Mmm…Krispy Kreme Coffee and Donut

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!!

Tonight’s Dinner Menu…

My hubby and I, finished off the last of the Easy Vegetarian Cream of Tomato Soup I made, in my crockpot. I serve it with crusty bread, like above, shredded mozzarella cheese and hot sauce for a bit of a kick 🙂

Tomato Chickpea Soup

And for dessert, I cut up nectarines, pears, and added blueberries, with a sprinkling of cinnamon and whipped cream…omnomnom!! 🙂

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte From Second Cup

Mmm…yummy pumpkin deliciousness 🙂 The barista made it perfectly, with just enough flavouring to not make it sickeningly sweet. I added some cinnamon to finish it off!! Ok…maybe a lot of cinnamon, but I love the stuff, so it didn’t matter to me 😉

Turkey Pizza Bagel Melt

So, I was thinking, I haven’t had a pizza bagel in AGES. Remember those? Now, I’m not talking about the store bought frozen kind. I’m talking about the homemade kind. Whether you made it as a teen, or your Mom or someone else made it for you, it brought back a bit of nostalgia for me 🙂

I took an Everything bagel (any bagel of your choosing), spicy pizza sauce, real turkey breast (any meat or veggies or both of your choosing) and Kraft 4-Cheese Italiano blend (or any melty cheese of your choosing). Now, the best way to make this, is in the oven – hands down. But, if you don’t want to bother with the oven, I’d suggest toasting the bagel first before putting it into the microwave for melting. Of course you’ll get a crisper result in the oven, but if you don’t have the time, the microwave melts just as well minus the crisp bagel. Either way, it’ll be ooey gooey delicious!!

The Nutty Chocolatier, Huntsville Ontario

While we were away, we stopped into a chocolate shop, on Huntsville’s historic Main Street. It was aptly called The Nutty Chocolatier. Like the location in Port Perry, there was an antique chocolate display, and jars upon jars of candies from our childhood.

But, I’m a chocolate gal, so we only bought a couple of their in-house made truffles. We decided on a square dark mint chocolate, a plain dark chocolate and a maple white chocolate truffle. The plain dark chocolate was good, but a tad chalky, for me. The dark mint chocolate was a perfect combo of mint and chocolate – can’t go wrong with that. I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate, but the white maple chocolate worked really well together.

There are a few Nutty Chocolatier locations sprinkled around Ontario. If you’re ever in Guelph, Huntsville, North Bay, Peterborough, Port Perry or in the Beaches area of Toronto – take time out to step inside, for some nostalgia and nummy chocolate. They are a bit pricier then most places, but it’s not like you’re going to buy the whole shop either…maybe 😉

Pumpkin Spice Malt Balls

So, my hubby and I were at a Bulk Barn (bulk food store, here in Canada), and they had their plethora of Fall and Halloween candy out. As we were perusing the bins, we came across these pumpkin spice malt balls!! Now…we love malt balls, and usually get some during the holiday season, but pumpkin spice? We had never noticed these before. So, we bought a small amount to try out, and they’re nummy!! They’re a combination of the classic malt ball flavour with pumpkin pie – can’t go wrong with that. If you have a Bulk Barn near you, and you have a chance, I’d recommend you trying these out – they’re pretty omnomnom-worthy!!
