We’re getting through the week here and Miko has been restless looking for more play time. Me too, buddy, me too! Leela is doing a little better with her allergies/sinus infection, not as much sneezing and sniffling and her appetite and bladder have settled down now that she’s off medication. And they’ve both been looking […]
Why Broccoli Makes Better Hummus
Poor Leela is still having a rough time with allergies and was back to the vet today. Over the weekend, she turned into a little hunger monster that had to pee a lot! Not like her at all and I got paranoid about possible bladder infection, diabetes, etc. Nope, it was just the prednisone she […]
Weekend List
It’s been a quiet weekend here which is great after a busy week. I’ve been breaking in my new Brooks Glycerin 12s at the gym and for running, so far so good! I like that I didn’t have to go up in sizing in them for running like I did with the Nike Lunarglides, Brooks […]
Another Awesome Ginger Dressing
Friday is almost here and Miko is ready, he thinks we’ve been working too much and not playing with him enough. I agree! Time to start thinking about using vacation time! He did enjoy the little bits of carrot I fed him while making this dressing because can you ever really get tired of tahini […]
Sweet & Spicy Tahini Dressing
Miko has recovered from our dog-sitting weekend and is happy to have hubby’s lap all to himself again. And Smokey is happy to have her favorite red blanket back and not have to hide in our closet. I’m happy to be stocked with a lot of tahini in the pantry, I could eat it […]
Miso Ginger Stir Fry Sauce
Yesterday we dog-sitted my mom’s active 1-year-old chihuahua mix, Dasher, for the first time and he wasn’t sure about us for the first hour. He sat by the front door whimpering for mommy. After a couple of handfuls of V-dog, he decided we were okay and helped himself to Miko’s toy box which Miko wasn’t […]
Cheesy Broccoli Dressing
TGIF! Especially for me since I’m taking today off for a 4 day weekend and having a relaxing morning at home drinking coffee and enjoying the foggy, drizzly weather. I actually like this weather, it’s peaceful, pretty, and a great excuse to park it in front of the fireplace like Miko. Or in front of […]
Tahini Ginger Dressing & A Hearty Burger
Leela is happy for now, she claimed her cozy fireplace bed back from Smokey. And Miko has been eagerly waiting for more play time following me around the house. And I’m working with another new NuNaturals product for this salad dressing recipe – NuNaturals NuStevia Simple Syrup. This is a simple syrup, it only has […]
Butternut Tahini Dressing
Today was one of those get-me-a-glass-of-wine-now days at work. I’ll spare you the details, but tackling big projects and growing pains is not fun mixed with the holidays and stressed out co-workers. But I think Leela is a little more stressed than me today. She’s been getting a little cranky when Miko or Smokey gets […]
Healthy Donuts & Orange Tahini Dressing
I’m almost ready for Christmas, most of the shopping is done, packages shipped, decorations up, etc. Time to relax and enjoy the festivities! Miko agrees, he has a new reindeer squeaky toy thanks to my mom and is happy to enjoy the decorated fireplace. I enjoyed another vegan meetup this weekend at a new vegan […]
