Happy Labor Day weekend! This time last year we were having a great rafting trip in Tahoe and I wish we could be there this year. But 2020 is a special mess, the few fun options for getting out this weekend are overly packed and it’s smokey thanks to more new fires and more triple […]
Bye Bye 2019 for the List
I am ready to to be done with 2019, it was an interesting year of growth and being tested. I’ve got my Green Dreamer planner ready for serious goals and fun for 2020 – new adventures, new recipes, getting out more, and conquering being a manager. Sounds good, right? How was your Christmas? Ours was […]
Vegan Food Overload for the List
Another week and weekend flew by which has been the way lately with work being busy. It’s also been a week of decadent eating with the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge going on all this month, so much that I’m going to need a food detox when it’s over! Let’s start with healthier eats at home […]
Simple and Healthy
It has been hot here with triple digit heat the last few days. So the pups have been kept inside during the worst of the heat and Miko is not pleased with that. And it’s been a busy week for me with multiple appointments today, running around in the heat has been exhausting. Sweet hubby […]
Celebrating Summer for the List
Summer has arrived here this weekend with temps in the 80s and 90s and Miko has been a happy camper with long walks and snuggle, lazy time after. For Memorial Day, we stopped at Zest Kitchen for lunch were it was packed! Love seeing such a demand for healthy vegan cuisine. I got the loaded […]
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 […]
Embracing Winter for the List
One of my goals for 2019 is to reduce my disposable plastic use and trash in general and have been spending a lot of time on the Zero Waste Subreddit It’s not easy with personal care items and so much food coming in plastic! So it’s been baby steps switching to shampoo bars, trying alternative […]
Comforting Eats for Tough Times
We’re still here with very frustrated dogs! Currently our air quality status is hazardous from the Camp Fire just north which is the worst rating I’ve ever seen. That rating basically means don’t go outside without a mask and it’s been consistently bad every evening since Friday so no evening walks for us. I’ve been […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge Eats for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast, but it was a great week and weekend with lots of good eats for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge. At Grocery Outlet, hubby found these little single serve containers of Go Veggie Vegan Chive & Garlic Cream Cheese he had to try for a baked potato. He is a […]
More Vegan Burgers for the Weekend List
Where did the weekend go? Boo. It’s been a good weekend, but busy. I just got back from picking my mom up from the airport and getting her settled at home back with her dog, Dasher, who has been staying with us for the last 9 days. It’s been hectic caring for 3 dogs and […]
