👉🏽 Swipe to see how I whip up these Mediterranean Stuffed Acorn Squash filled with Santorini Lemon Dill @purgrains, topped with Lemon Tahini Dressing! #purgrains_partner

Meet my new pantry staple, pürgrains! Over the last few weeks, I find myself reaching for their ancient grains frequently. Love that they are made with simple ingredients, incredibly flavorful and versatile! Not only can it be served as a simple side but also incorporated into main dishes. Since they cook up in 90 seconds, they are great for some of my more time consuming meals. Also, when your girl is tired and needs to put food on the table in a pinch. As a busy mama, I love a good cooking hack/shortcut! Like buying pre-shredded carrots or cabbage, frozen puff pastry, etc... And now adding my new fave @purgrains ancient grains sides to the list!

Stuffed with ancient grains, chickpeas, cranberries, pine nuts, parsley, the filling comes together quickly! Drizzled with a heavy serving of lemon tahini dressing, this dish is light, fresh and perfect for the fall season! 🤤🤤 Don’t forget to this that SAVE button for the recipe and try pürgrains today by purchasing at your local grocery store or online. Use the code PURGOOD for 30% off a pack of 6 when purchasing from www.purgrains.ca

It's the checking everyone off the list and scoring major Cyber Week deals for me! 🤩

Remember when I shared how with eBay Refurbished we can save up to 50% on high quality items like small home appliances, headphones, computers, and more? Oh, and when I also mentioned that they come with an industry-leading warranty and help to make a positive impact on the planet by extending the life of products, and reducing waste? You remember, right? Ok, good!

NOW it’s time to take advantage of @eBayCanada’s Cyber Week deals my friends!! You thought up to 50% off was good, but it's about to get even better, with sales on eBay refurbished products from brands like Apple, HP, Breville and many more!

Nothing beats Chili on a cold November night! Made

Nothing beats Chili on a cold November night! Made with @Famille_Fontaine Stewing Veal, smokey chipotle peppers, green peppers, black beans and served with a *heaping* spoon of lime crema. This bowl of goodness is a hearty and cozy dinner that is sure to warm you up! Hit that SAVE button to make for your next chili night 😋

Chili has always been one of my favorite meals in the fall. Growing up, we would make a classic ground beef version but I must admit, thicker/more heartier chilis are where it’s at (for me lol). Adding Famille Fontaine Stewing Veal was the perfect addition to this recipe. They come vacuumed sealed, which allows the meat to stay fresher longer. I must say, the way that the meat just falls apart - ouf 🥵 Only the best quality for my chili!

Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 pack (1 kg) Famille Fontaine Stewing Veal
Salt to taste
1 small red onion, diced
2-4 garlic cloves, minced or grated
2 green peppers, diced
¼ cup tomato paste
3 chipotle chili peppers, finely chopped
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp oregano
2-3 cups chicken broth
1 can (796 ml) diced tomatoes
1 can (528 ml) black beans
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp brown sugar
For Lime Crema
1 cup (250 ml) sour cream
1 garlic clove, grated
2 limes, juiced and zested

Directions:
Pat stewing veal with a paper towel and season with salt.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the veal and brown well. Remove from dutch and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil, onion, garlic, and green pepper to dutch oven. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Push the veggies to the side and add the tomato paste. Cook until fragrant smells sweet, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chipotle chili peppers, chili powder, smoke paprika, cumin, oregano and mix all until well combined.
