I am sad to see this lovely, long holiday weekend end after many relaxing days and great food. And gorgeous weather for outdoor runs. Cool, beautiful fall colors, and not a cloud in sight. I know we need rain, but I can enjoy this too. Ron got out to Panda Express to try the Beyond […]
Comfort Eats for the List
Still coming to terms with Thanksgiving being less than a week away. We’ll be having a casual, local family gathering that I am looking forward to. But it was a busy week at work with some OT and lack of sleep, so I have been treating myself to eating lunch out perhaps a bit too […]
Long Weekend Relax
We’re wrapping up a long holiday weekend here and I’m thankful to get Veteran’s Day as a holiday now, it was a much needed relax to tackle home projects and recover from an annoying cold. Also enjoyed great eats. If you’re near a Whole Foods, I highly recommend stopping in for this Limited Edition Vegan […]
Gooey “Cheese” Burger for the List
Wow, November and I’ve already started holiday shopping. Crazy! Halloween was a bit of a bust with only a few trick-or-treaters compared to last year. Strange and I am trying to get rid of extra candy! It’s been an interesting week of eats with a garlicy sweet potato tofu sauté and a lunch date with […]
New Finds for the List
What a week and weekend here, a little bummed to be back at Sunday evening already. But it’s been a fun few days and I got new kitchen toys to try. Laura Prepon (yes, Donna from That ’70s Show) has a new line of kitchen tools, PrepOn Kitchen. Check out this fun 4-peice Silicone Tool […]

Also with the Autumn Harvest Bowl and […]
More Fun VCC Eats
Here we are at Sunday again, this week flew by with the finale being our air conditioning deciding to fail last night. Luckily it’s not too hot, but still warm enough in the afternoon to need it which is crazy in October. Not looking forward to a possibly pricey repair, oh well. We did get […]
Fall and Fun for the List
Hello October! I am ready for turning leaves, pumpkins, and cooling temps. And diving into the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! It’s been a busy week here still settling into a new job. Since I travel to multiple sites throughout the day, packing lunches have been a challenge which I’m working on getting more organized for […]
Fun Finds for the List
This week flew by and it’s almost October, Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge month! And a good month to consider going back to the gym, haha. I got up very early Saturday to be at a nearby ranch at 6am to volunteer for an endurance race a friend was hosting. Basically race participants could choose to […]
Hints of Fall for the List
It is starting to feel like fall this weekend, we got wind, rain, cool temps, and no wildfire smoke. So exiting we picked up pumpkins at Trader Joe’s and opened the windows for that wonderful fresh rain smell. Still eating like a queen for work lunches at Zest Kitchen and Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine as […]
