One of my fave 'healthy-easy-doesn't-take-too-long' dishes is spaghetti. I don't follow a recipe, the only prerequisite is that it is full of lots of fresh veggies (I like chunk to my spaghetti... and crunch for that matter!). It's pretty simple, so long as you are a good multitasker for a solid 30 minutes. So, get to the groccery store, grab your fave veggies, some ground beef and tomato sauce and let's get to work.
Cook up one package of lean ground beef...
Mince garlic and sautee in the wok with some olive oil...
Grab your fave veggies, and chop 'em up. I like colour and lots of mushrooms!
Chop the onions first and add them to the garlic sautee...
Continue stiring the beef...
Once the veggies have sauteed together for about 5 minutes,
drain the fully cooked beef and add it to the wok...
Grab the Prego (told ya I like mushrooms)...
....Add it to the mix....
Let it simmer and let the flavours come out (this is a great time to add spices, salt & pepper)...
Grab your pasta (I like to switch it up, but this night I was feeling the traditional spaghettini)...
Boil it till al dente
Pop the garlic bread in the oven (had to put cheese on ours)...
Enjoy!

I debated for a couple months on these heels before pulling the trigger. However, I was planning my wedding, and the finances had to be controlled (especially towards shoe purchases!). After the wedding though, I couldn't take it any longer, especially when they gave me the opportunity to take 25% off - don't mind if I do! Total bonus, they are quite comfortable and easy to walk in (yessssss).

I am really loving the draping trend and decided I needed more drape-styled items in my closet. What better way to do that than to make my own (drape vest). Initially I had wanted to make this out of grey jersey, but when I came up short (and the closest thing I could find was $10/metre), I had to change my plan. Since I needed three and a half metres, I wanted to keep the costs down (in case it didn't turn out). I found this really gauzy muslin which was perfect, especially at $2.50 a metre. I brought it home and got to work immediately, and this was the result, and I love it!
On another note, this was suppose to be an outfit that prevelantely outlined the look of black and navy together, however, these photos don't exactly do the colour combo justice, so, use your imagination.
* A few of you kindly pointed out I used pumpkin pie filling for my pumpkin bread/muffins and that was a total mistake! I didn't even realize myself that that's what I had used - I meant to get pumpkin puree, not that stuff.... that combined with all that sugar (honestly, what was I thinking?!) - no wonder it tasted to good!
{ 'Red Tape' by Wet 'n' Wild }
I recently discovered Wet 'n' Wild's new 'Megalast' nail polish line and I have to say I'm quite impressed. Now, you know how much I love OPI, but at $10 a bottle, you better really love that nail colour. The secret though, is in the brush. I've tried to convert back to cheaper polishes, but, the brushes are so skimpy that the enamel doesn't go on smoothly, takes several swipes per nail, gets bubbly, etc. These ones from WNW have a super wide brush (just like OPI) and the polish isn't thick so it goes on nice and smooth (reminds me a bit of Zoya, which I also like). The only downside? This line only has about 20 colours. I know, perhaps you are thinking, 'What? Just 20 colours?!' in a sarcastic tone, but when you own most general colours (you know, dark red, bright pink, burgundy, dark pink, etc.) from OPI, the last thing you want to do is dish our more cash for the same colour. However, I'll take what I can get (for now) because at $2 bucks a bottle, it's a steal.
