Happy Memorial Day weekend! I am pretty excited about having another day off. The weather has been strange all week with storms, hail, rain, and chilly temps. So lots of gym runs and frustrated chihuahuas. Miko has just been a sweet heart, very cuddly with hubby and I and happy to claim the warm sheets […]
Creatively Healthy
Getting into a healthy, plant-based life style can be daunting with so many decadent plant-based dining out options and processed products coming daily. I’m not complaining! But it can be tough to stick to a whole food plant based diet with so many new options. Shortly after I went vegan in 2010, an amazing plant-based […]
Cherry Dijon Dressing
We’re still kind of waiting for spring here with more rain and storms this week, the pups seem especially frustrated with rain interrupting evening walks. Poor Miko rushes out to the back yard excited for fresh air, comes to a halt and looks back at me and pouts about the rain. But I am not […]
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 […]
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 […]
Brazil Nut Dressing & Gift Guide
Whew, it’s been another crazy week here and it feels like time is flying and Christmas will be here like tomorrow! The pups aren’t stressing, they’re enjoying the fireplace fully relaxed. Miko leaves his toy in front of the fire a lot to warm it up. This time of year can bring on a lot […]
Another Summery Dill Dressing
It’s hot this week with most days over 100 degrees and we’re feeling it. Even though we’re trying to stay in the AC during the hottest times of the day, I just feel more tired and drag more (and sweat more) at the gym. Leela has been sleeping more inside. The heat does strange things […]
Make This Dressing
Miko was not happy with me on this dressing recipe, he didn’t understand why I wouldn’t share. Don’t worry, I shared plenty of carrots and beans with him. But this recipe packs raw garlic which is not good for dogs. But powerfully good for humans compared to cooked garlic. It also has raw ginger and […]
The 4th & Great Eats
As fun as the 4th can be, I am glad it’s over. I guess fireworks aren’t as exciting as I get older and I hate what they do to the dogs more. Leela used to be terrified and was a nervous wreck during fireworks. Now that she’s older, blind, and mostly deaf, she doesn’t notice […]
