Hello and happy Sunday – I wish everyday could be Sunday sometimes, but I guess having a job and getting stuff done is important. Friday it rained all day and Miko was not interested in leaving his warm blanket to go outside. Can’t blame him! It was windy and chilly for my long run again […]
Pre-Race Week for the List
Hello and happy Sunday! I am feeling wiped after the Shamrock’n half marathon and enjoying sitting a bit before finding energy to walk dogs. The race recap is coming soon after I finish sorting pictures and resting. The week leading up to the half was jam-packed with work stress, but also great eats. Sweet hubby […]
Wrapping up 2016
First I’m kind of addicted to these 2016 memes, can you relate? After trying to avoid the crap storm a negative news and social media. And not successfully doing it, ugh. There were disappointments for everyone this year. I like to see the ups and downs of 2016 as a reminder to focus on the […]
Tahini Ginger Dressing & A Hearty Burger
Leela is happy for now, she claimed her cozy fireplace bed back from Smokey. And Miko has been eagerly waiting for more play time following me around the house. And I’m working with another new NuNaturals product for this salad dressing recipe – NuNaturals NuStevia Simple Syrup. This is a simple syrup, it only has […]
Living It Up
Darn, another weekend disappeared too fast! It was a fun, but busy weekend! And a weekend full of rich eating, whew! It started on Friday when hubby and I went to Baagan for lunch to try this week’s trio plate. It was pretty amazing with scallion sweet potato pancakes, coconut chili brown rice, and orange […]
Weekend Rambling
I’m here and around and it was nice to disconnect a little after a crazy busy week last week. My brain felt like spinning mush when I left work on Friday we’ve got so much going on and things are still a little stressful outside of work with an unhappy cat and crazy wild fire […]
Animal Place Farm Sanctuary Meatout
Whew, what a great day! Unlike this week at work, today was a long day full of fun and happy scenery. Since going vegan, I’ve wanted to visit a farm sanctuary to see farm animals in a happier, more natural environment free of stress and cruelty. So I was thrilled when I saw the free […]
Starting the Weekend Early
I figured that since it’s my birthday this weekend, it should be a long weekend taking today and tomorrow off work just to relax, play, and do anything but think of work. I started my laid back celebration last night with a simple dinner using Trader Joe’s vegan Meatless Meatballs, a total lazy crutch freezer […]
Vegan Quinoa Paella
To me, Miko is still a puppy even though we were told he was about 5 years old when we adopted him. He has the energy and appetite of a puppy, he’s perfectly happy to eat all day and beg for everything I’m eating – even salad and broccoli. After our evening walk, he goes […]
VegFest
Today was an interesting day because I finally made it to VegFest, a local vegan and vegetarian festival in Sacramento. And it was very popular and crowded! Seeing so many people interested vegan and vegetarian food, demonstrations, and products was very inspiring even if a little hard to navigate my way through the crowd. There […]
