We’ve gone from winter to summer with a high in the 90s today and the pups are in full lazy summer mode already. The heat did not stop me from roasting sweet potatoes in the oven, especially when the recipe is kicky and sweet without oil. Kicky Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes 2 large sweet potatoes […]
Fun & Simple
Gosh, November already?! Well, happy World Vegan Day! I know, everyday is world vegan day for vegans. But what started as a November 1st celebration has expanded to an entire month long vegan celebration and is a great excuse for vegans to get out more and be a positive influence for the loving lifestyle. I celebrated by wearing […]
More Easy Meals
Rain, rain, and lots of rain! It’s pretty much supposed to rain non-stop through Sunday … maybe even longer. Not a bad thing, we need it! But we’ll be seeing possible lightening storms on my 18-mile run day and I may be heading to the gym for that one. Boo, guess I’d better start finding […]
New Kitchen Toy & Vegan Chili
Fall is in full swing here and I love it even if there’s a chance my 18-miler will be in the rain this weekend. Miko is not loving the rain and protested his walk this morning on the wet pavement, he’s loving time snuggled in his warm blanket. Fall and winter means lots of chili […]
Balsamic Sweet Potato Wedges
I think Leela is preparing for winter because she has had quite the appetite lately begging as much as Miko and even running over to Miko’s dinner bowl to eat the rest of his V-Dog when he steps away. So innocent. She is the master of weight control, she’s always the exact same weight for her annual checkups […]
Simple Baked Sweet Potatoes
Good news, Friday is almost here! And we’re still getting spaghetti squashes from our garden, I pulled two more along with a funky cucumber and eggplant yesterday. We only planted two spaghetti squash plants, but they’ve been producing like crazy unlike my kale or tomato plants this year. It’s been an odd year with the […]
Long Short Week
Happy Saturday! For a short week at work, it felt long after working a full day on New Year’s Eve and spending most of New Year’s Day working on the house. But glad we got a lot accomplished and feeling productive is a great way to start the new year. And this weekend is already […]
WIAW for a Crazy Tuesday
Happy Wednesday, this week is getting closer to being over! And I actually documented everything I ate yesterday for What I Ate Wednesday, something I have not remembered to do in awhile! Breakfast A smoothie with Garden or Life’s Raw Protein, a banana, kale, and a carrot that disappeared on the drive to work. Snack I […]
Fall Stir Fry & Hot Pink 10K
It is nice to be relaxing at home now because it’s overcast and chilly outside and I’m a bit wiped after running a very hilly 10K which I’ll be feeling tomorrow for sure! Last night I got creative with a sweet potato for dinner. Even though I adore them, I haven’t been cooking them as […]
Curry Sweet Potato Fries
Another weekend gone, wow. Unlike last weekend, this one was much more relaxing with not much on the agenda. We caught up on house work, took long dog walks, had a fabulous dinner out last night, and saw Pitch Perfect today which was actually a great movie, lots of funny and projectile vomit for a […]
