The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Oh boy, Monday again. Actually this one isn’t too bad since I’m not on call for work this week and I’m taking a much needed day off. Mondays are a great opportunity to start the week of food off right. In one of the raw vegan recipe classes I went to awhile back, we were [...]
This post is slightly all over the place with odds and ends from the week, but that’s about where I am after a busy week. Thank goodness the weekend is here and I just booked a week long vacation for us in July, I already feel relaxed and can’t wait! Finding good vegan shoes for [...]
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 [...]
I’m a little sad that it’s Monday already, where did the weekend go? But it was a productive weekend, hubby sweetly sterilized the kitchen since we’re really good and making a mess of it. I got lots of laundry done and a little more decluttering which felt wonderful. And we relaxed with cuddly pets. I [...]
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 [...]
This week is moving along and that’s a good thing heading into a 3 day weekend. And it’s Fat Tuesday, something I’ve never celebrated because indulging on a weeknight is not fun if it means being bloated, cranky, and hungover for work the next day. It’s just another weeknight here with Miko making the rounds [...]
With everything going on in the northeast, I almost felt bad about enjoying our perfect weather today … almost. Since hubby is feeling much better, we decided to get out for a bit for a little wine tasting and enjoying the scenery at a winery that is practically in our backyard, Dono dal Cielo. And [...]
Back to the grind today after a fun weekend and it could be a crazy week being on call and lots going on at work. At least the weather was beautiful today and I got some play time with Miko and his giant stuffed toy outside. He follows us all over the house dragging it [...]
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 [...]
They last few days have been nuts at work with so many people still on vacation. And I’ve had a bit of the blahs having to be back at work right after the holidays and trying to catch up on housework. But I did get a nice package this week from Nelsons Natural World thanks [...]
Last night was an exciting night for us, hubby’s band had a pretty big gig opening for another band at a bar. It was their first biggish gig teaming up with another band in a public show and what an experience! It was also a long day for me, I had to dash home right [...]
I’m feeling much better after my little pre-holiday funk, not stressed about tomorrow at all and had an easy half day at work and now a long holiday weekend full of family and food ahead, can’t complain about that! We will be having a chihuahua party here for the next two days watching my mom’s [...]
When I got home after another long work day, Miko was ready to party following me around the house with his toy ready for throwing! We had an extended game of fetch. And tug-of-war. But he’s still ready for more. And I’m ready for our first mini-blast of winter tomorrow with temps dropping 20 [...]
I’m sort of into seitan now because it’s as versatile and easy to prepare as tempeh while packing a lot protein – more than many meat products. I was pretty excited when I found a new seitan flavor to try this weekend from Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Why have I never tried any of their [...]
It’s been mostly pleasant here lately with temps in the 80s and plenty of sunshine, I’ll take it over triple digit heat! And the dogs have been enjoying playing in the backyard. Miko loves his Santa toy lately and I need to sneak it into the laundry soon because it’s getting crusty again! Last [...]
