Raw Creamy Oriental Dressing

IMG_9546

It was a long Monday adjusting to spring forward, I didn’t get as much sleep as I’d like last night. That wasn’t a problem for Shadow, he just slept all day too. While Miko didn’t seem to notice his schedule getting thrown off, he was thrilled to have dinner an hour earlier actually. And Smokey [...]

Sweet & Spicy Onion Dressing

IMG_9439

So glad it’s Friday Eve, it’s been a long week being on call for work and tackling lots of projects. We started celebrating early here with a backyard play session when I got home from work. The weather was perfect for a little game of fetch. Leela took the opportunity to kiss up for an [...]

Simple Ginger Dressing

IMG_9411

When I get home from work, I’m usually confronted with the I-want-dinner-now stare from hungry chihuahuas. Their dinner is always served before I start preparing our dinner so they can beg for dinner number two while we’re eating. I’m usually just as eager for dinner after a busy day, but like to keep things simple [...]

WIAW with Salads and A Cranky Chihuahua

IMG_9268

The good news is this week is over the hump and that’s a fabulous thing after a non stop day at work. And it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday post! Leela seems to be on the same page since she’s been a bit cranky and content to sit in her bed all day [...]

Banana Curry Dressing

IMG_9027

I’m still on a documentary watching kick during my home workouts browsing through Netflix’s selection and checking out recommendations based of ones I’ve watched already. The latest documentary I just finished is Life in a Day, a beautiful, raw, and haunting look at July 24th, 2010 as captured by people from around the world. It’s [...]

Creamy Carrot Noodle Salad

Wait, how is it Sunday night already? Another weekend vanished too quickly! Keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll be a quieter week at work with the New Year’s mini break, we’ll see. We got a bunch of organic beets in our farm box this week and, due to lack of creativity, I decided to throw [...]

Raw Protein Gingerbread Ice Cream

IMG_8514

Even though this week has been hectic, I’m finally feeling relaxed and giddy about the holidays because my shopping is done … I think. And the chilly winter weather, Christmas playlist, and gorgeous holiday lights have been making weeknight runs nice! Shadow has been having his own celebration snoozing under the Christmas tree as much [...]

Avocado Dijon Dressing

IMG_8129

I’m feeling a little better after my venting session and my car has a new windshield with the inside smelling like fresh glue, ugh. Hopefully I can avoid getting stuck behind another dump truck! And make it through this week at work! It’s been crazy busy the last few days, I was stuck at the [...]

Sweet Broccoli Puree

IMG_8035

So many people I know complain about setting up Christmas trees and decorations, but I love it. There’s something special about bringing out boxes of decorations and family treasures filled with memories to wrap up another year. Our Christmas tree is quite a production that I’m still putting the finishing touches on. I probably have [...]

Avocado Banana Mousse

IMG_7872

It’s a wet weekend here and our two dogs are not happy refusing to venture out into the backyard in the wind and rain. Okay, I didn’t either for this mornings run. I was planning a quick 3-mile run, but ended up on the elliptical instead with the gusty winds outside. I can handle running [...]

Raw Vegan Sour Cream Dressing

IMG_7718

Mondays seem to be salad days for me, I like to start the week off right after a weekend of indulgence. But a healthier dressing recipe that tastes like an indulgence is okay after a long day back to the grind, right? This interesting recipe for Sour Cream Dressing caught my eye for the sweet [...]

WIAW and It’s Electric!

IMG_7640

I’m posting What I Ate Wednesday early because tomorrow is Halloween and I’ll probably be eating too much candy. Just kidding. I haven’t even purchased any candy yet for trick-or-treaters, guess what I’ll be doing on the way home from work tomorrow! But I will probably be too busy watching scary movies and handing candy [...]

WIAW for a Crazy Tuesday

IMG_7554

Happy Wednesday, this week is getting closer to being over! And I actually documented everything I ate yesterday for What I Ate Wednesday, something I have not remembered to do in awhile! Breakfast A smoothie with Garden or Life’s Raw Protein, a banana, kale, and a carrot that disappeared on the drive to work. Snack I [...]

Sour Hemp Dressing

IMG_5133

I have been pretty busy the last few days away from home at parties, work, and helping family move. And Leela has been letting me know all about it and the lack of attention she’s getting. Everywhere I go in the house this evening, she follows me with this look. Or she does her give-me-attention [...]

Another Creamy Avocado Dressing

IMG_4771

So far July is off to a stressful start here, the work week started with a bang with a couple of server issues today and I’m on call this week dealing with more issues tonight and hoping for things to settle down enough to get in a workout, ugh! I had a feeling this was [...]
