So many people I know complain about setting up Christmas trees and decorations, but I love it. There’s something special about bringing out boxes of decorations and family treasures filled with memories to wrap up another year. Our Christmas tree is quite a production that I’m still putting the finishing touches on. I probably have […]
Tomato Weekend
It’s been such a productive and fun weekend that I’m sad it’s over. The chilly temps in the 30s actually made perfect weather for fast runs Saturday and Sunday mornings. And hubby and I stepped out to see Skyfall and it was awesome! I’ve never been a huge James Bond fan because, while slick and […]
New Purse and Squash Hash
I am rough on purses and shoes, I seem to go through a lot of them with my job and running around like a crazy person sometimes. And finding good vegan-friendly options to replace them isn’t always easy since I don’t like spending a lot of money on something with will probably be taking a […]
Just a Chill Weekend
So happy the weekend is here after an emotionally draining week. Things are getting better at work now that we’re not shorthanded and I’m thankful, but there was still a lot going on this week with training and balancing a huge workload. Hubby and I started the weekend at a new Thai restaurant we found […]
Creamy Spaghetti Squash & Dessert Balls
It’s WTF Thursday here because usually by Thursday I’m running low on fresh ingredients and have to improvise a meal using random items left in the fridge. This is an extra special one since we’re trying to empty the fridge for a trip and I’ve been going slightly mad surviving work and preparing for it […]
Case of the Blahs
This weekend flew by too fast, again. Working 5 hours of overtime yesterday didn’t help. I’m thrilled my job is busy and to have the opportunity to earn extra money, but… Besides working, I’ve been catching up on house chores, breaking in my new Lululemon running pants, and walking these two cuties. Who have been […]
Creamy Tofu Pesto
Happy Halloween! I’m writing this post in between many trips to the front door handing out candy and checking out some really cute costumes … like a fairy/butterfly on inline skates. Yesterday I was so busy catching up on house work, mowing the lawn so kids could find our house, relaxing, and playing with dogs […]
Simple Squash Saute
Happy Friday! And it seemed to take forever to get here, didn’t it? I only had a cold for 3 days of this week, but it felt like an eternity. A running nose and throbbing head pain makes long days seem many times longer. The most frustrating part of having a cold was not being […]
New Vega Product & Mystery Squash
I’m so relieved the long weekend is here and today was a wonderfully relaxing day. Except for my 8-mile run this morning in the heat. Since I’m on a month countdown until another half marathon, I ordered a new flavor of Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer to assist with my training – berry flavor. […]
Just Getting Through It
Today was another exhausting emotional roller coaster with my grandma in the hospital. Before my mom and I visited her in the hospital, we had a quick lunch at her house of salad. For a dressing, I used some of the liquids from her homemade cultured veggies jar to create a dressing. And mixed them […]
