Things are going better with Skipper, he’s actually gained nearly 2 lbs. which could be a result of the insulin shots for his canine diabetes. And his appetite isn’t so crazy, but he still loves treats. And making a mess all over our floors with them. The weather has been crazy here the last few […]
Creamy Tomato Soup
Hooray, Friday is almost here. And we’re still hanging in there with Skipper, it’s been almost two weeks with him now but feels longer since so much has happened. I’m adjusting to giving him insulin shots twice a day and updating my morning routine to include that before work. It’s still a nerve racking process […]
Simple Saturday
Happy Saturday, finally. We’re still dogsitting my dad’s dog. Leela is still not happy about it. And Miko is having a blast with his new stuffed pig toy. We picked it up for him yesterday since he ripped into his last toy and he eagerly watched me cut the tags off of it. Then he […]
Red Pepper Stir Fry Sauce
Very happy the weekend is here and we’re not getting short-changed an hour for this one! After a draining week, I have a long list of things I want to catch up on today from finally doing my hair roots, garden work, laundry, and updating music play lists. I did finally make it to Costco […]
Colorful Avocado Salad
Hooray for tomorrow being Friday! It’s another freezing week here and I just had a brisk 3.3 mile run in 30 degree weather, great motivation to run faster! But I actually don’t mind running in cold weather, it’s invigorating and no muscle pain after. A good friend gave Miko a cute, cuddly stuffed dog for […]
Tomato Weekend
It’s been such a productive and fun weekend that I’m sad it’s over. The chilly temps in the 30s actually made perfect weather for fast runs Saturday and Sunday mornings. And hubby and I stepped out to see Skyfall and it was awesome! I’ve never been a huge James Bond fan because, while slick and […]
Saturday List
So happy the weekend is here and I’ve been trying to decompress from the hectic work week while still having a fun and productive Saturday that included: 1. Deciding to work out in our home gym this morning instead of running since my legs were a little sore. 2. Having a simple massaged kale salad […]
Fast Curry Seitan Meal
Today we had our first real storm of the season, happy Monday to us! It’s strange that it goes for months here over the summer without a drop, actually it’s nice not worrying about rain. But in the winter we can get days, even weeks, of non stop rain to make up for the dry […]
Simple Tomato Salad
So glad the weekend is finally here, I’ve been in a funk the last two days with a cold and craziness at work. And I’m still trying to get rid of the last bits of this cold and be ready to run a 10k race tomorrow morning – ugh! Poor Miko has been looking a […]
Simple Fried Green Tomatoes
In junior high, I was just a little obsessed with the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, I think we even had it on VHS. Something about the empowering transformation of Kathy Bates’ character and watching her ram a Beetle with her Ford Land Yacht – those girls deserved it! But I’ve never tried fried green tomatoes, […]
