After a long day at work, it was nice to get home and relax with these guys. Not sure Miko was ready to relax, he sat eagerly in my lap determined to not let me catch up on my Words With Friends games. Maybe he’s right, having 15 active games is a bit much. A […]
Hemp Spinach Soup
When I’m flying solo for dinner, I’m usually not sitting at the table alone. Shadow sits and pouts in hubby’s seat starring at me as if asking what I did with his favorite guy. I try to convince Shadow he’ll be home shortly, but he just stares at me with that worried and sad look. […]
Field Roast Stew
Sunday already? Wow! Sad to see this pleasantly quiet weekend end. The weather was windy, cold, and rainy most of the weekend which was a great excuse to stay home and enjoy the fireplace. Yes, Miko is passed out on the hearth with my sock that he somehow got out of the laundry hamper, sneaky […]
Balsamic Spinach Wraps
Today wasn’t exactly a party for me at work playing catchup from the holidays and running on a not-so-great night of sleep after breaking my no food after 7PM rule last night – shame on me! But I’m glad someone is having a party with his stuffed cow toy. The toy is almost as big […]
Hemp Mustard Dressing
In talking to my mom and sister today, I noticed we vented continuously about feeling stressed, crunched for time, strung out, etc. My mind raced as I listened to all their stresses and tallied my own. That’s been the trend for me this week settling back into a busy schedule at work, catching up with […]
Simple Sauteed Edamame Salad
I’m ready for Friday and it’s only Tuesday, that can’t be good! We’re still super busy at work and when I got home from work tired and cranky, I was treated to this cute scene. Miko has decided the fireplace hearth is his personal sauna toasting his little rear. The goofball will toast himself until […]
New Family Member
Remember how I said I almost adopted another chihuahua last weekend? Well, funny story: hubby and I went back to that pet store today and the same dog rescue group was there and so was the chihuahua. So I had hubby spend some time with him and… Meet Miko, the latest addition to our family! […]
Tahini Quinoa & Quick Salad
What’s really frustrating about this week is that even though it’s been busy, it seems to be going by slowly! So hooray for tomorrow being Friday! There’s still so much going on at work and I just feel like I need more time to catch my breath and catch up with my growing task list. […]
Splurge Bender
I am literally counting down the days to a project deadline at work when things finally settle down because this week has been so busy. Sadly that won’t be until next week with a finale of me working the weekend I’ll also be running a half marathon – good times! Good thing about being so […]
Frustrating Friday
I had planned to have more exciting eats today for dinner, but it didn’t turn out that way. Today was a frustrating end to a stressful week. Work was insane again with lots going on, but I did manage to break away with co-workers for lunch at a Thai restaurant. And an interesting/annoying mix-up happened […]
