Leela is getting revenge. She’s put up with Miko stealing parts of her dinners and breakfasts for years because she’ll only eat part and come back for more later … if there’s anything left. Not anymore! She’s been going after what’s left in Miko’s bowl this week and seems to have more of an appetite. Can’t […]
This Turmeric Dressing Makes You Feel Alive
This week started off strong, I was feeling good about starting my mornings earlier for more productivity before work and getting to the gym after a focused vinyasa yoga class on Sunday. Then things started getting crazy at work with lots of projects, urgent problems, and overtime. The IT world can just be fun and spontaneous like […]
Sweet and Spicy Tahini Brings a Salad to Life
I’ve officially completed my second hot vinyasa yoga class at Zuda Yoga thanks to ClassPass and I’m starting to really like it and get the hang of it, I’m tempted to work up to an advance level if I can fit the classes in with my current gym/work schedule. There is something very therapeutic and relaxing […]
Weekend List with More Kicky Avocado
Weekend mornings are great for sipping coffee and enjoying a little quiet time in the office with this guy catching up on news and stuff from the week. After 5 days of rushing to get out of the house in the morning, slow mornings is one of the things I look forward to most about […]
When Avocado with Kick is Fabulous
We finally got a little bit of rain here this week. No where near enough to make a dent in the scary drought conditions, but enough to make the dogs protest going outside to do their business. Miko is so funny when he thinks it’s too cold and wet outside, he curls his tail and butt in, […]
This Nut-free Cake Pleases Everyone
I’m still recovering from the fun-loaded weekend after being on call for work, celebrating, running errands, and our Easter celebration. I need a weekend from the weekend! But it all went good and we had a huge and active Easter celebration at my sister’s house with family, friends, and way too much food. Thanks to […]
Weekend List
Happy Easter. It’s also a big weekend here since it’s hubby’s birthday, lots of fun and eating with a family party later. I created a huge, nut-free raw vegan chocolate mousse cake recipe for the event and will be posting the recipe soon if it’s a hit. I successfully maxed out our 14-cup food processor […]
Why Smoothies Are the Best Fast Food
When it comes to smoothies, there are many different directions you can go from a light serving alternative to fruits and veggies to a full on hearty meal replacement. I’m more of a meal replacement girl, smoothies are my go to for fast, healthy, energizing, and nutritious meals on the go and my favorite for […]
Hot Pink Fun Salad
We’re getting through the week here and Miko has been restless looking for more play time. Me too, buddy, me too! Leela is doing a little better with her allergies/sinus infection, not as much sneezing and sniffling and her appetite and bladder have settled down now that she’s off medication. And they’ve both been looking […]
How Banana Makes A Salad Decadent
Hooray for the weekend almost being here. Leela and Miko agree, they’d like more walks and play time. And more carrots, they both come running into the kitchen now when I’m chopping carrots for a salad. Keeping a little container of chopped carrot “coins” in the fridge have been great, healthy, and inexpensive treats for […]
