Hello August, that means cooling fall temps and turning leaves are getting closer! And fireplace cuddly time which Miko is all about. But since temps are still hot, I’m still celebrating summer with vibrant salads and fun blender salad dressings. Trust me, you’ll want to make this one. It’s tangy, creamy, slightly sweet, and has […]
Creamy Garlic Comfort
I think these two are as ready for the long weekend as I am! The weather is supposed to be warm and perfect for sandals, long walks, hikes, and play time! And hopefully play time in the kitchen. For now I have another simple dressing recipe I created for a comforting and hearty kale salad […]
Creamy Ginger Garlic Dressing
When I went vegan … wow, over 6 years ago now, I thought seafood was going to be the toughest to give up. But jeez, watch some of these disturbing seafood videos on NutritionFacts.org and it’s not so hard! Especially when vegan alternatives keep getting more amazing. Hubby was a crab cake fan before going […]
Golden Beet Tahini Dressing
I caved and gave Leela a blanket back for her bed and it’s not working out too well. Every time she leaves the bed, she drags her blanket away and sometimes to the other side of the house. Then pouts at me until I put it back on her bed so she can burrow into […]
Creamy Broccoli-Based Dressing
Miko is such a sweetie, he’s always ready for play time and/or cuddle time when I get home from work and follows me around the house. It’s hard not to feel guilty for being tired after a busy day, how do working parents do it? Smokey is happy to just hang around with us even […]
Super Tangy and Probiotic Salad
Miko is recovering from his vet visit last week to have two teeth removed and he’s almost done with his medication which we’ll both appreciate not having to deal with pills twice a day! Leela is happy to tunnel herself into blankets this week, she’s been feeling anti social. I don’t blame her after having […]
Cauliflower Can Be Creamy and Delicious
It’s feeling like summer already here with lots of sunshine and making it difficult to face spending a day in the office. I’ll probably be singing a different tune when we hit triple digit heat, but for now we’re enjoying more time playing in the backyard. Miko loves racing around for his toy. Not Smokey, […]
Weekend List with Dr. Pam Popper
So far it’s been a great and informative weekend here after a crazy week, hubby and I started it with a wonderful dinner at a local Thai restaurant with Blue Moon beer and spicy curry tofu which I will never get tired of. Yesterday we headed to the gym in the morning for a longer […]
This Turmeric Dressing Makes You Feel Alive
This week started off strong, I was feeling good about starting my mornings earlier for more productivity before work and getting to the gym after a focused vinyasa yoga class on Sunday. Then things started getting crazy at work with lots of projects, urgent problems, and overtime. The IT world can just be fun and spontaneous like […]
Sweet and Spicy Tahini Brings a Salad to Life
I’ve officially completed my second hot vinyasa yoga class at Zuda Yoga thanks to ClassPass and I’m starting to really like it and get the hang of it, I’m tempted to work up to an advance level if I can fit the classes in with my current gym/work schedule. There is something very therapeutic and relaxing […]
