THANKS (FOR NOTHING) GIVING HIGH HEEL CONCEPT MEAL

It's that time of year to roll up your sleeves and stand in front of the oven all day.

Thanksgiving is truly a holiday made for FLATS… or so you think!

The following Concept Meal will keep you looking fabulous and far from looking like a turkey.


THE SHOES: Get into the spirit with these unnnnreal plaid mary janes from Harajuku Lovers http://www.zappos.com/harajuku-lovers-airlie-black-combo?zlfid=111


THE FOOD: If you want to cut to the chase, buy some turkey cutlets instead of a whole bird and prepare it like I did in this Chicken Dish but add some fresh Thyme and Rosemary to the meat, with a splash of Orange juice!

THE TASTE OF THANKSGIVING (BEFORE THURSDAY)


DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!

*

Ahhh. What a wonderful time of the year.

Holiday decor is going up. The smell of peppermint and mocha fills the air. Your seasonal favorites fill the grocery shelves. Black Friday. I can't forget Black Friday!


And turkey. LOTS of turkey.


The following sandwich is so delicious and will put you in the "giving" mood any time of the year!


Also, you can use your leftovers on Friday to make this delicious dish!

**


- 2 slices of wheat toast
- 1/4 pound of low sodium turkey breast (I prefer Boars Head, thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon of cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon of cranberry jam
- 5-10 leaves of spinach


Toast your bread.

On one side, shmear the cream cheese. On the other, the cranberry jam.

Fill with turkey and spinach and cut in half.

This is truly something to savor.

HIP TIP - CARROTS AND HONEY FACE MASK

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!

*

NOTE: Please, if you have any food allergy towards carrots or honey, do not make this face mask! I'm no doctor, so if you are unsure, please consult with your physician before trying.

Carrots have Beta carotene and vitamin A that helps maintain skin's elasticity, protect from the UV rays sun damage, and keep the skin firm. Use this mask recipe for all these benefits!

**

  • 2-3 large carrots or approximately 6 baby carrots
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons honey

You can either cook the carrot in boiling water then mash the carrots down OR shred them raw in a food processor or by hand, then mix with the honey.

Apply to your face for 15 minutes, then gently wash with warm water. Pat dry!
