The last few days have been a strange whirlwind here being very busy at work and struggling for motivation to do anything outside of work with the heat and awful smokey air. There aren’t any serious wild fires near us, we’re getting a lot of smoke from the major fires in Northern California now and […]
What We Ate
Whew, this week seems to be flying by and we’ve been flying through fun new dishes and products the last few weeks. One of my favorite weekend breakfasts lately are cheddar grits, but I’m happy with just about any vegan “cheese” melted into grits. Nature’s Path Quick Cook Organic Grits are so simple to cook […]
Birthday Weekend for the List
Whew, where did this weekend go? We’re still looking into a replacement mattress and have not bought anything yet and will probably resume the search next weekend. This weekend was lots of birthday fun for me and laziness for the pups in the heat. In some ways I still have not wrapped my mind around […]
Eats & Heat for the List
We need a new mattress, ours is over 10 years old and we can feel it’s age. But oh my on the journey of finding one, it’s overwhelming! There are so many options and extreme price differences that I’m more confused then ever trying to make a good choice, not just comfortable, but eco and […]
Non-Dairy Finds & Fun Eats for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast. Maybe not for the pups, they were content to be lazy this weekend. I got out for a run this morning, but it was kind of a crap show with strong winds and allergies flaring up again. At least I got in a few good miles before breaking down […]
Lentils and a New Dressing
It is pouring rain outside again and we’ve got frustrated, lazy pups wanting a walk. But Miko will have nothing to do with wind and rain and poor Leela gets disoriented more easily in windy weather. And she probably prefers sleeping after a busy play date with my mom’s dog. It’s been awhile, too long, […]
Happy Easter for the List
Happy Easter and April Fool’s day! What an odd combo. We’re keeping it low-key with a family gathering at my sister’s house where there will be plenty of wine and food I’m sure. Hubby and I went on a mission yesterday to track down the Tofurky vegan ham at Whole Foods, then Sprouts, and there […]
Creamy Kale Sauce
Getting back to work this week has been tough after a long and relaxing weekend, I’m kind of glad the weekend is near. I finally got the Christmas tree up and decorated and the boxes put back away. I didn’t finish it Sunday because after I finished getting all the lights on, a fuse blew […]
Great Eats and Vegan Chef Challenge for the List
It’s starting to get cold here with temps in the 40s in the morning which is blanket snuggle weather for Miko! And soon it will be fireplace time which is Miko’s only favorite thing about winter. I am loving the signs of fall here, leaves are turning, pumpkins are everywhere, and I need to start […]
Weekend List with Simple Eats
Happy Sunday! Look at the cute little tomato plants in our AeroGarden after a week! They’re sprouting a couple of days ahead of schedule. And watermelon is showing up in grocery stores here at reasonable prices finally which makes Miko and I very happy! I took both pups for a long walk yesterday to visit […]
