What I Wore Wednesday #1

February 29, 2012 – 8:30 am

Morning everyone!

…And welcome to my very first edition of What I Wore Wednesday! I’m still debating on whether I should just include one OOTD or multiple OOTDs {IE: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday’s outfits– I’m way too lazy to do every day of the week. Baby steps, right?}. What do you guys think?

I actually bought these flats a couple of weeks ago. I was working my second shift at my new job {I work P/T in retail} and by four hours into my shift, my feet felt like they were just… going to fall off. I almost cried {no lie!}. During my break, I dashed on over to Aldo and was like “Sell me your most comfortable and cheapest flats!!!! …Please *SMILE*” They are so simple looking, but they are comfortable and I wear them to work all of the time ;)

Also, I want to ask you guys something completely random– If you could wish for one appliance for your home, what would it be? I already wrote about my dream apartment last month and guess what? The “Fairy Hobmother” from AppliancesOnline.co.uk visited me and sent me something special! If you comment, telling me what you would wish for, you might just get a visit too ;)

Happy Meal Plan Monday! ;)

February 27, 2012 – 8:30 am

Last week ended up being super busy, leaving me with pretty much zero time to relax and blog. There was one night last week where I got home– from a long shift at work– ate dinner, and went for a nap at 8:30PM. I woke up the very next morning! How crazy is that?

That being said, I am incredibly happy {and relieved!} that I started making these meal plans up a couple of weeks ago. For the most part, we’ve been following them. There was only one day where we decided to get take-out instead, but it was because neither of us were home around dinner time. By the time we got home later in the night, we were both starving {it doesn’t help that we live right across the road from a Chinese restaurant! Heh…}.

Meal Plan {Feb. 27 – Mar. 4}

Lunch:

M: Sandwiches & Fruit

T: Quesadillas leftovers for Ken, Greek Salad & Fruit for me

W: Sweet and Tangy meat balls w/rice leftovers

T: Nuggets and Fries for Ken, Caesar Salad & Fruit for me

F: Tortellini leftovers

S: Rice & Black Bean Casserole leftovers

S: Stuffed Shells leftovers

Dinner:

M: Chicken Quesadillas

T: Sweet & Tangy Meatballs w/Rice

W: Spiced Pork w/Apples + Mashed Potatoes & Carrots

T: Tortellini & Chicken w/Garlic Bread

F: Mexican Rice & Black Bean Casserole

S: Stuffed Shells

S: Pork Tenderloin Marinade {I’ll probably serve potatoes and broccoli with this}

A week in Photos

February 26, 2012 – 3:45 pm

I was in zombie mode pretty much all week, so I’m super happy that today is Sunday, I’m off work, and it’s the end of a very busy week! Actually, this upcoming week looks pretty similar: working three shifts, 3 hour class tomorrow night, internship on Wednesday, and three small applications and projects to complete. I’m going to try my best to squeeze my thesis work and gym time in there too!

(1) Yep, I wake up this early for work on some days @__@

(2) Ice Capps from Tim Hortons: a must when trying to wake up at 5:50AM or working on a thesis.

(3) I haven’t had Timbits {also from Tim Hortons} in ages! So worth it though.

(4) My Valentine’s Day Hello Kitty chillin’ out

(5) I have no idea what I was watching, ha… but I felt compelled to take a photo

(6) At work, feet aching! Damn you, retail {okay, I’m lying– I still love you and your lovely discounts!}.

{Recipe} Fettuccine w/Rose Sauce

February 22, 2012 – 8:09 am

I came up with the simplest, yet most delicious, recipe the other night. It was Sunday night, 9PM. Ken and I just got back home from grocery shopping and we were incredibly hungry. We wanted something tasty, but quick {usually, this our cue to opt for chinese or pizza}. After browsing the fridge for a few minutes, I finally thought of something!

Fettuccine w/Olivieri Rose Sauce

Ingredients:

- 3/4 box of Fettuccine Pasta

- 600ml Olivieri Rose Sauce

- 2 Chicken Breasts, sliced

- Crushed Chillies

- Olive Oil

- Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Instructions:

Boil a pot of water and follow the instructions on the back of the Fettuccine pasta box.
Heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, adding the chicken (sliced).
Once the chicken is half way done, add 1 tablespoon of crushed chillies {feel free to add more/less!}.
Add the 600ml container of Rose sauce to the chicken, heating it– on low– for a minute.
Drain the Fettuccine pasta and add to skillet, gently mixing it in with the chicken and sauce.
Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!

~~PS: Stay tuned this evening for a “What I Wore” post ;)~~

My first Meal Plan Monday!

February 20, 2012 – 12:02 pm

I really like these weekly memes that various bloggers are doing. Right now, Nancy is doing a “What I ate Wednesday” and Erica from WasteMyTime.ca is doing a bunch, including a weekly money checkup. I’ve decided to take the plunge and focus on two new weekly features: Meal Plan Mondays and What I Wore Wednesdays.

Today is actually the perfect time to start my Meal Plan– we just went grocery shopping last night and our schedules have been getting busier and busier over the last few weeks. A meal plan is a fantastic way to become a little more organized {and eat a little healthier!}. No more take-out for us this week!

Meal Plan {Feb 20-26}

Lunch:

M: Sandwiches & Fruit {or crackers}

T: Tortellini leftovers

W: Mac N’ Cheese leftovers

T: Nuggets & Fries {for Ken} / Greek pasta salad {for myself}
