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 […]
Running with Chickens for the List
Leela is finally getting the hang of her cuddle bed! Well, most of the time. But that’s progress! And I am feeling sleepy looking at that pic after a long day, but need to finish catching up on laundry for the week first. Allergies are better after I broke down and started using Flonase. I […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 3
Time to wrap up our LA adventure. Saturday was another long, but awesome day. After hitting the hotel gym and breakfast bar for loaded vegan oatmeal bowls, we headed out to the La Brea Tar Pits. I honestly did not know much about the tar pits beyond what I’ve seen in movies like Volcano, so […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 2
Day 2 of our Los Angeles adventure started early at the Griffith Observatory, an iconic spot in LA I’ve seen in plenty of movies but have never actually been to. If you’re not actually going into the observatory, just taking in the views and hikes – before noon on a weekday is perfect since the […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 1 for the List
We’re sitting at the airport waiting for our flight home after a fun and packed few days in Los Angeles. This may sound strange as a Californian, but it’s been years since I’ve vacationed in this area and after this trip we will be back soon. And goodness, I have so much to cover after […]
Slowing Down for the List
Happy Easter! We’re getting ready to head to a family party – always looking forward to great company, good food and wine. Miko and Leela are not happy with me because the weather is wet and rainy again today and I need to figure out how to get them out for a walk soon. I […]
Still Under The Weather
I am so glad this week is almost over because I am still sick with this cold thing. It’s almost over – I hope, still stuffy with head and ear pressure and rain over the next few days probably won’t help. But steaming bowls of Imagine Foods Organic Red Bliss Potato Soup has been helping. […]
2017 SacTown 10-Mile Race
I am still dealing with this cold thing and frustrated about that! Head pressure, sore throats, run off, runny nose, and other unpleasant symptoms for the last week or so. It’ll pass, I know, and it’s not the end of the world. But it sure makes trying to function at work crappy. And made for […]
Great Eats and Tough Week for the List
Whew, the pups have the right idea this week. They’ve been extra cuddly and sweet. And I am gonna get in some more couch time myself shortly! I did the SacTown 10-mile race this morning as part of our 100-miles of races challenge this year and I am wiped! That race story will be coming […]
Plant Based Journey with Lani Muelrath
Whew, where did today go? It was busy, and not enough time to get to accomplish what I wanted. Sunday I met a lot of other vegan friends at Zest Kitchen (formerly Baagan) for an inspiring talk and book signing by Lani Muelrath. I grabbed my favorite chana chickpea wrap for lunch with a kombucha […]
