Miko has been a little blue the last few days, he got used to us spending more time with him for the holidays and not happy about us getting back the grind. He is so eager to play when we’re home shoving his new toy in our faces while we’re trying to watch TV. Can’t […]
Super Garlic Tahini Dressing
We’ve made it past the halfway point of the week and the holidays are getting closer. These two snuggle buddies are ready. With the holidays comes our department holiday potluck and white elephant gift trade. I have a love/hate relationship with potlucks, I tend to over stress about what to bring bordering on I want […]
Tahini Roasted Eggplant
It’s been hot here the last few days and Miko knows how to spend hot days – snuggled in his favorite blanket enjoying the air conditioning! I plan on spending similar time for the long weekend ahead! Eggplant has always been a challenge to prepare for me, frying attempts in the past has resulted in […]
Gingery Stir Fry Sauce
Yesterday we got a break in the rain for a pretty awesome view of spotty showers from our backyard. And no rain today before it comes back all day tomorrow which poor Miko won’t be thrilled about. Better get in one last long walk this evening! Last night I got a little crazy with a […]
Tahini Curry Sauce
The rain is finally gone, we got sunshine here and little hints of spring with trees starting to bloom. Miko is happy as long as he has snuggle couch time with hubby. And I am happy this week because I have one of my favorite squashes – an organic kabocha squash from Whole Foods. It […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry Sauce
Rain, rain, and more rain sums up this week! That’s cool, we need it and I can’t complain when it rains all week and we get perfect weather for the weekend. But the poor pups are not happy at all! It’s not easy coaxing them outside with 40+ MPH wind gusts, Miko would rather sit […]
Super Lemony Tahini Dressing
The rain is back and we’re trying to be thankful for it here, but poor Leela has the blues about being stuck inside. Miko keeps his toy close so he’s always ready for an indoor play session. And it is tough to wear him out! Making this simple lemon tahini dressing will not wear you […]
Creamy Cilantro Dressing & Hazelnut Treat
Like me, the pups are tired of politics and have been acting a little rattled all evening. I think even Smokey is a little clingy following hubby and I around. I’m choosing to focus on vibrant salads instead because gorgeous, fresh veggies always makes things better. Especially when coated with a kicky and creamy tahini […]
Savory Pumpkin Dressing
I’m feeling better now that the weekend is closer and things are settling down a bit. We’re back down to two dogs, Dasher went back home this morning. But we played another game of hide-from-the-camera last night. He is very camera shy and gets nervous just seeing the camera in my hand. Except when he’s […]
Simple Tahini Stir Fry
I am thankful for the long weekend ahead after this week. Poor Miko gives me this sad look when I’m wiped after a day of work and training and he wants to play. Such a guilt trip! But he’s been spending a lot of time in the backyard with me where I am scoring lots […]
