Another great day to not leave the house since it’s been raining all day. Not complaining and looking forward to some outdoor time when it dries up and maybe a trip to the mountains. For now we’re tacking house projects, relaxing after a busy work week, and enjoying fun eats such as multiple rice dishes […]
Rebooting a Classic
Miko is not happy with me. He took his favorite toy in the backyard and managed to set it down in a puddle of Leela’s pee. So it’s in the wash and he’s pouting, refuses to play with any of the other toys in his full toy box. The weather is nothing to pout about […]
New Cheese and Lighter Ginger Dressing
The dogs are having a rough week here relaxing in front of the fireplace. And I’m still trying to up my running pace with treadmill interval workouts, but that’s been tricky this month. Stress, anxiety, and the winter weather have me just hanging in there with my gym routine currently. But I need to get […]
Fun Eats & New Dressing
It has been a wild few days here with heavy rain and winds. Not complaining, California always needs it! But we have two very unhappy chihuahuas who refuse to go outside. Even our covered porch is a wind tunnel that Miko refuses. Crazy winter weather calls for steaming bowls of chili and hubby is amazing […]
Simple Dressings for a Fresh Start
It has been a busy week here catching up after the holidays I think and a rainy week. I got caught in a gorgeous sunny downpour leaving work and had to snap a pic even though I was getting drenched. The pups have been very frustrated with the weather and not going on evening walks […]
Citrus Ginger Dressing
Happy New Year! Going back to work today was tough, but also nice after a few lazy days to get back into the routine. The pups are still very satisfied with their fireplace routine during the cold mornings and evenings. New Year’s Eve was pretty laid back for us, hubby made a great dinner using […]
Simple Dressing & Running
It’s been an interesting week with ups and downs as the holidays get closer, but I think we’re pretty much ready and I’m looking forward to a little time off after Christmas. It’s been chilly here, so Miko has been making his backyard trips as brief as possible preferring lap cuddle time. I have been […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
Sweet Curry Sauce
This week has been about using stuff up in the freezer and pantry because things were starting to get a little crazy just trying to close the freezer and find stuff in the pantry. I have a stash of Amy’s frozen meals I tend to buy when they’re on sale and enjoyed the Black Bean […]
Air Fried Edamame Wontons
As you’ve probably noticed, I like to keep many of my home eats simple and healthy with simpler blender recipes, salads, and one-pot meals. Since it’s usually just hubby and I and we play dueling chefs in the kitchen a lot cooking our own things, simple makes sense and it makes sense for sticking to […]
