This has been a busy week already and it’s only Tuesday. I haven’t been motivated to get creative in the kitchen yet this week with so much and sticking to keeping things simple and healthy. Like this tofu and cabbage saute with onions and broccoli, seasoned with tamari sauce, fresh grated ginger, and minced garlic. […]
Vegan Festival & Women’s Fitness Festival 10k
It has been a busy weekend, in a good way. Maybe not for Leela, she has been a couch potato most of the weekend enjoying her blanket. Even dragging it into the kitchen when she jumped out of bed for dinnertime. I had a simple, post gym dinner Thursday of veggies and tofu sauteed in […]
Summery Lemon Dressing
June is here and wow, still processing that. Leela is not sure she’s ready for walks in triple digit heat. Summer also means loads of watermelon, fresh salads, and cooling smoothies. This summery dressing is bright and cooling with a poppy and tangy lemon flavor. Many lemon dressing recipes use sugar, salt, and oil for […]
What I’ve Been Eating
It dawned on me that the 4th of July is almost here – whoa! I keep thinking summer is further and it’s pretty much here. I took the pups for a long walk yesterday trying out Leela’s new harness and she crashed for hours after. Must have been a great walk! We had a quiet […]
Long Weekend Eats for the List
It’s been a long and lazy weekend here so far and Miko has been perfecting his relaxing skills crashing on the couch with us. Snuggling in his cozy office bed on chilly mornings. And crashing on his favorite blanket during movie time. We’ve been getting some relax time too between projects and checking off the […]
Summer Dijon Dressing
Happy virtual Friday to me because I am taking tomorrow off! Okay, mainly to get adult stuff done before the holiday weekend running errands, having car maintenance done, and taking this sweet girl to the vet. She needs another teeth cleaning and I hope that’s still an option at her age of 13 and for some […]
Tahini Roasted Eggplant
It’s been hot here the last few days and Miko knows how to spend hot days – snuggled in his favorite blanket enjoying the air conditioning! I plan on spending similar time for the long weekend ahead! Eggplant has always been a challenge to prepare for me, frying attempts in the past has resulted in […]
Trail Time for the List
Summer has arrived here this weekend with temps in the 90s and I’m enjoying shorts and sandals. And lots of salads like this monster I got with hubby at Whole Foods Friday. There are falafel tots under there along with tasty marinated beans. And more spicy Thai curry, of course. Saturday we had a girls […]
More Busy Week Eats
Yes on this week almost being over. It seems strange to me that I feel frazzled at times when we don’t have kids. But sometimes just working full time, running a house, taking care of fur kids, and maintaining fitness is a lot too. How sad is that? Work has been very consuming lately without […]
Sweet Curry Dressing
Miko has decided he’s not a fan of alfalfa spouts, he was not eager to clean the floor when I dropped some making a huge salad. So he shared carrots with us instead which I used in this fun and sweet curry dressing. I’ve made curry tahini dressings in the past, but this one is […]
