I have an interesting relationship with Brussels sprouts, I know they’re amazing nutritional powerhouses. But not easy to enjoy raw even pureed into smoothies and soups with their strong flavor and digestive challenges. Even Sheldon gave up on them on The Big Bang Theory. Cooking helps, but many cooking methods involve lots of oil and/or […]
Simple Baked Sweet Potatoes
Good news, Friday is almost here! And we’re still getting spaghetti squashes from our garden, I pulled two more along with a funky cucumber and eggplant yesterday. We only planted two spaghetti squash plants, but they’ve been producing like crazy unlike my kale or tomato plants this year. It’s been an odd year with the […]
Fall Curried Apple Dressing
When we first got back from our week long cruise vacation, Smokey was not happy with us. She was right at the door as soon as we opened it with suitcases in hand to yell at us for not being home for a week. And it continued most of the next day with her following us […]
Spicy Ginger Peanut Dressing
Good news, Friday is almost here! And it actually got a little cool here and rained this week! Not a lot, this is California, but it was something. And I had to giggle at all the women at work wearing high boots because it actually got down to the 70s. It’s still too hot for […]
Creamy Zucchini Basil Sauce
Did I mention the chihuahuas love simply steamed spaghetti squash? Especially mixed with V-Dog Kibble. Every time I steam one from our garden, I have to share and they really go gaga for it! Thankfully it’s good for dogs too, low calorie, nutrient-dense, wet fiber is good for everyone. And spaghetti squashes are an easy […]
Cinnamon Fall Dressing
We’re still here struggling to stay cool, it was 108 degrees when I left work for the gym today! And even worse tomorrow, yuck! Miko has been a little tired of being stuck inside. And I’m trying to channel fall and cooler temps with this simple and light salad dressing. It’s sweet, has a warming […]
Pumpkin Seed Pesto
I am still working through a lot of spaghetti squash from our garden and must plant more next year since it seems to be a top producer! That’s great for the chihuahuas, they both love simply steamed spaghetti squash added to their dinner bowls. But last night I was drawing a blank on what to do with […]
Simple Tangy Avocado Dressing
Thursdays can be tough during a busy week sometimes feeling like I just need to make it to Friday, especially before a 3 day weekend – woohoo! It’s not tough for Smokey, everyday is a weekend day for her basking in the sunshine or snuggling in her favorite couch blanket all day. The chihuahuas find […]
Super Cheesy Hemp Sauce
Happy Tuesday, hope your week is going good! I’m feeling energized after a good workout at the gym and recovering from Sunday’s 9-mile run. I’d like to be one of those runners who can just run lots of miles all the time, multiple marathons a year and tons of energy. I’m starting small tackling longer runs on […]
Simple Savory Cauliflower Soup
Almost Friday and that’s great, I’m ready! I’ve been flying solo this week with hubby on business travel which sounds a lot more relaxing than it is working all day and maintaining the house and pets in the evening. But I picked up something at Whole Foods last weekend to treat myself with over the […]
