July flew by too fast and I’m a little bummed it’s over, summer is going too quickly. But this summer themed recipe is not a bummer with a lighter, kicky peanut sauce and Explore Cuisine Organic Red Lentil Penne Pasta. With chopped broccoli, of course. I always must share when chopping broccoli, it’s Miko’s favorite. […]
Better Ginger Sesame Stir Fry Sauce
Awhile back, I found Vsoy Meatless Vegan Soy Beef Slices on Amazon for hubby to try as a quick beef alternative. The bag contains about 9 servings of dried soy “beef” you can store in your pantry. And simply hydrate in water for a few hours in your fridge before cooking. The soy slices really […]
Kicky Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes
We’ve gone from winter to summer with a high in the 90s today and the pups are in full lazy summer mode already. The heat did not stop me from roasting sweet potatoes in the oven, especially when the recipe is kicky and sweet without oil. Kicky Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes 2 large sweet potatoes […]
Coconut Yogurt Dressing
Finally we’re getting a break from the rain! I am thankful for the rain, we needed it, but also thankful to get a few days of sunshine and the pups are thankful for more walks outside. Well, Leela wasn’t so thankful when Miko stole her favorite ratty bed by the fireplace. And Miko pouted because […]
New Running Shoes and Tacos for the List
I am loving this long weekend! It’s cooler out, the weather was great for my long run this morning and I think I will be taking the dogs for a long walk here in the few. It has been a tough week for training. I had the house to myself this week with hubby on business […]
Miko’s Vet Visit & Rice Dishes
Sunday afternoon, Miko was not a happy camper. He burrowed into his blanket and was not feeling very social. By Sunday night, he was very antsy and restless and could not sit still while we were watching TV. He kept climbing all over us, went to back and forth to the other couch and just […]
Healthy Hacks
I am a bit out of it today, I had a long dental appointment yesterday I’ve been putting off for awhile to finally get old work re-done and having an achy mouth and not being able to enjoy certain foods since has made me a little cranky. But that’s temporary and I’m thankful to finally get […]
Simple & Fun Protein Spaghetti
I had a case of the Mondays yesterday and this week so far after work stress and a Griswold Christmas tree story that I can laugh about now, but wasn’t when I was lugging a huge boxed Christmas tree out of my car and into a home improvement store last night. I’m a fan of real Christmas trees, […]
Salads Can Be Gooey and Cheesy
Miko is a little bored with me this week. I’m still feeling washed out with this cold, but it’s almost gone! Thank goodness, I’m ready after 5 days of it! Colds can cause some interesting food cravings for me, anything salty, fatty, and/or sweet which are bad options for energy crashes and feeling even more […]
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 […]
