Just finished making and eating this.  It was a total improv of a meal and it turned out quite good.  I was looking for something healthy, filling and tasty after my sweat session at the gym tonight and this did the trick.  Here's how it goes:

You need:
* Turkey breast (sliced into strips)
* Broccoli, red pepper & onion (or whatever veggies you like)
* Curry paste 
* Plain Yoghurt
* Quinoa

Saute your onions in a little olive oil, while cooking your turkey in a separate pan.  Add the other veggies to your onions.  Once turkey is cooked, add that to the mix.  Prepare the quinoa.  Mix up two big spoonfuls of curry paste with three big spoonfuls (or more) of the yoghurt.  Poor over turkey/veg mix.  Simmer.  Poor over quinoa & enjoy.

I've teamed up with NailPolish Canada to offer my Canadian readers a special give away.  It's a cool Konad Nail Art (which has already sold out once on their website).  Basically how the Konad works is you paint the plate with nail polish then use the stamp to pick up the polish design and stamp it onto your nail.

To enter, simply leave a comment below (you do not need to have a blog to leave a comment) with your email address (but it'd be even sweeter if you followed).

The winner will be announced on Wednesday.

Winner update: 

Congratulations to Maria!
 

I'm rushing around today in preparation for tonight's girls Christmas party at a friend's house.  We are having a potluck and a Chinese Gift Exchange and I'm suppose to be there around 6pm.  So far I've done six loads of laundry and drank the shake above and still no idea what I'm bringing for food, nor what I'm wearing. Ack.

Since coming across the shake recipe last week, I've made it at least three times.  This time I substituted Nutella (since I'm clearly obsessed) instead of honey, turning this into a peanut butter Nutella oatmeal milkshake (what a mouthful).  Whaaat.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Have a great Saturday night!


Week 3 of the no-nail-biting 'project'  |  I wear my hair like this far too often

Christmas is around the corner, and every year, my Mom asks me to put together a wish list of items I'd like to receive.  This doesn't mean I will get them all, but it's helpful for the shopper and exciting for the receiver to potentially get something they really, really want.

I've listed a few of the things I've included on my list, and a few that weren't (pssssst, the Etsy ones!) but are beautiful none the less.  What you won't find on this list are expensive, unrealistic wishes (except the watch, it's pricey), simply affordable items from accessible stores.

Merry Christmas!

* A watch I've been covetting for almost two years. 
* Pretty unique bangle (in gold).
* This is a black handbag I actually like (not an easy feat).
Wedges I already own in another colour.
* A sweet dress in one of my favourite colour combinations.
* This cute but cheeky topper.
* Something polka dotted.
* Metallic.  Silver.  Pants.  'Nuff said.
Blush I'm too cheap to buy.
Feathered pillow.
* A mannequin bust form.  Anyone have a great link for one of these?


And, my favourite Etsy finds:

A beautiful long dress that is made to order so it could be long enough for me.
I love a good blazer (and this is custom).


Striped clutch.
An affordable rough diamond ring and another one that is channel set.

Chunky knit cowl scarf (and that's the exact wording I used to search it)...
...and a softer version from the same seller.





I read this book in 20 hours.  That is a record.  And no I am not some crazy speed reader.  I started it at 9pm on Friday and while away in cottage country, finished it by 5pm Saturday.  It`s hard to put down, and a super easy read.  My friend lent it to me, and it was laugh out loud funny.  Literally, I was laughing out loud multiple times (surrounding people thought I was crazy... or reading a really funny book.  I'm not sure). 

The book is full of ridiculous stories, thoughts and advice.  It`s 241 pages and includes everything from short chapters (140 characters) to long winded useless ramblings that while may be useless, made me laugh, so I guess they aren't so useless.

Verdict:  Buy this book (or borrow it and save yourself $27 bucks) and laugh.  Relax.  Transport yourself to another realm.  Enjoy.
