Where did the weekend go? Boo. It’s been a good weekend, but busy. I just got back from picking my mom up from the airport and getting her settled at home back with her dog, Dasher, who has been staying with us for the last 9 days. It’s been hectic caring for 3 dogs and […]
More Vegan Burgers & Smoothie Boost
Happy Wednesday, we’re closer to the weekend and trying more vegan burgers for The Great Sacramento Vegan Burger Battle. I can’t wait! And I got three fast-food loving co-workers to try the vegan burger offerings from Zest Kitchen for lunch today with rave reviews. Hopefully they will continue to try more around the area. Tonight […]
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 […]
Simple Weeknight Meals
Friday is almost here and I’m having a glass of wine to celebrate it. No, this post isn’t going Whine About It style, but I would like a wine glass that large. The problem with being really busy at work and maybe a little drained from marathon training is I’m just not feeling getting creative […]
Awesome Burger & Simple Stir Fry
It’s nice to relax a bit after a couple of busy days at work, Miko has been enjoying downtime watching the Olympics in the evening with us. I motivated myself to the gym after work today for a 30-minute tempo run and weight session. It was good, but tiring since the heat was back today and […]
Creamy Chili Dressing
Miko is recovered from all the excitement on the 4th of family fun and fireworks. He took nap time very seriously between play sessions on our day off yesterday. But was not happy with me for leaving him at home this morning when I left for work. I felt the same after four fun days off with family, fun, […]
Weekend List with Summer Fun
I hope everyone that celebrated it had a great 4th of July and no burns or hangovers today. It’s nice to get some rest time today after planning, shopping at Costco, and cleaning for yesterday’s party. We hosted a family party at our house where my nephew was the only kid there, but he had […]
Weekend List with Gardening
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. I’m feeling relaxed this morning with cooler temps and overcast sky outside, perfect conditions for a run shortly. I also caught up on a lot of house work yesterday including a lot of vacuuming which the chihuahuas do not like. It’s been cooler this weekend and cloudy, a […]
Summery Dill Dressing
The dry summer heat is in full swing here, we’re seeing more highs in the triple digits and it’s nice to stay inside enjoying the air conditioning during that time! Luckily the mornings and evenings are cool for runs and yard work, we just try to plan to stay inside during the worst of the […]
Creamy Summery Garlic Dressing
I’m sad the long weekend is over and it was back to the grind today, but we have more fun planned next weekend and a short work week! Memorial Day was very low key here, my mom came over with her super energetic dog, Dasher. All three dogs instantly started competing for her attention, she could not get […]
