Tuesday's Tune - July 31st, 2012

Woah seriously, where did July go? I know Summer always seems to pass by quickly, but is it just me or is the year 2012 passing by at lightning speed?

Today's track isn't new, but my friends and I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago while watching this ridiculously amazing dance crew called Remote Kontrol. Not only were we blown away by their moves, but we all fell in love with this song called "Crave You" by Flight Facilities, remixed by Adventure Club. You have to enjoy Dubstep to really appreciate this song, just a warning.

Pretty awesome no? I recommend listening to it loud... like really loud!

Tomorrow's blog will show a sneak peak of the wedding lace wraps that I'll be using for an upcoming wedding so be sure to check in! Enjoy the sunshine for me xo

Cheers!



Have a good one guys!

Cheers xo

Tuesday's Tune - July 17th, 2012

Hello! Today's tune is fresh off the market! No Doubt released their new single called "Settle Down" yesterday, and I have to admit - it's growing on me. The first listen I wasn't sold at all, but I find most music grows on me after a couple of tries, so I decided to not judge the book by its cover and gave it another go!

I am really excited for their new album to drop in September, its been so long that No Doubt released anything, 10 years to be exact!



Well here it is, "Settle Down" by No Doubt

How good does Gwen look? Hot.

Cheers!

Oh Jenna...

Have a good weekend everyone, stay cool!

Cheers!

Roasted Veggies

What I really love about Summer, is the variety of fresh vegetables! I recently started going to "Daousts", which is a local market, that sells fresh local fruits and vegetables, about 5 minutes away from Hudson. The price is right, and I am always satisfied with what I buy!
Lately I have been buying random veggies, grilling them and topping them with goat cheese, SO delicious. What's fun about veggies, is you can literally do anything with them, put it in a sandwich, top it on a homemade pizza, or pop them into a pasta etc. If you live alone like myself, save your left over roasted or grilled veggies for omelets, so good!


Here's a recipe from Chatelaine Mag, it's simple, packed with flavor and takes about 15 minutes to cook!



Roasted veggies and pasta with goat cheese

Ingredients

• 3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 1 yellow pepper, chopped
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 450 g pkg whole-wheat or spelt linguine
• 1/2 130 g log herbed goat cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded fresh basil

1. Position a rack in bottom of oven. Preheat oven to 500F. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Place garlic in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, pepper and onion to garlic, along with oil and salt. Season with fresh pepper and stir to coat. Spread veggies out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
2. Roast veggies on bottom oven rack until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Stir halfway through.
3. Add pasta to boiling water after veggies have roasted 7 minutes. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes
4. Remove roasted garlic to a large bowl. Mash against side of bowl. Add veggies and their juices. Drain pasta and add to bowl. Crumble in cheese. Sprinkle with basil and stir until combined.
