Winter Wednesdays Vol. 13

Welcome to the last of Winter Wednesdays! How the hell did it take so long to get here. I feel like you can see how cold that water is above.

BAKING

Made the Magnolia banana pudding for the millionth time. Stellar as always. It’s such an incredible (and easy) dessert to any gathering.

COOKING

I also made a sausage and mushroom strata, but with chicken breakfast sausage this time and it still tasted as good as it did with pork sausage.

CRAVING

I need to make this spring panzanella salad with crispy shallots immediately.

DRINKING

Attempting to make lavender vanilla iced lattes this week to usher in the springtime.

EATING

I’ve eaten so much cottage cheese lately (the good Trader Joe’s one) that when I had a bite this morning I audibly went, “Okay, it’s too much” so I think I need to take a break.

EXPERIENCING

On a weekend trip away, we stopped at the Friday the 13th diner again. Our fourth time. We might have a problem.

Fall Fridays Vol. 5

Happy Halloween!

BAKING/COOKING

I made this apple cider braised pork tenderloin and it was really good.

CRAVING

Homemade Halloween decorations! So I watched a YouTube tutorial on how to make a lifesized Georgie from It and it turned out pretty great!

DRINKING

I have all this extra apple cider and I don’t know what to do with it, but I really don’t want to drink it. Maybe apple cider coffee cake? Air fried apple fritters? Or maybe I’ll just boil it on the stove so the house smells amazing.

EATING

I made quesadillas with the leftover apple cider pork and yikes was it good. Added sauteed jalapenos and onions to it to oomph it up and it was an incredible lunch.

EXPERIENCING

Took a fall drive with Nathan because Ontario is exploding with colour right now.

LISTENING

To all of the hype around Scream 7. I am IN.

LOVING

We went to the Skydome to see the Blue Jays in a WORLD SERIES GAME and Joe Carter threw the first pitch. How is this real life.

SHOPPING

If you give out candy on Halloween, it should be law to also have a fog machine. Also, the Band-Aids that come with Polysporin on them? Life changing.

WATCHING

I saw the latest Halloween episode of Bob’s Burgers, which was just all right. Have to start the newest season of English Teacher soon.
