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 […]
October and Vegan Chef Challenge for the list
Woohoo, October is finally here and so is the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! And there is a great list this year. We started out by meeting some friends at Pho Fresh last night to try their Vegan Chef Challenge menu and it did not disappoint! We managed to try almost everything on the menu between […]
Chef Challenge Wrap Up for the List
I could use a little more weekend before going back to work, this has been a crazy week month. I have been volunteering for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge doing social media, running the fundraising month for our department at work, and adapting to my new job. It’s been a lot in a good way, […]
Vegan Food Overload for the List
Another week and weekend flew by which has been the way lately with work being busy. It’s also been a week of decadent eating with the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge going on all this month, so much that I’m going to need a food detox when it’s over! Let’s start with healthier eats at home […]
So Many Great Eats
Well this weekend flew by too fast. I am adjusting to my new job and the challenges of being a new manager and working more hours, but loving it and looking forward to the changes I’ll be able to make. This week I will be focusing on very healthy, whole food plant based eating after […]
Changes for the List
Whew, oh happy long weekend! And it’s the last day of August, crazy! As little hints of fall nearing, I am getting excited for turning leaves and pumpkin season. Miko is happy if it means cooler temps for more walks. Things are changing with my job because I got the promotion and am starting in […]
Lots of fun for the List
Here we are at Sunday again, wow! As you have probably figured, I have been struggling a bit the last few weeks with work drama and stress feeling overall burned out on the weekends. The details are long and boring, but I’ve been working out plans to be prepared for however this drama plays out […]
Downtown Getaway
What I love about Northern California is it’s never a far drive to find different scenery and climate. Tired of the heat in the valley? Head to the bay area or up the mountains for a day trip. Wanna see snow? It’s also just a short drive into the mountains. For me, Auburn is a […]
Vibrant Food, Hot Spot
Getting to Midtown’s Cantina Alley in Midtown Sacramento is a bit of an adventure tucked in an alley between J and K streets. But you can’t miss the vibrant entrance and eager line outside. We headed there before 6pm on a Saturday figuring we’d never get in any later and the wait already confirmed we […]
