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 […]
Trying to Keep It Simple
Halloween was pretty low-key here, hubby carved the pumpkin into an adorable minion from Despicable Me. And I dashed to Target after work to grab Halloween candy which probably wasn’t the best idea waiting until the very last minute, the candy aisle was total chaos with bags thrown everywhere and slow-moving carts trying to find […]
WIAW and It’s Electric!
I’m posting What I Ate Wednesday early because tomorrow is Halloween and I’ll probably be eating too much candy. Just kidding. I haven’t even purchased any candy yet for trick-or-treaters, guess what I’ll be doing on the way home from work tomorrow! But I will probably be too busy watching scary movies and handing candy […]
New Purse and Squash Hash
I am rough on purses and shoes, I seem to go through a lot of them with my job and running around like a crazy person sometimes. And finding good vegan-friendly options to replace them isn’t always easy since I don’t like spending a lot of money on something with will probably be taking a […]
Tempeh Stuffed Pepper
Tempeh is my current favorite post-workout dinner. Especially after another intense 3 mile run pushing my pace and incline. I’m usually craving protein and and something hearty after a serious sweat session. But not something hot in our extreme, triple-digit heat this week! Tonight I decided to use tempeh in a quick, semi-raw stuffed pepper […]
Ginger Tempeh Hummus
Okay, this weekend might be going by too fast. Friday, well most of the week, was simply insane at work. Time flew, but the stress levels weren’t fun at all and haven’t been easy to come down from this weekend. I spent most of Saturday running errands and getting the house under control with gardening […]
Back from the Blahs
I didn’t fall off the face of the planet, just disconnected for a bit this week while things got really stressful at work squashing my creativity in the kitchen. I think part of it was post-birthday blahs and being exhausted from keeping up with a busy running training schedule also, all I wanted to do […]
Anything Goes Balsamic Salad
Where did my long 4-day weekend go and how did Monday get here so fast? Wow. Monday started off with a bang … well a few bangs and plenty of bright flashes, mother nature woke me before my alarm at 5 AM with a beautiful thunderstorm, very rare in this area. I just barely caught […]
Tempeh Zucchini Hummus
I’m not sad that this is the last day of June, it was not a good month for me with work craziness and personal stress. I welcome July with open arms. July is summer to me with fireworks, hot temps, the California State Fair, my birthday, hopefully another Raw Health Expo, and other fun things […]
Mint Hemp Seed Chutney
I am so happy the weekend is almost here, this week has been rough at work and home with a house full of chihuahuas watching my mom’s chihuahua while she’s on vacation. Things have not exactly been peaceful here, they squabble over getting our attention, dinner, treats, and beds. Miko has been claiming the new […]
