We are getting lots of wind and rain over the next few days and not complaining! Miko has been very happy to snooze in warm blankets and on warm laps instead of facing the strong wind outside. When not sleeping, he’s ready on his dining “podium” to share meals with me and really into the […]
Cruising into December for the List
Crazy that it’s December already and it feels like December weather this weekend being overcast, foggy, and cold. Miko is loving the excuse to snuggle in warm comforters fresh from the dryer, take in the fireplace and embrace his many warm blankets. But he does take breaks from his warm blankets to share meals with […]
Celebrations for the List
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We had two, a small one with my parents on Thanksgiving, then a large one with all the family on Saturday. Both great and it’s been an interesting week here. Late after work on Wednesday, I got a call from my mom that she had taken in a […]
Ready for Holiday Fun for the List
Whoa, Thanksgiving really is next week. Still trying to wrap my mind around that and looking forward to down time with family and friends. It looks very fall and festive here with overcast skies, turning leaves, and chilly temps. Miko has been refusing his early morning walks because it’s been too cold and misty outside. […]
Cauli Crumble Holiday Mac
These are interesting times which seems like an understatement. When I first started this blog, I was on a passionate mission to adopt a healthy, high raw plant based lifestyle and enjoyed spending lots of time in the kitchen experimenting with recipes and new kitchen toys. That has waned over the years and especially now […]
Manic November for the List
November has always been an interesting month to me, a conflicted month. It should be a great month, the holidays and fun times with friends and family are here and that is great. But there’s also a consistent, underlying anxiety. The stress of getting ready for the holidays and pressure to make them great. With […]
Fall Fun Times for the List
Happy Halloween! Have any fun plans? We’re handing out candy, recipe experimenting, and drinking wine – not a bad way to spend it. Fall is in full swing here and it’s gorgeous with rain, turning leaves, and greenery returning after last weekend’s massive rain storm. A few weeks ago I snapped a pic of an […]
Working the Vegan Chef Challenge for the List
What a week it has been, I was glad to get to the weekend and now sad it’s over. I think Miko is too, he’s been enjoying lazy mornings and movie cuddle time. Last Sunday we headed out for a hike to get in fresh air in the cooler weather and it was wonderful, so […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge for the List
Fall is finally here and it is wonderful with highs in the 70s this weekend. It has not been a wonderful week for Miko who started coughing pretty bad on Monday and went to the vet. I was terrified it was his heart condition escalating even though his breathing rate was okay, but it appears […]
Simple and Fun Eats for the List
I am sad this weekend is over already looking at another busy work week, but it’s been a great weekend of cooler temps and reminder that fall is near. Miko has been such a sweet little buddy and doing okay, he still seems to be coughing more, but breathing rate seems to be okay. I […]
