Wow is it hot. Look what my car thermometer said on the way home: That does not count the heat index either! Because of the heat our dogs have been on a reverse schedule. They stay outside all night and inside all day. Gotta watch out for your pets when the heat is on like… Continue reading Dog Days (Nights) of Summer
Noodle-y Lettuce Wraps
So if you read my meal plan for this week you know that I made lettuce wraps for dinner on Sunday night. I actually found the recipe through the Whole Foods "app" on Benzo's new iPhone. Neither one of us has had smartphones before so we've been checking out all the new apps. The Whole… Continue reading Noodle-y Lettuce Wraps

I Made Bread
I'm so proud of myself. I made a loaf of bread today. I actually took the cheater's way out and used my bread machine. But then I thought, who cares? If I have a bread maker I might as well use it! I get the same result in the end and it's a lot less… Continue reading I Made Bread

Cinnamon Bun Smoothie
I made the most delicious smoothie this morning that I had to share. I actually tried to make this smoothie for the first time one morning last week. I got all the ingredients together in the Magic Bullet cup and screwed on the blade. But when I pressed the blade end down into the Magic Bullet nothing… Continue reading Cinnamon Bun Smoothie

When Squash Bugs Attack
Yesterday we finally got a reprieve from triple digit temperatures. It felt almost like spring at only 90 degrees F with a slight cool breeze. I was able to run outside after work without fear of death! Since it was a bit cooler, Benzo and I headed out to the garden after my run to continue… Continue reading When Squash Bugs Attack

Today I spent some time working in the garden, trying to whack down all the weeds I was lamenting over last weekend. I made a little headway but I still have a lot of work to do. While I… Continue reading Weed Whacker

Blog Assembly: July 2010
Here is a collection of blog posts I've read this month that I enjoyed: Diet is Not a Religion - Chocolate Covered Katie Katie really hits the nail on the head when she says "guilt is present in so many areas of our lives", especially food. She goes on to say that a perfect diet does… Continue reading Blog Assembly: July 2010

What’s Your Eco-Vice?
If you've read my blog before you probably know that I am a fairly "green" person. I have reusable shopping bags (and I actually use them!), I shop the farmers' market and grow some of my own food, I drive a hybrid car, I recycle and compost and I'm starting to buy food with less… Continue reading What’s Your Eco-Vice?

Alakai Swamp Trail Hike
I am going to be busy all day today and all evening tonight so I already know I won't have any fantastic dinners to share (like last night) or pictures of the garden or anything like that today. So I thought I would finally post some more pictures of my trip to Hawaii. During our… Continue reading Alakai Swamp Trail Hike
