The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
I meant to post this last night, but work had a different plan. It’s been that kind of week here with lots crammed in. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday because of the long days and was slightly depressed when I realized it was only Wednesday. At least the dogs were happy [...]
Hi and, wow, it’s Tuesday already? The last few days have been a blur, poor hubby is still sick with the flu, 4 days now with a fever – poor guy! And work has been stressful with lots going on. I’ve been racing around the house sterilizing everything, washing bed sheets daily, preparing meals for [...]
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 [...]
Very true this week and soooooo glad the weekend is almost here followed by a short work week for Thanksgiving – woohoo! I’m not the only one a little cranky this week, Leela was not thrilled about sharing her fireplace bed with Smokey. She looked at the bed and me and pouted for awhile before [...]
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 [...]
I can’t get enough of fast, veggie-based blender sauces with plenty of kick lately, they’re perfect for a fast meal after a busy workday. Our poor Vitamix is being worked into the ground, if that’s possible. It gets used at least three times a day lately for smoothies, sauces, etc. The container is starting to [...]
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 [...]
Okay, this weekend might be going by too fast. Friday, well most of the week, was simply insane at work. Time flew, but the stress levels weren’t fun at all and haven’t been easy to come down from this weekend. I spent most of Saturday running errands and getting the house under control with gardening [...]
I’m not sad that this is the last day of June, it was not a good month for me with work craziness and personal stress. I welcome July with open arms. July is summer to me with fireworks, hot temps, the California State Fair, my birthday, hopefully another Raw Health Expo, and other fun things [...]
Sunday already, ugh. Sunday night’s are a struggle for me to enjoy my last bit of weekend freedom while prepping for the work week by doing laundry, starting a fresh batch of sprouts, making fresh hemp milk for coffee, and trying to come up with some sort of meal plan. Despite the triple-digit heat, it [...]
Sweet hubby ordered a new dog bed on Amazon to see if our dogs like this style and it’s a little big. But that’s not stopping Leela from claiming it, she’s been parked in it most of the day making sure no one else can get it. She lets Miko or the cats know when [...]
Right when I started working on this post last night, our entire neighborhood lost power. And we didn’t get it back for a few hours, right before I went to bed. And it sucked! When I lived in Florida, loosing power was a regular occurrence, nothing like being without AC in 100% humidity! But it [...]
TGIF! So happy Friday is here and I have a pretty random post since that’s about all I’m good for after another mind-frying day at work! 1. We’ve been having a chihuahua party here the last two days with three of them in the house watching my mom’s chihuahua while she was out of town. [...]
TGIF! At least I hope, I’m on call this weekend and after this busy week, I’m keeping my fingers crossed things are quiet. The weather is anything but quiet, the wind is howling over our roof as I type with gusts up to 60 MPH and sideways rain. The most challenging thing about this weather, [...]
