I am back home and still trying to get caught up and back into a routine after a whirlwind of a road trip with my sister to visit my dad after a health scare in southern California. We left early-ish Thursday to make the 7-hour drive and I did all the driving. We were making pretty […]
Sweet Broccoli Curry Soup
Spring is starting to show up here, I spent some time admiring our blooming tree in the backyard with a beautiful sunset. And Miko was not happy with me for forgetting to let him out too, oops! Yes, that is a holiday mat. So what? :-) We have not bought new ones for spring yet. […]
Weekend List
Ah, it’s been a relaxing, lazy weekend here which is a good thing after a crazy week. The weather has been cloudy, foggy, and chilly, perfect for catching up on stuff inside and maybe watching a movie or two. Miko agreed, he was not thrilled with the chilly air on his long walk. He was […]
Curry Ginger Banana Soup
Leela is not a happy camper after her vet appointment yesterday. Her sniffling cold has been hanging around for the last week, so to the vet she went to find out why. Turns out she has a sinus infection, got a shot, and has to take 4 pills a day for awhile now. Poor girl! […]
Vegan Burger & Soup
It’s shaping up to be a crazy week month too. My boss announced that a co-worker and I will be spending a couple of days at a tech conference in the bay area this week which is great I guess, but a little more warning would have been nice! It was a scramble confirming the […]
Simple Lentil Miso Soup
Skipper is always such a sweetie and boy does he love meal time! He got such a workout last night frantically cleaning his bowl, then Miko’s bowl, that he had to lay down and rest in the kitchen. I got a bit of a workout using my spiral slicer on a huge zucchini. I have […]
Vegan Swap Party & Soup in a Wok
It’s been a great weekend so far! One thing that is fabulous about this area is the huge selection of Thai restaurants with great new ones popping up a lot. Friday night hubby and I ventured out to try another new Thai restaurant where I got a vegan tofu drunken noodle dish that had a […]
Broccoli Banana Soup
Whoa, it’s Sunday already? Where did the weekend go? It’s been a great, but busy weekend here. I did get a little down time to enjoy the backyard and start a little yard work. And we got a visit from our neighbor’s sweet kitty. Who is enjoying the long grass in our backyard now. The […]
Sushi, Lentils, and a Dog Party
We have a house full of dogs this weekend while we’re babysitting my mom’s chihuahua. Miko has been competing for attention with him, I can’t go anywhere in the house without them following me and trying to get to my lap first. Leela has been thrilled to have all the fireplace beds to herself frequently […]
Cheesy Avocado Salad
It’s been raining all weekend here, nonstop! And it’s great because this area needed rain so bad, I don’t even mind having to go to the gym to get my long training run in this morning. Heavy wind has also been part of the storms and Miko is very unhappy about that, we have to […]
