thought of the day

Sometimes I wish that...

saucy spaghetti squash

Tonight, for the first time, I made spaghetti squash. What a cool vegetable! In my effort to eat healthy and not want to bore my taste buds into nonexistence, I have been trying out some new foods. It looks like any other squash as you cook it, but when done, it pulls apart just like spaghetti stands. I made a tomato, white kidney bean and sweet pea sauce to go with it. For the tomato sauce I use Victoria's All Natural Marinara Sauce from Costco. It doesn't have any extra sugar or additives like many others and it tastes amazing! A few chillies and some hot sauce to finish it off and wow! It was great! Even my meat loving, I won't like anything vegetarian finance loved it. Success!

rita's power protein crepes

Due to my upcoming Mexican adventure, I have been watching what i eat - bathing suit and all. A friend of mine is a fitness model and she looks far better in a bikini than I ever will so I take what she says as gospel. She passed along her breakfast routine and turns out it's really tasty, super healthy and fast! 

 Here's what you need to do:

1 cup of egg whites
1 egg
1/4 cup of oats
1 banana
1 tsp almond butter

Combine eggs whites, egg and oats together and blend. I use a hand blender. This is your batter. Pour a small amount into a frying pan (spray first with Pam), make sure that you spread it around a lot and make a thin crepe. Repeat 3 times.

Mush up the banana and add the almond butter together. Add this filling into the crepe and roll them up.


Enjoy!!

In a couple weeks time I will be sitting on beach soaking up the shade (sun is bad for my skin) in beautiful Mexico. We are going to Hualtulco - I had never heard of it either - but it is beautiful! My finace's sister is getting married at a beautiful 5 star resort and we get to go celebrate! Cannot wait! Not only for Jinny to get married, but to have a whole week away from home, away from work and most importantly away from my iPhone.

bcbg addict

I have a mild, ok severe addiction to BCBG. When I'm shopping I always end up picking up anything BCBG in the store. I love the design and I love the colours. Here are a few of my favourites from this season.

These are in my shopping cart right now. :)

ted rossi

While reading one of my favourite mags this month FASHION I cam across these amazing bangles from Ted Rossi.  So I google the brand and am amazed at the line. There are so many beautiful accessories - I want everything. The actual bangles in the magazine were all variations of black and white poke-a-dots, but below I posted some of the other ones I found that I also love. I am now an avid Ted Rossi follower joining celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox and Hilary Duff.

Beautiful!
