Let's Roll...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Super busy day today so up early to "Roll".

Took the SUV in to Sherwood Park Toyota for a fall tune up and winter tire for all season swap out.

My Bubble Friend picked me up so that I did not have to take the shuttle home.

We stopped for a London Fog and Chocolate Pretzel at Paramo Cafe.  We had a lovely visit out on the patio.

Next up was the Bone & Biscuit where we shopped leisurely and found a few thing that each of us "NEEDED" for our dogs.

Stopped in the for the grand opening of the new hair salon in the village.  

This afternoon I spent time in my kitchen.  

First off I used up one of the three bags of fresh applies I have been gifted.  One plastic grocery bag made 5 bags of apple pie filling.  One of which I used in a Strawberry Apple Crisp for dinner:

Tomorrow I will try and get through the other two grocery bags of apples that I still have.

After the apples I movd on to one of the three pumpkins I have.  As of this evening I have 22 cups of mashed pumpkin for baking and Lentil Pumpkin Chilli.  

The first pumpkin I used up was quite big and did not fit well in the oven whole.  As such I did cut it in half to bake.  That meant I needed to clean out the inside.  Did not want to waste the seeds so I roasted them in EVOOLUTION garlic oil and seasoned with Alpine Touch Seasoning:

 

These turned out really tasty.

Took doggie for a long walk this evening after dinner.  Was going to work on the binding of my quilt but apparently it has become a nest for the cat!!!  

Hope this inspires your own creativity and Wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Sunday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there😷

Labour Day...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I hope that y'all had a restful Labour Day and are ready for whatever tomorrow brings.  I really tried hard not to do any kind of labour today at all!

I took doggie out for a really looooooooong walk this morning.  Quite chill out there and no doubt that Winter is on its way😰❄

I took several pictures of the Autumn Blaze Maple in my front yard.  It is SOOOOOO beautiful right now.  I was supposed to get a different type of red maple, but the supplier was all out so I got this type (this is the one I really wanted).  🍁

Late this afternoon I baked a Rhubarb Cake with the Rhubarb I got at the St Albert Farmers' Market on Saturday.  I froze 8 bags with 2 cups in each bag and kept the last 2 cups for use in cake today:

For dinner I made kiddo Spinach/Mushroom/Green Onion/Zucchini/Red Pepper/Boursin stuffed chicken.  Served with baby potatoes and fresh green beans it was a HIT with him.

This evening I spent a bit of time with my knitting and even watched a little tele (not something I do regularly).  

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Tuesday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there.  😷

Eating...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

All that I seem to have done today is eat!  Seriously.  Made scrambled egg filled peppers this morning.  Scrambled eggs with a bit of cream and mixed in mushrooms, cheese, green onion and zucchini.  Poured the mixture in to cut in half peppers and baked.  SO YUM.  Served with toast and home made strawberry jam and a tall glass of milk.....I think all food groups are accounted for. 😼

Kiddo only had a half day of school today.  I called it the "dress rehearsal" as it was all about where and when to enter the school.  How to move from class to class and where the restrooms are located etc.  

While I waited to pick him up I stopped at Donut Party.  I LOVE their donuts.  They have awesome flavours and the donut is super light in texture.  Still pretty miffed that they refused to do drop off to my community during the pandemic, but alas they do make REALLY good donuts. 

Today I got; Birthday Cake, Rhubarb Fritter, French Toast, Banana (something), Mint, and a Salted Caramel Chocolate: 

Super Yummy as always.  We "may" have had these for lunch with a glass of milk 🤣🤣

It's Friday and I did not feel like making dinner so we went to C-Lovers Fish and Chips.  The portions were HUGE!!!  I honestly could not finish the first plate that they brought out for me.  Kiddo almost finished his but did have to leave a few fries.

Better take doggie out now for a really long walk now.....

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Saturday tomorrow.
