Thanksgiving for Us Canucks

Oct10

So, this past long weekend, was Canada’s Thanksgiving…the kick off of the holidays – as far as I’m concerned!! We had a wonderful dinner on Saturday with turkey and all the trimmings!! We got to spend the evening with my parents, filled with great food and great conversation. Hopefully all of you Canucks out there, had just as wonderful a Thanksgiving as we did!!

Tonight’s Menu…Sushi and Flavoured Beer!!

Oct7

We saw this pumpkin spice beer at the LCBO and had to try it. It was really good!! A slightly darker amber ale, with the yummy goodness of pumpkin and spice. A great accompaniment to any meal…especially for Fall 🙂

We also came across this Fruli Strawberry Beer, and decided to give it a try as well. And it doesn’t disappoint – with its fruity berry taste. This would be a great beer to have in the summer, perfectly chilled 🙂

We chased the beer down with some yummy sushi…salmon is my favourite…I could eat sushi anytime…omnomnom!!

Pumpkin and Butternut Squash…OH MY!!

Oct7

It’s fall, and that means pumpkins and squash everywhere!! So, I decided to make one of my favourites…Crock Pot Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Soup. The recipe is REALLY simple, but I added vegetables and a cup of rice to beef it up, yet it still retains it’s awesome pumpkin flavour. Serve it with a dollop…or two of sour cream, sprinkle some nutmeg on top (optional) and a really nummy crusty bread…omnomnom!!

Mmm…Krispy Kreme Coffee and Donut

Oct5

What better way is there, to start off the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, then with a coffee and a ‘Krispy Skreme’ donut!! The sad pumpkin donut you see, is filled with cream, and the other one is a Spice Cake donut. My hubby and I will be sharing each one…omnomnom!!
