The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Is it Friday yet? Rats, I am ready for this week to be over. Poor Miko has been feeling neglected with me being a little burned out after busy days at work. And I haven’t been feeling too creative in the kitchen this week, there’s lots of stuff I want to do, like dehydrate more [...]
Thankfully this has been a much better week at work and in general. No windshield cracks and I got most of my Christmas shopping done. With that stress out of the way, I’m really starting to feel festive while enjoying our tree. And cuddling up with a sweet hubby and pets on a chilly night. [...]
Another weekend gone, wow. Unlike last weekend, this one was much more relaxing with not much on the agenda. We caught up on house work, took long dog walks, had a fabulous dinner out last night, and saw Pitch Perfect today which was actually a great movie, lots of funny and projectile vomit for a [...]
Awhile back I splurged on a pricy item at Whole Foods, actual wasabi powder and it wasn’t cheap! Since the real stuff is expensive to produce, most of the wasabi in the US is actually a blend of horseradish and mustard. That’s not a bad thing, but I wanted to see if the real stuff [...]
While our little Napa getaway was fun, it’s nice to get back home and relax with two annoyed dogs that we left them for a few days. And we had a lot of make up play time with Miko which he reminded us of constantly shoving his toy in our faces. And turning to my [...]
It’s only Tuesday and the week is already filled with ups and downs! A downer is work has been nuts still, so much going on with system upgrades, start ups, etc. I’m glad to be busy and it makes the day fly by, but it’s draining when our department is shorthanded. And then there was [...]
When I’m flying solo for dinner, I’m usually not sitting at the table alone. Shadow sits and pouts in hubby’s seat starring at me as if asking what I did with his favorite guy. I try to convince Shadow he’ll be home shortly, but he just stares at me with that worried and sad look. [...]
Smokey has a rough life, can’t you tell? It’s hard not feeling relaxed just looking at her. Gotta respect a cat that has no problem letting it all hang out and enjoying simple pleasures in life like cheap Ikea mats and sunlight. She inspired me to focus on simple pleasures for dinner like my favorite [...]
Whew, what a long day! But a great day despite nonstop rain and 6 hours of driving. Details tomorrow since I have over 200 pictures to go through and too relaxed after a glass of wine to do so. In the meantime, how about a wonderful bacon tempeh recipe? I’ve always wanted to try Lightlife’s [...]
Remember this show? I actually wore my hair in a mess of scrunchies like that in junior high and they looked ridiculous in my fuzzy curly hair! But I adored this show, Mayim Bialik was one my idols for being able to pull off such daring fashion – I mean a skirt made out of [...]
What a week! Work has been so busy, which I guess I should be thankful for, but have been feeling the need just to catch my breath lately. And catch up on housework with about 52 loads of laundry to do and some aggressive de-cluttering. I’ve been spending too much time playing on the weekends [...]
Okay, now I’m really ready for this week to end! I got this bright idea for dinner to try a curry spinach pate because I have quite a bit of spinach in my garden now. Cute ladybug, huh? It’s like she was waiting there for me to take the picture. :-) Anyway, I got really [...]
Whew, halfway through the week! But I’m still playing catchup on all the chores I did not get to over the busy weekend. Although a bit chilly, the weather was sunny and clear today, perfect for eating outside. I had lunch at Whole Foods again and enjoyed my salad in the beautiful sunshine. I was [...]
I’m proud of myself – I actually remembered to wear green today and made my breakfast smoothie extra green thanks to kale, spinach and hemp protein powder. And later indulged in another green drink. I think this one is my favorite flavor so far. Amanda Seyfried’s wonderfully insightful comments on her raw diet from Friday [...]
I’ve learned a lot about the nursing profession being raised by a nurse and having many nurses in the family, it’s a very high-stress job that requires a lot. It also affects people very differently, I’m surprised at the number of nurses that are over-weight and/or addicted to chain-smoking. You would think the profession would [...]
