It’s has been a rollercoaster of a week recovering from the ablation procedure, fearing the procedure was not a success, and dealing with medication adjustments that I will be stuck with for the next 3 months hoping things settle down and I won’t need to go through the procedure again. We’ll see! I have been […]
Week of Resting for the List
It has been a week recovering from a procedure I have been hoping to not need for a long time, but ended up having it. A few years ago I started having challenges sometimes while running, episodes of racing heartbeats and struggling to catch my breath would start shortly after starting a run and end […]
Soup and Fried Tofu for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast after a long week. But there have been some great eats this week including a creamy soy curl and sweet potato turmeric sauté, sesame ginger tofu stir fry using more zucchini from our garden, a huge salad with tempeh, sprouts, sauerkraut, and Trader Joe’s Creamy Vegan Dill Dressing. Oh, […]
Inspired with Peanut Powder for the List
Hints of fall are showing up here and I’m still not sure I’m ready for summer to end. It has been a good summer with mild weather compared to ones in the past. I consider September summer still here, but neighbors are already starting with the Halloween decorations while I’m craving more outdoor fun time. […]
More Summer for the List
I’m not sure I’m ready for summer to be over, a rare thing for me to say. But this has not been a brutally hot summer and I’d like more outdoor adventures. I did get to break out my neglected inflatable paddle board this weekend for a paddle boarding excursion with my sister and had […]
Week of Reflection for the List
This could be an interesting week for me as I reflect on a year ago. This week marked the 1 year anniversary of me leaving my last job after over 15 years due to facing serious burnout. This week will also be the 1 year anniversary of Miko passing which is still so painful to […]
Light Lunch for the List
Well this weekend flew by too fast! Hopefully a good week ahead. I had an, uh, disappointing lunch at work last week for a co-worker’s going away pizza party. Yeah, plain bagged salad was the only vegan option. All the dressings were not vegan and even the croutons had milk in them. Luckily there was […]
Garden Eats for the List
I am still working through a lot of zucchini and summer squash from our garden and need to take more into work tomorrow. Lots of simple zucchini sautés and lots of chickpeas since I batch cooked a bit too much for the week. There was also The Vegan Cobb salad from Pushkin’s for lunch with […]
Vegan Taqueria for the List
Wow, July is almost over, summer might be flying by too fast. But we did have some summer fun last weekend heading out on a boat all day with family on Bullards Bar Reservoir where the water is a gorgeous green and perfect temp for swimming and water sports. We packed sandwiches for the day […]
Birthday Eats for the List
I had my birthday this week and it’s still crazy hot here. But I took a day off to have a 3 day weekend for fun even if that’s enjoying the AC inside and binge watching corny 80s movies. I did get out for a delicious tofu curry dish from a local noodle restaurant and […]
