Friday eve, finally! We’ve been getting rain and that’s great for the drought, but not great for my sinuses apparently and/or it’s a cold. Either way it’s annoying. I’ve been feeling stuffed up the last few days groggy with sinus headaches and other cold symptoms and tired and sluggish at the gym. So this will […]
Split Lentil Soup
This week is moving quickly, Wednesday already! And tonight is our last night of freezing temps for awhile and that’s alright with me. And the chihuahuas too, hopefully they’ll be more willing to go outside! Tonight they’re happy to park it by the fireplace. Skipper is happy to thoroughly check the kitchen floor for more […]
Leftovers and More Leftovers
Can’t believe this blissfully long weekend is almost over and I have to go back to work tomorrow. Sigh. Oh well, it’s been a great weekend of relaxing, running, working out, shopping, and eating – oh my the eating! Friday night I took a break from Thanksgiving leftovers and headed out to Baagan for a […]
Simple Chili Soup
I’m picky about what we feed the dogs after being horrified at what’s in most cheap dog foods. I’m always looking for healthy, vegan-friendly dog food and treats that won’t break our budget with three dogs now. Luckily they seem pretty happy with V-Dog food, but they also get a lot of treats. I’m just […]
Creamy Tomato Soup
Hooray, Friday is almost here. And we’re still hanging in there with Skipper, it’s been almost two weeks with him now but feels longer since so much has happened. I’m adjusting to giving him insulin shots twice a day and updating my morning routine to include that before work. It’s still a nerve racking process […]
Avocado Beet Soup
Whew, it’s almost Friday! I’m so glad after another weird and busy week at work. I’ve been in a stressed out funk the last two days with so much going on and I’m pretty sure the pups know it. They’ve been carefully watching and following me and being sweet little lap buddies when I finally […]
Missing the Weekend
It was a fantastically fun and busy weekend, but getting up this morning for work was brutal! After a busy and fun day Saturday of visiting the farm sanctuary, shopping, and eating out, I got up early Sunday to head out on a 5-mile training run for an upcoming 12k race and prepare food for […]
Super Saturday
It’s been a chilly day, just 25 degrees this morning and my poor garden was covered in frost. It was a wonderfully relaxing morning cuddling with warm dogs, drinking coffee, and starting the day with a huge green smoothie and a good workout. I’ve been having fun watching documentaries on Netflix during home workouts lately. […]
Fennel Pepper Soup for One
Hooray for tomorrow being Friday! I am ready to end this week and look forward to a relaxing weekend. I spent too much time today spinning my wheels on a software issue at work with frustrating results and too many other deadlines to meet. I hate stressful days at work, it can be so hard […]
Simple and Healthy Recipes
Whew, what a weekend! Where to start?!?! The weather was cold and gloomy all weekend, I have not seen sunlight in over a week now and I’m really starting to miss it. I’m going hiking as soon as we get a sunny weekend! But our weather was a cake walk compared to the rest of […]
