I am thankful for the long weekend ahead after this week. Poor Miko gives me this sad look when I’m wiped after a day of work and training and he wants to play. Such a guilt trip! But he’s been spending a lot of time in the backyard with me where I am scoring lots […]
Tahini Miso Dressing
I am so happy Friday is almost here, it’s still too busy at work. But I had a great hill/tempo run at the gym after to blow off some steam. And Miko is doing much better thankfully! I’ve been adding cooked brown rice to their dinners this week and he’s been enjoying making a mess […]
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 […]
Raw Vegan Version of a Classic
Friday is almost here, thank goodness! And Miko is thankful for zucchini scraps he gets when I break out my vegetable spiral slicer. Summer approaching means soon zucchini will be everywhere here and I’m looking forward to loading up on massively huge ones at farmer’s markets just so I can use my spiral slicer for […]
Salads Can Be Gooey and Cheesy
Miko is a little bored with me this week. I’m still feeling washed out with this cold, but it’s almost gone! Thank goodness, I’m ready after 5 days of it! Colds can cause some interesting food cravings for me, anything salty, fatty, and/or sweet which are bad options for energy crashes and feeling even more […]
Simple Lentil Miso Soup
Skipper is always such a sweetie and boy does he love meal time! He got such a workout last night frantically cleaning his bowl, then Miko’s bowl, that he had to lay down and rest in the kitchen. I got a bit of a workout using my spiral slicer on a huge zucchini. I have […]
Funky Eating
I’m here, really. I’ve been in a bit of a funk the last few days with a lot going on including a sick cat, sick family member, work, and other stresses. Miko was so sweet when I got home from work today ready to play and following me around the house. Shadow is hanging in […]
Kale Apple Soup
Every evening here is a dinner eating competition between Skipper and Miko, who can finish their bowl of V-Dog fastest? And move on to each others bowl to clean anything that was left behind. Then hang out in the kitchen and beg while we’re making dinner. We have routines in this house! I had a […]
Curry Zucchini Soup
Yesterday was a long, but fun day. It was National Plug In Day, a holiday to celebrate electric vehicles, and I volunteered with SacEV at a big celebration event at the Folsom Outlets. It was an all day event and I was scheduled for the second part of the day to show cars, answer questions, […]
Creamy Balsamic Quinoa
Happy long Labor Day weekend! It’s been a leisurely day here with a trip to the gym, Whole Foods, and dog walks. But poor Skipper is getting a little tired of the summer heat, he crashed in grassy shady spots a few times during today’s walk. It took some gentle coaxing to get him moving […]
