Thanksgiving Weekender
















I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend (fellow Canadians). I thoroughly enjoyed myself and used every opportunity to spend time with family, eat yummy food and take in the wonderful fall sights. The bf, mama and I went for a drive up north to check out the changing colours. We went to Caledon East which was in peak change and it was absolutely beautiful! I love getting out of the city for a drive. It didn't bother me at all that it started to rain on our way back. Just as well because we had a lot of cooking to do for the big dinner ...

We had dinner at my place. There were four of us. My wonderful friend Hana chowed down with us. What was going to be a simple dinner ended up being a little more than I had originally planned. We had brussel sprouts, mushroom and walnut stuffing, roasted potatoes, homemade gravy and cranberry sauce, and lemon, rosemary turkey. We finished it off with pumpkin pie and ice cream. It was a lot of food but well worth all the effort. I hope you all ate to hearts desire and enjoyed spending time with your family and friends this past weekend even if you didn't celebrate the holida.

Along Came Fall!

 






So it's now officially fall! I absolutely love fall for it's cozy weather and colourful leaves. I have been noticing signs of fall now for a few weeks and have started to wear boots, pack on some layers and throw on a scraf. Although it's been pretty cold and rainy here in Toronto I am enjoying it. Right now I'll take any excuse to stay in my pj's all day, read a book and sip tea. I can't wait for the leaves to really change colour and to go for a fall hike. 

Since I was feeling the fall spirit, I toasted some acorn squash this past week. It was yummy and really easy to make. I followed this recipe. I also salted the seeds and sprinkled them with cumin and paprika. They were delicious!

Happy Monday!

Hey, I hope everyone has had a relaxing and fun weekend :) Here are some pics I have taken lately ...

My cousin Maria @ Orchard Bloom inspired me to make jalepeno grilled cheese. You can see her post here.

Fall is just around the corner peeps. I have started to wear scarves and sweaters and am loving it. I also bought some squash! 

Happy Weekend!
