It’s been a great weekend here so far, boo on it almost being over. We wiped poor Leela out with a couple of long walks. She loves walks and begs for them, but crashes in bed after – getting older is tough! It’s been a great week of eats. When we got home last Sunday […]
Disconnected Camping Vacation
Happy 4th of July! I’m back after 5 nights of camping in the Humboldt Redwoods with family. I had every intention of blogging from our campsite and even had posts ready to go, but no cell reception through most of the trip even though the coverage map showed there was coverage – it lied! Disconnecting to enjoy […]
Catching Up for the Weekend List
Hard to believe the 4th of July is almost here and summer weather is in full swing with lots of triple digit heat days. I always have to remind myself it’s okay to throttle back running miles in this weather and embrace my slower pace when I am running outside because even early morning runs […]
New Host & Simply Fun Eats
I’m back after the roller coaster that was moving this site to a new host. Still working out little issues here and there, but so far so good and I am beyond impressed with the WordPress support of my new host, DreamHost. I decided to take on the move myself after reading countless articles and how […]
Weekend List w/ New Tofu & Protein
It’s been a relaxing weekend so far here, lots of lounging around and Leela burying herself in blankets. And great eats this week. I have been focusing on adding more beans to my diet lately and mainly in salads and soups thanks to inspiration from Dr. Greger. And canned organic beans are cheaper than tofu, […]
Weekend List & Getting Summer Ready
Happy Memorial Day weekend, hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far! It hasn’t been too productive here, I spent yesterday running necessary not fun errands like a service appointment for my car, but going to Grocery Outlet after the gym was fun and we scored on more cheap ripe bananas and snack foods. And soaked […]
New Shoes & First Seitan Attempt
After probably spending too much time researching shoes, I decided to try the Brooks Ravenna 7 as my next running shoes. I did a lot of reading, but went with these after the Brooks Shoe Finder recommended them. They are a little obnoxiously bright, but it was either these or boring grey. I broke them […]
Feasting for the Weekend List
So far it’s been a productive and pricey weekend after a fun shopping spree with my sister and some intense de-cluttering. I got inspired to tackle a closet in our house after listening to this Life-Changing Habit podcast episode from No Meat Athlete. We still have a ways to go sorting with evaluating the sentimental value […]
Black Bean Pasta for the Weekend List
Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers out there! Hope it’s a wonderful day. We’re planning a casual family gathering to celebrate today which I’m looking forward to. It’s been a great weekend so far, hubby and I saw Captain America Civil War yesterday and it was good … well, duh. And by some awesome lucky […]
Earth Day Festival
Sunday morning I got up early, went for a run, then headed out to the Sacramento Earth Day festival to do a volunteer shift displaying my electric car and answering many questions on owning and driving EVs. Miko was perfectly happy to sleep in. I invited another EV driving friend from the local vegan groups to […]
