Okay, Winter. So are you here, or are you leaving and coming back? I am so confused! When I was a child, you and I were on the same schedule. You would come a few weeks before Thanksgiving, snow a few days after, and we would be pretty good friends throughout. Giving me just enough snow for playing in, and for getting off school. Now, my children are wondering what snow is. I am not complaining, just wondering who you have become? Maybe we'll catch up in a few weeks!?! - Lesley
Class #4 Hair
and Make up Session #1 Make Up
For those with porcelain skin, it is important to
brighten the eyes by dabbling a medium shade of concealer on your lids, as well as
in the inner corners of your eyes and underneath them. (Too light of a shade
will leave a whitish “owls eye” ring. )
To ensure you look younger( for all skin tones), make sure you watch out with
metallic colors with your make up - while they might look great, they can also
show up every wrinkle, line and blemish!
Turkey Time
Because you probably still have some turkey leftover, I thought I would share an interesting article about some very creative recipes and uses for the turkey that just hasn't found its way into your tummy quite yet!
Monday Brown Bag Lunches
Once you feel like returning to a more healthful weekday routine, turkey is a great lean way to add protein to your everyday brown bag lunches.
Substitute the chicken for turkey in this arugula salad with black quinoa and lemon-tahini dressing. Add a little pile of shredded turkey to your go-to vegetarian grain dishes like spicy orzo, carrot and date quinoa, or couscous salad.
Brown bag lunches are a great opportunity for leftovers in the first place, so get creative, but also don’t be afraid to just throw together a green salad with turkey and your favorite dressing.
Tuesday Taco Night
On day five it’s time to spice things up. Leftovers can get a little dreary by this point, so it’s important to have fun with them. Tacos are a great way to hide different ingredients.
Whip up some easy taco night classics likespicy black beans, guacamoleand pico de gallo. You can shred up the turkey as is, or toss it together with the black beans to get it moist and saucy.
If you prefer your black beans as a condiment, try simmering the turkey in a basic tomato sauce and adding chipotle chiles, or just some chili powder and cumin to give it a Mexican kick.
Wednesday Takeout at Home
For the next two nights, your strategy is to hide your turkey in amazingly flavorful dishes. I love making classic take-out dishes at home. But if you’re a little wary of trying your hand at turkeyTikka Masala from scratch, there are also a handful of great ethnic simmer sauces available to you in the international food aisle of your supermarket. Any type of curry would work well. If you have leftover rice, fried rice is also an easy way to use up the last of your bird.
