I am curious and hopeful about the benefits of garlic, specifically raw garlic. The platelet and cardiac benefits outlined by Dr. Greger here are very attractive for long term health. Not only is it great for the heart and blood flow, it also fights cancer. But raw garlic is strong, very strong. This simple avocado […]
Running with Chickens for the List
Leela is finally getting the hang of her cuddle bed! Well, most of the time. But that’s progress! And I am feeling sleepy looking at that pic after a long day, but need to finish catching up on laundry for the week first. Allergies are better after I broke down and started using Flonase. I […]
Roasted Dill Potatoes
Apparently I have been a drag this week because these two have been stalking me around the house waiting for something exciting to happen. It’s true, I’ve been an allergy-suffering zombie ever since I ran the Parkway Half Marathon last weekend. I have never dealt with allergies like this, my eyes have been itchy and puffy […]
Sriracha Peanut Dressing
I pretty much love any sort of nut or seed butter based dressing, tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, and sunflower butter are all awesome in dressings. As long as the dressings aren’t too heavy or rich and that’s what I found looking for a good spicy peanut dressing, many dressings called for 1/2 cup or […]
The Parkway Half & Weekend List
Happy Sunday, hope everyone is having a great weekend. We needed to play a little catch up today with chores and yard work and I’m feeling a little wiped and sore after a challenging half marathon yesterday. Miko has just been a cute and cuddly sweetheart all week to remind us we should never go out of […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 3
Time to wrap up our LA adventure. Saturday was another long, but awesome day. After hitting the hotel gym and breakfast bar for loaded vegan oatmeal bowls, we headed out to the La Brea Tar Pits. I honestly did not know much about the tar pits beyond what I’ve seen in movies like Volcano, so […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 2
Day 2 of our Los Angeles adventure started early at the Griffith Observatory, an iconic spot in LA I’ve seen in plenty of movies but have never actually been to. If you’re not actually going into the observatory, just taking in the views and hikes – before noon on a weekday is perfect since the […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 1 for the List
We’re sitting at the airport waiting for our flight home after a fun and packed few days in Los Angeles. This may sound strange as a Californian, but it’s been years since I’ve vacationed in this area and after this trip we will be back soon. And goodness, I have so much to cover after […]
Smoky Peppercorn Dressing
We’re trying the dog beds with built in cuddle hoods again because the blanket chaos with the chihuahua beds is getting a little crazy. Leela is still not sure she likes this or has not figured this concept out even though she has no problems burrowing into blankets. I’m not giving up, eventually she’ll embrace these, […]
Smoky Roasted Potatoes
The last few days have been a drag for the pups, not enough walks with all the wind and rain. There has been a lot of pouting. And nasty looks. For some reason I have become obsessed with smoky flavors with all the rain, there’s something savory and comforting about a hot, smoke-seasoned dish. Where […]
