We went to my girlfriend's for appy's and cocktails, and then to one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary, The Livingroom http://livingroomrestaurant.ca. There were 6 of us and they gave us a really nice table in the corner so we could people watch all night, lots of hot outfits out I must say. The wine was flowing and the food was awesome. It was a set menu but lots of delicious choices. I had the pickerel fish (along with my two girlfriends) and our men went for the steak of course. At midnight we toasted with champagne and their famous "SHAFT" drinks. A concoction of espresso and alcohol which is just so YUM. The night gets a bit blurry after that haha but we had a great time. Hope you did too! We went for a mini hike in Fish Creek park on New Year's day, so beautiful there and then it was lights out early! Here are a few pics:
I went into work today for a dose of reality since being off, but it's still pretty quiet. Most people will be back to work on January 6th but we are fortunate to be flying to Mexico tonight. We are taking a red-eye flight to Puerto Vallarta to check out the hotel we plan to get married at. We gave them our deposit so I'm praying it looks like the website does! We meet with our wedding coordinator on Monday so that will be a relief to get everything finalized. The good thing about destination wedding's is they seem to do most of the work for you. I just tell them which table setting we would like etc and good to go. Works for me!
Hopefully I'll be sleeping on the flight but I always find it hard for some reason. So if I can't sleep, I might want to eat! In order to stay healthy (and not eat too many snacks), I made an omelet and pumpkin protein pancakes. I made some extra for my honey too, such a good fiancé aren't I? ;) Most people probably think I'm weird for bringing this stuff to the airport in ziplock bags but whatever...my stomach and mind feel so much better and I really like the things I make!
Here is the recipe for the pumpkin pancakes:
1 egg
3 egg whites
Half a scoop of vanilla protein powder (or flavour of your choice)
2-3 Tbsp of organic pumpkin (canned usually)
1 Tbsp of coconut flour
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all together and cook on a skillet or frying pan, flipping until each side is golden brown. Let cool and enjoy. Easy Peasy!
Have a great week everyone and I will have more updates next week!
Blessings and love,
