CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
I’m heading home for Christmas at some point this week. I’d rather not say the date, but I’m super duper excited. I also wanted to let people know that I probably won’t be posting every single day like I am now as I want to spend some good quality time with everyone. I also have a few guest posts lined up, which will be a neat little change to this blog. Are you excited!!? I am!!
I’ve been so tired these past few days and I don’t know what the cause of it may be. Since I’m super low in iron I always take supplements every 2 days since I find it too harsh on my body to take them every day. I notice they give me energy but maybe I’m just so excited that I’m going home next week? I don’t really know, but thankfully it’s the weekend and tomorrow I can possibly sleep in a bit. Last night I even went to bed at 8:00pm and had 12 hours of sleep. This weekend my boyfriend has to get some Christmas shopping done and of course I’ll be helping him pick them out, but we won’t be on the go at 9am at least. Ugh, sleep is the best.
I’ve also been slacking on getting together outfits on Sunday nights for the week. But here we are with another OOTWW (Outfit of the work week).
I’ve been experimenting a bit in the kitchen with other people’s recipes and even updated my recipe page once again due to the fact that these were keepers in my books, and tasted awesome enough to make again.
For instance. The other night for dinner, I was feeling like making my Brother’s “Pesto”. Is it still called Pesto if it’s made from spinach rather than basil? Not sure I’m a huge fan of basil. Either way, I liked it — but I wasn’t fond of the crunchiness from the slivered almonds I used. My boyf on the other hand was pleased with it. Next time, I’m using a mortar and pestle.
Close up of the tasty action.
The pesto itself was pretty darn awesome and I couldn’t even describe it because the flavors in my mouth were twinkling with delight. You’ll just have to make it for yourselves.Â
The chicken was so juicy. I rarely and I mean rarely cook chicken in the oven because hello “Mister George Forman” grill himself takes half the time. I forgot how good a chicken can be in the oven. I kinda like it. Especially because I didn’t have to keep checking on it like I do on the grill.
Anyhoodle, off I go!
