Like it a lox

Smoked salmon is back in my life in a big wayโ€ฆ. So salty and glorious. Before coming downstairs to make breakfast, I had to convince the lazy girls it was time to start the day. The one on the left still has night and day in reverse.. especially after last night. Party animal ๐Ÿ™‚ Some…

Winter Fitness Wear

Apple Pie Oats

Happy Sunday! What a nice and lazy morning <3 When we wake up, Bella jumps onto the bed and covers us in puppy kisses. Sheโ€™s usually very stingy with her love, except for in the morning. Whenever we sleep late (like today) she makes sure to jump up there and smack us to take her…

Blizzard Booty Burner

I woke up this morning so excited to seeโ€ฆ. SNOW! From a distance, that is ๐Ÿ˜‰ (I enjoy snow the most this way) One bonus point for chilly weather: when I take Bella out, she does her business wicked fast. I should put a jacket on her, but sheโ€™s like a little white furry lightning…

Oats, sneaks and bark

3 blog-related things from the day: 1.) The return of savory oats I say โ€œoatsโ€ but itโ€™s really Bobโ€™s Red Mill hot cerealโ€ฆ oaty enough, though. Seasoned with nutritional yeast, garlic, sea salt, cayenne, and topped with a slice of goat gouda + the last bit of Nanaโ€™s famous egg casserole 2.) New kicks! I…
