Weekend of Food

Well it was pretty much a lost weekend - the diet & healthy eating went out the door! First it was crepes on friday, then I stuffed myself with pretzels on Saturday, and today we had thanksgiving dinner! Although I currently look like I'm pregnant, it was worth it - the food was delicious!

 (Forgot to take pics of the pumpkin pie - sorry! But it's the same pie recipe under the 'Recipes' tab)

 The weather was beautiful today too.  It was around 29 degrees, but felt like the 30's in the sun... it was like summer came back to visit for a while :D  So we took a walk, and ended up having a drink and snack at Second Cup - I had a croissant, and my sister had a raspberry cheesecake.

Right now, I am collapsed on the couch and watching Julie & Julia.... a movie about - you guessed it - Food!! 

Crepes and Apes!

The weather was lovely and sunny yesterday, so we decided to walk down to Queen Street and treat ourselves to some yummy crepes at 'Cafe Crepe'!  The crepes were huge and soo filling (especially when you order their special, which I did, with Nutella, Hazelnuts, Bananas and Grand Marnier :D ) ... so we didn't eat much for the rest of the day!!  

A few pics of Queen Street:

 After that we went to the movies and saw 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' , and it was amaaazzing - a 10/10! I loved it!  I would say it's on the same level as movies like Avatar (even though avatar had much more special effects); but planet of the apes had a great storyline (I was definitely cheering for the apes, not the humans hehe).

Fruit for the mind, body and soul!

I have quite a bit to do today, and I need to plan the dinner for thanksgiving this weekend!!  I was thinking of making the same dishes I cooked last year (maybe not as many though, cos we had enough left over for a few weeks!);  Turkey breast with rosemary, sweet potato balls, a green beans side dish, and pumpkin pie with frozen yoghurt for dessert.  I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!  I'll definitely post some pictures of the food afterwards.

Anyway,  here's what I had for breakfast today...  some bran flakes with bananas, strawberries, cinammon and honey - healthy & full of energy!

I also wanted to show you a new favourite scrub I've been using.  It's a pink grapefruit and tangerine body scrub which I bought from my salon 'SugarMoon', and it's very effective for exfoliating and really softens the skin so you don't need any moisturizer afterwards!  I've had it for almost a month, and the jar is still quite full!  It also smells amazing!  I wish you could smell it through the computer :)

Random - Music video & pic

I recently discovered Ingrid Michaelson's songs when I heard her song 'Be Ok' in an advertisement on TV, and then  I came across this song on youtube :)

Sunday breakfast on Monday

I woke up this morning, and I felt like having a really healthy & tasty breakfast ... it felt like it was a Sunday morning!  Here's what I made:  a health omelette with vegetables & cheese along with a grapefruit and my favourite hazelnut coffee!

P.S. Can anyone recommend a good camera with high sensitivity?  The camera I'm using now is a Sony Cyber-shot 8.1 Megapixels, which is pretty good at focusing but when I enlarge the pictures here they become blurry! :S Any suggestions?
