Happy Halloween!

If you know me, you know it's no secret that Halloween is my favourite time of year ( aside from Christmas of course). Halloween is a chance to dress up scary or gory, and it is a chance to freak your friends and family out with your creative side.

From baking, decorating, and playing with make up I love it all. Showing off your creative side is always exciting. You don't need to be a professional, you just need to love what you are doing.

Another enjoyable aspect of Halloween, is picking pumpkins with friends

 

And carving those pumpkins with friends 

Celebrating with those around you bring joy and excitement.

You get to enjoy things you wouldn't enjoy on any regular day.

Best of all you can share these moments with those around you. From pumpkin picking, corn maze walks, haunted tours, and parties or gatherings with friends. 

My favourite wines; Apothic red and Gnarly head red wine with home made cookies, cupcakes, and reese's pieces

Add Beauty to your life

We take for granted the beauty of our world. Enjoy every aspect; the good and the bad. One small positive thought could change your day.

These flowers are in lieu of my great uncles passing. It has been a hard time for me. However I have had a ton of love and support. This lead me to realize, my uncle wouldn't want me to be upset, he would want me to celebrate who he is.

Stay Warm!

Stay Warm!

Hey fellow bloggers and readers!!

Winter is slowly approaching whether we would like to admit it or not. Bring on the boots with the fur, thick warm coats and of course scarves toques and gloves. I have decided that I will not let winter beat me this year and I hope you don't either. My solution? Warm stew!

You will need a crock pot however this time we are going to make Stew!

2 Chopped Carrots
2 Celery
3 Potatoes ( depends on size)
1 Onion
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
1 can of peas
1 clove of garlic
1 1/2 cup of vegetable broath
1 pound beef -- for you meat eaters
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp of tumeric
Optional : 
 1 pound of mushrooms

Add some seasoning of your choice ( I enjoy parsley or a bay leaf)

Just like any other crock pot meal add your ingredients, and cook on low for about 10 - 12 hours.  If your like me and don't enjoy adding meat to your stew cook for about 7-8 hours instead.

Enjoy :)

Get Healthy!

Get Healthy!

 From time to time, I will be posting new healthy ideas to help inspire you! Growing up in Canada I am all too familiar with “Cabin Fever”. As soon as the snow falls you become unmotivated to get out to find peace and happiness. Lets face it, the cold weather is no fun! On top of that, holiday season means multiple dinners, delicious seasonal foods and of course the more food you eat the more pounds you feel you have packed on! But it doesn’t have to be that way!

     My first step in motivating you readers to getting healthy is by checking out my chili recipe! However I am a vegetarian so my meals will consist of meatless options. If you feel the lack of meat doesn't suit your needs feel free to throw in some extra lean ground beef or perhaps some Italian sausage into the mix to spice things up!

1 Can of Pinto Beans

1 Can of Kidney Beans

1 Can of chopped tomatoes  

1 Cup of Vegetable stock

1 Zucchini 

1 chopped onion

1 Red pepper

Chopped mushrooms 

2 garlic cloves

3 tbsp chili powder 

1 tbsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp of your favorite hot sauce ( you don't need to I personally enjoy Siratcha)

Make sure to put the whole can of tomatoes in, the tomato water will make it less dry. If you are still finding your chili a bit dry add 1/4 cup of water. 

place in slow cooker for about 6 hours. 

 Sprinkle with cheese when done andVoila!
