Another weekend went by way too fast, mentally prepping myself for another work week is more challenging than usual after a crazy week. But I’m trying to be optimistic, this week could be much better – right? I caught up on about 6 loads of laundry today getting ready for the week, including washing the […]
Quick Tempeh Burgers
Is it Friday yet? Someone please say yes! Things just have not been slowing down at work, I spent most of the morning putting out fires and feeling torn in 14 directions at once. Weeks like this are tough because I come home feeling mentally drained and not too creative for dinner. Not a problem […]
Tempeh Alfredo Sauce
Monday nights are rarely exciting at the dinner table here, something about the long work week ahead and a busy day at work just does not compel me to get creative in the kitchen. But not today, I came up with a crazy tempeh idea in between addressing the weekend’s worth of work emails. After […]
Super Power Salad
It’s sad to see the weekend go, especially since we had hot and sunny weather that just screams time to go out and play to me. I’m ready for road trips, fairs, swimming in lakes, hiking, and just enjoying the outdoors. Sigh. Until next weekend. But today was a fun and productive day helping my […]
Simple Stir Fry
At my niece’s birthday party a couple of weekendss ago, I got chatting with a family friend about eating healthier and she expressed frustration that time and planning for dinner is an issue while working full time with a young child, she and her husband are too fried after working all day to put together […]
Green Protein Socca
While our little Napa getaway was fun, it’s nice to get back home and relax with two annoyed dogs that we left them for a few days. And we had a lot of make up play time with Miko which he reminded us of constantly shoving his toy in our faces. And turning to my […]
Tempeh Spaghetti & Eating Cheap
Today was my final long run of my half marathon training, the race is next week! I figured a little carb heavy dinner was in order last night to prepare and indulged in something I never make at home – spaghetti. I also wanted it to be high protein and decided to experiment with a […]
Crispy Tempeh
I am counting down the days until things start slowing down at work thanks to new help being hired and half marathon training being over for a bit and that’s in less than two weeks, woohoo! Oh, to not feel mentally drained after workdays again, I can’t wait! And more time to play in the […]
Chia Smoothie & Tahini Stir Fry
I’m feeling much more relaxed now after a crazy week at work, too bad the weekend is almost over. I’m also feeling a little lazy today after a hard 10-mile run yesterday as part of my half marathon training, the weather was nice – but windy and very muddy after 4 days of down pouring […]
Cheesy Tempeh Broccoli
It’s another rainy week here which is great for our garden, not so good for coaxing Miko to do his business in the backyard. He dashes out to the grass and back to the door lightening fast and usually after I carry his little rear outside. I can’t blame him, the wind and rain isn’t […]
