I am still getting used to California being “open” again, it does not feel right to go into a store without a mask after making that a habit for so long. And maybe that’s a good thing for now with the variants out there. We got a little break from the heat last week where […]
Getting into Fall Spirit
It’s really starting to feel like fall here and highs will be in the 70s next week! Miko is ready, we washed his massive stash of soft blankets for every bed in the house. And the weather is perfect for runs and long dog walks. It was another crazy week at work, kind of a […]
Short Weekend for the List
This weekend went by way too fast thanks to loosing an hour to daylight savings. When will this madness end? Miko has been happy to snuggle this weekend since it was rainy and cold. I have been swamped at work, our team is short staffed and I’ve been working harder to make up for that […]
Christmas Ready for the List
Crazy that Christmas is a couple of days away! Ready? I think I am. Shopping is mostly done, food is mostly planned, and I am looking forward to a few days off work. This has been a busy week with work and holiday parties, but eats at home have not been that crazy with a […]
Spicy Adventure for the List
Wow, Saturday already? The busy week flew by as I adjust to new job responsibilities and mapping out goals as a manager. I’ve been making sure to get Miko out for morning walks before work since it could be too cold and wet for those soon and the weather seems to be moving towards fall […]
Celebrating Summer for the List
Summer has arrived here this weekend with temps in the 80s and 90s and Miko has been a happy camper with long walks and snuggle, lazy time after. For Memorial Day, we stopped at Zest Kitchen for lunch were it was packed! Love seeing such a demand for healthy vegan cuisine. I got the loaded […]
Cuisine Inspired by Buddhism
Pho VEGAN-Asian Cuisine is one of my favorite places to drop in for lunch, it’s my relaxing and peaceful break from a busy day at work. And I finally got to chat with the sweet and passionate power couple who brought this welcoming sanctuary to the greater Sacramento area, Julie (Thuy) Nguyen and Don Vuong. […]
New Vegan Restaurant & Running
I am getting excited for the holidays and next week should be fun, if a little stressful, with last minute prep and our office party. I am being daring this year planning to take a raw vegan dessert to the dessert contest. I’m a realist on it’s chances of winning, but it could be a […]
Stevia and Better Eats for the List
I have been a bad blogger this week, I failed to write a veggie burger post for national veggie burger day and didn’t even have a veggie burger! And I didn’t run or write about running on national running day! I know. My excuse is I’ve just been busy with work and I think veggie […]
Great Eats and Tough Week for the List
Whew, the pups have the right idea this week. They’ve been extra cuddly and sweet. And I am gonna get in some more couch time myself shortly! I did the SacTown 10-mile race this morning as part of our 100-miles of races challenge this year and I am wiped! That race story will be coming […]
