What’s Been Happening?
My family and I were so grateful to be able to enjoy our Canadian Thanksgiving celebrations together last week. It was so lovely to have our son and his partner with us. I know so many people were unable to celebrate with their families this year and I definitely don’t take this blessing for granted!
If you are planning an upcoming Thanksgiving or Christmas meal, you may want to add this recipe to your repertoire:-
You will love this wonderfully Easy Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe, chock full of crisp celery, plump dried apricots and crunchy pecans.
I also shared some warming comfort food:-
My Cottage Pie with a Roasted Root Vegetable Topping is a nourishing and delicious twist on a traditional British favourite.
Thank you all for visiting and sharing your wonderful content!
Seasonal Inspiration Featured Posts
There’s lots of seasonal inspiration in this week’s featured posts (from top left, clockwise):-
I love this cute Crocket Pumpkin Placemat from T’onna at Sew Crafty Crochet. It would make a great addition to your fall decorations!
Looking for fall comfort food? Cindy at Mom, The Lunch Lady shared a Tex-Mex Sweet Potato Casserole that really fits the bill!
These Oatmeal and Honey Sugar Solid Sugar Scrubs from Jasmine at Eccentricities by JVC would be a treat for your skin and could make a lovely gift as well.
Seasoned butters are a wonderful way to add flavour to so many foods, and these Autumn Compound Butters from Jennifer at Satsuma Designs look absolutely delicious. I particularly want to try the Maple Cinnamon version!

Thank you, April for hosting such a lovely party each week. I’m glad you got to enjoy your holiday dinner with your son and his partner. 💜 We are still tring to figure out what our holiday dinner could look like this year. Nonetheless, I’ve pinned your scruptious looking stuffing in case we are able to host a socially-distanced dinner.
Happy Sunday!
