When it comes to smoothies, there are many different directions you can go from a light serving alternative to fruits and veggies to a full on hearty meal replacement. I’m more of a meal replacement girl, smoothies are my go to for fast, healthy, energizing, and nutritious meals on the go and my favorite for […]
Mint Cocoa Smoothie & Summer Dressing
Happy, relaxing weekend! Well maybe not for Leela. She’s pouting about Smokey discovering her favorite bed by the fireplace and hogging it. Looks like we need to pick up another bed! I’ve been enjoying decadent chocolate mint smoothies the last few days thanks to NuNaturals NuStevia Cocoa Mint Syrup. I should probably be coming up […]
Feeling Fall
As awesome as October can be, I’m glad it’s over because it was a month for me! It feels like I ran the Urban Cow 6 months ago, not one month ago! This year October was an emotional roller coaster of sadness losing Skipper and Shadow, celebration, lots of drama at work, and some adventure. […]
Another What I Ate Wednesday
It’s been a bit of a draining week at work, lots of people out and chaos. Nothing I can’t handle, but looking forward to the weekend and blowing off steam at the gym has helped. My mom’s cat likes to shred toilet paper rolls and bath mats for a little stress relief. And it’s exhausting […]
Smoothie Treat, Grilling, & A Cranky Fourth
Hate to say it, but I’m so glad the fourth is over! And hopefully my neighbors are done with their illegal fireworks for the sake of our dogs! They started celebrating Thursday night and Leela was not happy about that. Little miss cranky woke me up a few times during the night terrified and snarling […]
What I Ate Wednesday with Salad
Ah, getting closer to the long weekend and I’m ready. Shadow is hanging in there, he seems stable and has his follow up vet appointment tomorrow. He’s started playing catch-me-if-you-can when it’s pill time which is a time consuming game when I’m trying to rush out the door in the morning. Thankfully he seems to […]
WIAW with Leftovers and Curry
Miko has discovered that Skipper is older and a little slower being blind, so he’s mastered sneaking parts of Skipper’s treats while he’s crunching them up and eating them like a little ninja. So innocent looking. Don’t worry, Skipper still gets plenty of food and treats with multiple meals a day. It’s What I Ate […]
Fast Times for WIAW
It’s been awhile, so I figured it’s time to participate in What I Ate Wednesday! I started the morning with 2 cups of coffee with almond milk and NuNaturals powdered stevia while I flipped through Peas and Thank You for recipe inspiration for hubby’s birthday celebration this weekend. Mornings tend to be a little hectic […]
Raw Protein and Dill Dip
Skipper out of the blue today became obsessed with a cat toy and did not want to give it up. We had to rescue it before he ate the fluffy end, though that would have been interesting. I guess that means he’s feeling better and becoming more stabilized on his current insulin dosage since he’s […]
Eating Through Chaos
So happy the weekend is finally here, it’s been a strange, sad, and stressful week. I’ve been feeling exhausted this week with work being so busy and all the bad news I think, just feeling worn out and really looking forward to some down time. I felt the need to treat myself this morning with […]
