CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
Quick bloggy post!
The only pair of boots that I can wear for hours on end, and not have something dig in or cause pain are my Tahari boots that I picked up in October from Winners (I suppose, like a TKMaxx in the states?) I found them online here at PiperLime—another store in the United States. I’m not sure if they ship to Canada, but you can always try!
$79.99 um, yes please.
If you’re a reader of KDot’s Confessions of a Wannabe Fashionista’s site, than you’ll recognize my outfit for Monday. I was inspired I suppose you could say. But basically I copied her whole look since I loved this one that she created a few days ago.

It’s Friday! Happy Birthday Ta, if you still read my site!
Have a good weekend everyone, and enjoy relaxing, or running errands. We’re taking Alfie to the vet tomorrow for his yearly check up.
I had a “teaser” post up a few weeks ago mentioning that I’ll be reviewing something from CSN stores in the near future. Well that item has arrived, and I received a food processor.
This Cuisinart food processor is super tiny, and a perfect size for just the two of us.
However, what I didn’t realize is that it shreds chicken and peppers so quickly that you have to be very careful at how long you hold the button for. Whether it be 0.001 seconds, or 0.0005—I mean, it’s really that quick. Press once quickly and bam chicken is OBLITERATED.I think it’d be perfect for making salsa’s or bread crumbs, or what I did last weekend was put a full banana in, and it made it all creamy for my banana bread recipe. Genius idea, Nancy!
Before (about half a cooked chicken breast), during & after. Annihilated.
I know there’s only two buttons, but they basically do the same thing. I wish it had a slower feature, because I don’t like minced bell peppers, lol.
Love how quick it was to make my quesadillas. I’ve even done a step-by-step process on how I made them. But you can just easily view my recipe here.
Only the chicken and red pepper were put into the food processor, I cut the tomatoes by hand and added salsa on top.
Mix it all together!
Get the flat breads ready. Fold them in half, and cut them up the middle. See?
Open them up, and fill them with the mixture. Yum yum.
Don’t forget to add the cheese before you close the tops down! Cheese is necessary.
Ready to bake in the oven to crisp up the outsides. You’ll notice that I laid down parchment paper on my baking sheet (makes for an easier clean up!) also a “cooling rack” with all my quesadillas on it. That’s because I find if I didn’t end up doing that, the bottoms of the quesadillas get a bit soggy.
About 35 minutes should do it, on 350ºF. This timer is such a life saver.
The magic of blogging, 35 minutes is up and voila— out of the oven.
All ready to eat!!
I know that was a bit of a lengthy post, but I thought I’d show you what I ended up making using my Cuisinart food processor given to me by CSN stores to review! Awesome, right?
The best part? It’s soo easy to clean. I’m not even kidding you guys. There are only three pieces to clean! Just have to be careful with the blade.
Thanks again, CSN stores for another great product.
I want to ask you guys, is there any sort of machine that can cut chicken, or bell peppers into bite sized pieces without mincing them? Silly me thought that the food processor would do that. But really it’s meant for grinding herbs, making dips like salsa and the like. Which I will use! I just want something that can chop stuff…
