The rain is back this week which is a good thing, except when unhappy chihuahuas refuse to go outside. Oh the angry stares I got this morning through the patio screen. I get it, the weather was crazy today – heavy rain, strong winds, and even thunder and lightening which catches us by surprise here […]
Avocado Miso Dressing
Thank you for the kind words on the Shamrock’n half marathon, it’s been a tough training season which makes me look forward to better running weather ahead with a more aggressive training schedule. It’s been spotty this week while still recovering and keeping busy with work. But nice to rest a little. Sweet Miko continues […]
Avocado House Dressing
It looks like it will be perfect weather for the Shamrock’n half marathon this weekend, can’t complain about highs in the 70s and slightly overcast. Let’s just hope my performance can hang in there too because my legs are feeling tired after my final speed training session at the gym. The pups will be ready for […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
Creamy Dijon Roasting Sauce
Ah, thank goodness the weekend is almost here! There is more rain in our weekend forecast, but I’m not gonna let that bug me for Sunday’s training run. At least that’s the plan, we’ll see. :-) Sweet Leela has been very clingy and hungry lately and even tolerates more hugs. I worry about her because […]
Dilly Hummus Dressing
It’s interesting that Miko’s diet has adapted so much to ours. As soon as he hears me chopping carrots or broccoli in the kitchen, he comes racing into the kitchen because he knows I’ll share. He gets so excited, you’d think I’m tearing open a bag of phony bacon or some other awful processed dog treats. […]
Tahini Curry Sauce
The rain is finally gone, we got sunshine here and little hints of spring with trees starting to bloom. Miko is happy as long as he has snuggle couch time with hubby. And I am happy this week because I have one of my favorite squashes – an organic kabocha squash from Whole Foods. It […]
Ginger Tahini Stir Fry Sauce
Rain, rain, and more rain sums up this week! That’s cool, we need it and I can’t complain when it rains all week and we get perfect weather for the weekend. But the poor pups are not happy at all! It’s not easy coaxing them outside with 40+ MPH wind gusts, Miko would rather sit […]
Lemony Fresh Dill Dressing
Happy Tuesday! Yeah, Friday would be better. I am feeling much better after Sunday’s 10k and had decent run at the gym today. I also got to chat with the young co-worker who smoked my time to congratulate her. Sadly she didn’t seem too impressed with her pace and was upset at the amount of […]
Super Lemony Tahini Dressing
The rain is back and we’re trying to be thankful for it here, but poor Leela has the blues about being stuck inside. Miko keeps his toy close so he’s always ready for an indoor play session. And it is tough to wear him out! Making this simple lemon tahini dressing will not wear you […]
