On Sunday night, I headed to my first vegan potluck in Sacramento for a presentation by Jed Soliz of Team Veg. I played it safe taking a huge spinach meal salad with kidney beans and my avocado ranch dressing, but had a blast sampling many unique dishes other vegans brought including a curry couscous, Indian […]
Tuscan Avocado Dressing
Friday is almost here, finally! It’s been a long week here with lots going on at work and in life in general. And I had a conflicted vegan moment today because it’s the first day of our local summer farmer’s market and I really wanted to stop by after work. But I got a farm […]
Tahini Dill Dressing
Back to reality after another fun weekend and summer is officially here with temps in the 90s and 100s, eek! The pups have been perfectly happy to lounge inside enjoying the air conditioning with hubby. And I’m happy to enjoy cool, hydrating, raw salads in the dry heat, especially when they’re coated in creamy tahini […]
Play Days and Curry Apple Dressing
Happy Saturday. We’re nice and relaxed here, Leela has not been wanting to get out of bed the last few mornings. I took yesterday off work and hubby and I have basically been playing and relaxing the last two days and it’s been wonderful after a strange and stressful work week. I took Friday off […]
Versatile Creamy Asian Sauce
Oh boy, Monday again. Actually this one isn’t too bad since I’m not on call for work this week and I’m taking a much needed day off. Mondays are a great opportunity to start the week of food off right. In one of the raw vegan recipe classes I went to awhile back, we were […]
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
Monday is almost over, whew! And happy Earth Day! Doing anything special to celebrate? Not me … besides being a vegan, driving an electric car, and composting. :-) Composting is an interesting adventure that can be messy and take up a lot of space, but LifeHacker posted a super easy method to create instant compost […]
Sour Avocado Dressing
It’s been very windy here the last few days, probably my least favorite weather especially for running! Good thing I’ve been on run rest since Sunday’s 12k and hitting the elliptical while trying to catch up on Mad Men. Miko is not a fan of the wind either avoiding even going into the backyard to […]
Strawberry Chia Dressing
I’m so happy the weekend is finally here and we’ve been living it up already celebrating hubby’s birthday with a little fine dining last night where I might have had too many amazing garlic fries and wine. So today we’ve been laying a little low relaxing and playing. And I crammed in a lot of […]
Tomato Quinoa Stew
It’s almost Friday and I am ready! It’s been a busy week, except for the dogs. I can’t blame them, it rained most of today and I’d rather be balled up in a comfy couch blanket too. Instead I was craving a little comfort food for dinner after a busy work day. When I first […]
Creamy Lemon Dressing
After a fun and busy weekend, I wish I could stay home with these two this week! It hasn’t been easy to get back into work mode and healthy eating after the Easter weekend, especially with work stress and the massive amounts of leftover Easter candy people have been bringing into work. There are unopened […]
