It’s been raining pretty good here for the last few days and that’s great, we need it! But Miko is not interested in the rain at all, he’d rather snuggle in his pile of blankets. I can’t blame him, I’m tempted to do the same instead of leaving the house for work on cold, dark, […]
Back Home
Sigh, back to the grind tomorrow after such a fun Thanksgiving week and more unpacking and laundry today. We were is Oxnard for Thanksgiving visiting my dad, it’s a lovely area on the beach in Southern California. The high was 80 degrees and our hotel had a pool and hot tub we lounged at for […]
Citrus Tahini Dressing
It has been chilly, overcast, and rainy this weekend. So the dogs have either been in my lap or in front of the fireplace. Rough life, huh? One great thing about winter here is our little tangerine tree explodes with tangerines. And they’re all starting to get ripe, woohoo! I used one in this simple […]
Tahini Beet Dressing
It’s actually getting chilly here with temps in the 30s and Smokey is not complaining since she gets to watch a lot of her favorite show. Miko is though, he’s not a fan of cold or rain and gets a little pouty when he can’t have warm lap time. We got a bunch of golden […]
Spiced Butternut Soup & Winners
It’s been an odd week at work, I think I might be ready for Friday already. At least we’re over halfway there. And I had this cute little guy waiting for me to get home. He was so ready to play he brought me two toys to choose from! Such a sweet little face. For […]
Sage Carrot Dressing
Remember 3rd Rock from the Sun? A show from the 90s about aliens sent to Earth and how they observed humans. It was one of my favorite shows, hilarious with classic Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And the start to the Thanksgiving episode was precious when they went grocery shopping before Thanksgiving and thought it was the Apocalypse. […]
Curried Tahini Butternut Sauce
It’s kind of strange driving to work in the dark again now that sunrise is later, feels a little cold and lonely. But I’m loving the cooler weather here and the beautiful sunsets at dinner time. We can tell when cooler weather officially starts kicking in because Miko would rather park it on warm laps […]
Pepper Protein Dressing
Happy Saturday! It’s been a great weekend here so far starting with hubby and I hanging out with some fun work friends last night trying new beers at The Yard House and venting about work stress. This morning I ventured out on my final half marathon training run of 10 miles and have been feeling […]
Creamy Protein Dill Dressing
This work week felt like it would never end, but thankfully it did and the weekend is here. And rain is in the forecast pretty much all day, our first major rain storm in months here. It’s a great excuse to stay home and catch up on house projects like the mountain of laundry, vacuuming […]
Carrot Mustard Dressing
I’m not a fun person to be around when I’m running on a lack of sleep. I got woken up twice in the middle of the night when Skipper heard something in the backyard and decided to tell us all about it in barking fits. Then I got blasted out of bed 30 minutes before […]
