Happy November! Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Link Party!
We have returned from our holiday in Canada very grateful for a good break, a chance to catch up with family and friends and make some wonderful memories. I shared a bit of our trip on social media, including a mini road trip along the shores of Lake Huron on Instagram. I will be sharing more on the website soon. I have a lot of catching up to do on travel articles for the website this year, and I’m excited to share them with you when they are finally ready!
The Hearth and Soul Link Party welcomes family-friendly blog posts about anything that feeds the soul. Things that feed the soul may include (but are not limited to) recipes, decorating, crafts, family, home, DIY, organization, travel, book reviews, the arts, and self improvement.
The Latest
It’s feeling distinctly autumnal here in the UK with quite a few cool, grey days. It makes us extra grateful for the sunshine when it does appear! We’re embracing the season on the website with some delicious comfort food, and a bit of a look ahead too.
I’m all about warming breakfasts this time of year, and this Pear Walnut and Ginger Oatmeal Porridge is one of my favourites! I have also added a delicious new apple variation to the post – my husband says it tastes like apple pie!
My Easy Pumpkin Cake recipe is a great snack to keep on hand. It tastes delicious frosted or plain!
Looking for a deliciously different stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving?
Try my Apricot Celery and Pecan Thanksgiving Stuffing. I make it for Christmas as well!
And speaking of Christmas…
I know some folks wait until after Thanksgiving, but if you are getting ahead for Christmas as I am, you will find lots of inspiration in my Christmas Recipes and Ideas post.

Happy November April! With another successful Halloween on the books, it now becomes my favorite time of year, Thanksgiving. But not just our dinner later in the month, for me November is a month of thankful thoughts, one shared each day. I think this is year eight in my Thankful November tradition. Have a great week ahead, take care.
What a lovely tradition, Melynda! Thank you for sharing it! I hope you have a wonderful week and a really lovely Thanksgiving too.

Thank you for hosting, April! I’m struggling with an arthritis flare up this week, so my time in the kitchen has been curtailed. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been up to.
Hi Leslie, I’m so sorry to hear your arthritis has flared up! I hope you are feeling much better very soon.
Glad you enjoyed your Canada trip. My husband grew up in Michigan, so we have done some lakeside drives, only on the other side! 🙂 Thank you for hosting this fun link party. I’ve left 3 links this week and am off to see what others have shared. Happy November!
I travelled to Michigan a few times when I was a kid and I remember the lakeside drives were beautiful too. We are lucky to share the Great Lakes! Happy November!
Thanks, April, for hosting. Happy November to you, enjoy it
