, savory, and smokey cheezy sauce. There are tons of vegan cheese sauce recipes out there, so […]
Gingery Stir Fry Sauce
Yesterday we got a break in the rain for a pretty awesome view of spotty showers from our backyard. And no rain today before it comes back all day tomorrow which poor Miko won’t be thrilled about. Better get in one last long walk this evening! Last night I got a little crazy with a […]
Dilly Hummus Dressing
It’s interesting that Miko’s diet has adapted so much to ours. As soon as he hears me chopping carrots or broccoli in the kitchen, he comes racing into the kitchen because he knows I’ll share. He gets so excited, you’d think I’m tearing open a bag of phony bacon or some other awful processed dog treats. […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry Sauce
Rain, rain, and more rain sums up this week! That’s cool, we need it and I can’t complain when it rains all week and we get perfect weather for the weekend. But the poor pups are not happy at all! It’s not easy coaxing them outside with 40+ MPH wind gusts, Miko would rather sit […]
Basic Potato Leek Soup
Things are a little chaotic with the pet bed situation in front of the fireplace. We gifted the pups with new beds for Christmas, but Leela still loves her old mushroom shaped bed even though she dug off most of the soft layer and it’s looking a little ratty. I tried to relocate it to another […]
Creamy Dijon Quinoa with Kale
Yesterday we got a slight break in the rain and this gorgeous view. Today the all day rain was back and Miko back to refusing to go outside when when he could be toasting his belly instead. I got into dry toasting quinoa before cooking it. Previously I was fearful to get too aggressive with […]
Creamy Garlic Dressing
It has been raining non-stop for the last few days and is down-pouring outside now. I know this is a good thing, California always needs the rain. But I feel for those affected by flooding and getting a little tired of dogs refusing to outside in this weather. The winds are so strong, Miko still […]
