Spoonerism mixed with verbal paraphasia. I know I'm not the only one that has this pm syndrome!?!? Omg help us all!

She is a 3 year old Staffy mix. 18 pounds of snuggles.

Spayed, microchipped and incredibly well trained.

She loves cats and dogs, kids and last soft loving predictable grown ups.

She has a prey drive, no bunnies, guinea, birds, ie chickens, quail or such.

She should ideally be indoor and outdoor. She loves to be close to you but crates just fine if you leave. She was on streets till we got her at 8 months old. She has thumbs, and can literally get into food bins if you leave her with roam of house when you leave.

She is an alpha in our pack, knows when people come and go far before they arrived. Has incredible sense of smell.

Located in Nevada County

As a care provider, a single Mom, caring for parents, a ranch owner, and so on, whatever the case is...you can easily put yourself last. Why!? Who does that serve?

We come first. Without self care, there is no capacity to keep serving.

Are you guilty of this? I absolutely struggled to put my needs first. It took a life or death situation to wake me up.

What will change you?

I wanted to use up leftovers, and minimize food waste. The family left meal planning up to me.

I'm not a chef, but I know good flavor. I cook and that's plenty.

My 4 hour shift today, I used fresh apple for a banana apple and walnut bread.

My client was all in for an Asian inspired chicken wrap with a peanut umami type of sauce is what I told him over the walkie talkies.

I used cabbage, carrots, cilantro and the chicken.

Made a sauce with a nut spread, coconut milk, Japanese upon broth, orange juice, sriracha, honey, chopped peanuts and a hint of teriyaki.

Then prepped some leftover chicken thighs in coconut milk and umami flavor.

This came together soooooo nice. My goodness. Almost illegal good. 😆😋

Today I made the chicken I marinated yesterday. It was an orange sauce, orange juice, worshteshire, garlic, and a teensy bit of soy. It smells Amazing!

I made a russian and Asian inspired potato salad with things in fridge. It came out my best ever.

Potatoes, carrot, onion, garlic, boiled egg, edamame, sweet pickle, parsley, salt, mayo and sour cream.

I had lots of odds and ends from prep all week, so I made a balsamic edamame, onion, garlic and tomato salad.

Boiled egg for a quick bite.

Steamed potatoes for a quick bake.

A quick sirloin on the grill.

Dishwasher emptied, dishes and kitchen clean. For a 4.5 hour day.

I cook primarily for this client. I also cleaned the floor, dumped the kitchen trash, the compost, and did a fridge clean out of all spoiled leftovers. I wiped the fridge down inside and out, counters, appliances and rig fixed a funky kitchen sprayer. Meanwhile, teriyaki chicken, udon noodle, stir fry veggies, and green beans with garlic and pepper flakes and a homemade BBQ sauce marinade for the rest of the chicken in the fridge.

Time management is so crucial. That and red bull for me to pull through today. I absolutely love what I do. It's an impact and meaningful role to be able to serve in such a way for families that need TLC, a right hand, a breather, aid, support.

I am so familiar with the nuances, the between the lines, the unspoken, the breaking points. Its such an honor to be present and get to deliver where I can while also...not burning the food! Lol 😆 in all seriousness.

I am a care provider and that also means cooking!

How'd I do?

This girl was rescued from a backyard breeder. She was in pretty bad conditions we were told. That friends Mom could not keep her. She was just a wee bitty baby...with ears ready to take flight. It was instant love.

THEN...she started "talking". Some days I could not get her to stop, when I was on work calls, zooms..she was right there squeaking.

Eventually, I realized she wanted to "talk". Full on conversation will be had with this little princess.

Oh and..yes, carrots are her actual favorite food..
Ever.
