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 [...]

Fiery Sour Hemp Dressing

Wow Monday got here fast, back to reality today after a lovely relaxing day yesterday. Long runs from home are going to be a challenge for awhile with a lot of construction going on, one of my favorite running paths just became a construction zone for a new subdivision. So I took a little road [...]

Avocado Beet Soup

Whew, it’s almost Friday! I’m so glad after another weird and busy week at work. I’ve been in a stressed out funk the last two days with so much going on and I’m pretty sure the pups know it. They’ve been carefully watching and following me and being sweet little lap buddies when I finally [...]

Why isn’t it Friday yet?! Happy Wednesday. It’s been a strange week here with a lot going on at work and home, I’ve been feeling torn in many directions at work. I think poor Miko is getting a little bored with me hoping for a little play time. Such a sad face. And I feel [...]

Eating Through Chaos

So happy the weekend is finally here, it’s been a strange, sad, and stressful week. I’ve been feeling exhausted this week with work being so busy and all the bad news I think, just feeling worn out and really looking forward to some down time. I felt the need to treat myself this morning with [...]

I’m so happy the weekend is finally here and we’ve been living it up already celebrating hubby’s birthday with a little fine dining last night where I might have had too many amazing garlic fries and wine. So today we’ve been laying a little low relaxing and playing. And I crammed in a lot of [...]

Very happy the weekend is here and we’re not getting short-changed an hour for this one! After a draining week, I have a long list of things I want to catch up on today from finally doing my hair roots, garden work, laundry, and updating music play lists. I did finally make it to Costco [...]

Weekend of Splurge

wflunch

What a dirty trick spring forward is! I woke up early this morning thinking I had time for a long run and to touch up my hair roots before church, then realized we lost an hour. Ugh! Oh well, it’s been a great weekend so far and kind of nice to disconnect a little after [...]

Long Weekend List

IMG_9276

Wow, this long weekend is buzzing by, very thankful to have today off work too! So far it’s been a pretty quiet weekend at home catching up on house projects, lots of laundry, grocery shopping, and other unexciting, pedestrian chores. Great to get those caught up on for sure, but I’m hoping to get out [...]

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 [...]

Creamy Miso Dressing

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 [...]

Long Weekend Love

It is so nice to have today off work. While it’s been a great weekend, it’s also been packed with activities, so I’m thankful to have today to catch up on house stuff and get in a long run. I finished watching another documentary on Netflix, Happy, and really enjoyed it. It takes a look [...]

Cold Weather Compromise

IMG_8917

Watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead over the weekend inspired me to get moving on my New Year’s goal of using my juicer more. After feeding a lot of kale, 3 carrots, two apples, a huge chunk of ginger, and a kiwi through the juicer, I got an interesting looking pre-dinner juice that tasted wonderful. [...]

Just Venting

IMG_8116

The last few days have been pretty awful so excuse me while I have a little pity party. Sunday night I started getting bladder infection symptoms which made for a bad night’s sleep. By Monday morning, the symptoms were mild enough for me to suspect a false alarm and I went along with my day. [...]

One Sauce for Multiple Meals

IMG_7893

Miko had a great weekend toasting in front of the fireplace and playing. I wish I could say the same, but I’ve been in a funk the last few days feeling cranky, tired, maybe slightly stressed about the holidays and money, and frustrated. It’s a pretty common thing for me in November for some reason, [...]
