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.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months. One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face when it’s windy outside. It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days . A pop of color is nice to see during the winter season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice. The Accessories . I love to add a few accessories also. Bracelets add a little interest to the look . The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good , as well as the multi twist bracelet. Ps The photo does not show the true color . It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull . After a few retakes no change. Camera issues.
