Spiced Pumpkin-Raisin Granola Bars — Any raisin

Spiced Pumpkin-Raisin Granola Bars — Any raisin fans up in here? 🙋🏽‍♀️😆

I LOVE raisins! They’re in some of my favorite dishes (hello Colombian food and carrot cake 👋🏽). From sweet to savoury, breakfast to dinner, @raisins.ca are the perfect addition to any dish. They add natural sweetness, so you can cut back on added sugars in your recipe.
Not to mention the best raisins come from California! 😉

Let’s talk about these delicious bars here! They’re soft, chewy and filled with my favorite fall flavours— pumpkin purée, warm spices, toasted oats, and a whole lot more goodness. Give that link in my bio a little tap for the recipe. 😏

What’s your favorite dish with California raisins? Sweet or Savoury?

5 reasons why you’ll love having an organized sp

5 reasons why you’ll love having an organized spice pantry.

1. You’ll stop overbuying spices! I’m sure you don’t need another package of garlic powder or cumin but you don’t realize because it’s hiding. 😂

2. You can put your jar hoarding to good use! Big or small, storing your spices in glass jars look extra cute and you can SEE everything you have.

3. If you don’t have a jar hoarding problem, then it’s an excuse to go shopping at IKEA. 😏

4. Every time you open the door, you’ll be filled with instant joy and feel like you’re in a cute pin on Pinterest.

5. You can leave the spice cupboard open while you’re cooking so that you can marvel at how organized it is. 🤩

But the steps to accomplish said organized spices? Pull everythaaang out, make a mess, then put it all in the jars, get yourself a chalk marker to write down the name of the spices (don’t forget the expiry date) and store away. 😎👌🏽

Cranberry Orange Meatballs 🤤 - And guess what?

Cranberry Orange Meatballs 🤤 - And guess what? This dish is plant-based! 😲 Can you even tell?

Truth be told, meatballs are one of my favorite dishes to whip up for Thanksgiving! They’re super easy to make and are great to serve while hosting - Although Thanksgiving won’t be with a big group of family and friends this year, we still want to find ways to enjoy the holiday with good food and loved ones. Whether that be virtually or a small gathering, this dish is one that all can enjoy! A plant-based meatball using @beyondmeat Beyond Beef! I love how versatile Beyond Meat’s products are and how easy it is to swap with traditional meat-based dishes. They make cooking plant-based meals at home a breeze.

P.s. I need to make this disclaimer. Rolling the meatballs with Beyond Beef makes for the most PERFECTLY ROUND meatballs I have ever made. Period.

This plant-based ground also offers a complete source of protein with 18g per serving and 35% less saturated fat than regular ground beef. Plus it is made without GMOs, soy, gluten, cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones!. You can find Beyond Beef in the fresh meat case at major, natural health and independent retailers across Canada! Woot Woot! 🙌

I’m still not over these oysters and this shoot.

I’m still not over these oysters and this shoot. 🦪 But let me tell y’a, opening up these bad boys was an arm workout and a half. 🥵💪🏽 They look so pretty and taste good too - it was worth it. Have you ever shucked oysters before?
