Happy long Labor Day weekend! It’s been a leisurely day here with a trip to the gym, Whole Foods, and dog walks. But poor Skipper is getting a little tired of the summer heat, he crashed in grassy shady spots a few times during today’s walk. It took some gentle coaxing to get him moving […]
Ginger Hemp Dip
What a week, I am ready for Friday. Lots going on at work, but things are back to normal at home with Miko enjoying plenty of cuddle time with hubby. And being his little gaming buddy. Busy weeks can be a bummer for me since I don’t have as much time as I’d like to […]
Tangy Banana Tahini Dressing
Hey, Friday is almost here! And we’re still chugging along with our house guest this week – my dad’s 15-year-old husky mix. She’s an absolute sweetie, but she can eat! She’s decided she’d rather have our dog’s dinner than her own special food, so I spend dinner time blocking her from the other dog’s bowls […]
Zucchini Dill Hummus
I feel much better now that the weekend is finally here and week-from-hell is over. Doggie balance has been restored in our house since I’m no longer dog-sitting my mom’s chihuahua and hubby is back home from his business trip, so Miko has his gaming buddy back. I’ve been putting my food processor to work […]
Tahini Dill Dressing
Back to reality after another fun weekend and summer is officially here with temps in the 90s and 100s, eek! The pups have been perfectly happy to lounge inside enjoying the air conditioning with hubby. And I’m happy to enjoy cool, hydrating, raw salads in the dry heat, especially when they’re coated in creamy tahini […]
Curry Tahini Quinoa
I meant to post this last night, but work had a different plan. It’s been that kind of week here with lots crammed in. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday because of the long days and was slightly depressed when I realized it was only Wednesday. At least the dogs were happy […]
Creamy Miso Dressing
Hi and, wow, it’s Tuesday already? The last few days have been a blur, poor hubby is still sick with the flu, 4 days now with a fever – poor guy! And work has been stressful with lots going on. I’ve been racing around the house sterilizing everything, washing bed sheets daily, preparing meals for […]
Down Day with Simple Eats
Last night was an exciting night for us, hubby’s band had a pretty big gig opening for another band at a bar. It was their first biggish gig teaming up with another band in a public show and what an experience! It was also a long day for me, I had to dash home right […]
Creamy Red Pepper Dressing
Very true this week and soooooo glad the weekend is almost here followed by a short work week for Thanksgiving – woohoo! I’m not the only one a little cranky this week, Leela was not thrilled about sharing her fireplace bed with Smokey. She looked at the bed and me and pouted for awhile before […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry
When I got home after another long work day, Miko was ready to party following me around the house with his toy ready for throwing! We had an extended game of fetch. And tug-of-war. But he’s still ready for more. And I’m ready for our first mini-blast of winter tomorrow with temps dropping 20 […]
