OH BABY ITS HOT// Lifestyle, recipes, salad

THE HEAT IS ON..... what to make?

Well this week has brought us summer temperatures and heat, will be over 30C for days. Not what I like, but just have to make the best of it.

One thing that I have been looking at are some simple , easy recipes to try out. Something cool and easy to make. When the heat is on I usually make a favourite cold cucumber soup and serve with cold cuts, slices of baguette and fresh vegetables.

CHICKEN SALAD with MANDARINES this recipe I use to make ,(before moving here) its DELICIOUS and simple. So when I found a recipe I thought I share it. PS I don't bother with the pears, the mandarines are enough , (it is slightly different to what i remember , the chicken was marinated in the dressing and then cooked.)

1/2 qt. Kraft Poppyseed Dressing

1 cups Frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

8 qt. Romaine lettuce, torn into pieces

3 qt. Cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped

1-1/4 qt. Canned pear slices, drained

1 qt. Canned mandarin oranges, drained

1/2 qt. Green onion, chopped

1/2 qt. Raisins or dried cranberries

MIX Dressing and orange juice concentrate until well blended.

TOSS Romaine, chicken, pears, orange segments, onions, and raisins in large bowl.
ADD Dressing; mix lightly. Serve immediately.

A recipe for Fudgesiscles , something I haven't had for ages. The recipe is vegan so worth a try. I found it here on this blog. https://gina-michele.com/2021/06/easy-and-delicious-vegan-fudgesicles.html

The recipe has only 4 ingredients so sounds simple to make... and also a yummy treat for a hot summer day like we are having.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
