Insert some witty caption about fall, apple pickin Insert some witty caption about fall, apple picking, pumpkin spice and halloween things. 🎃🍎😛 I’m just super proud of this shot! (Taken by my non-photographer husband with my iPhone - and lots of direction from me ofcourse!😝 - portrait mode ftw!). ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ What’s your plans this weekend?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ J and I have been spending our evenings eating our recently acquired apple bounty and watching some old school family friendly Halloween movies. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ So far we’ve seen:⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤 The Witches - the old one (I’m looking forward to watching the new one with Anne Hathaway!). It’s actually really scary for a children’s movie. But I love anything written by Roald Dhal!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤Hocus Pocus - I totally forgot SJP was in this. I believe it was before her sex and the city days!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤The Nightmare Before Christmas - classic Tim Burton. I had forgotten this one was a musical! ‘This is Halloween’ is a great song!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤ET the extraterrestrial - I’d actually never seen this one before! It was pretty good for its time. Love seeing the old school animatronic special effects. And there’s so many random nods to star wars in the movie!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ What other classic Halloween movies should we add to the list? ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #applepicking #applepickingseason #halloween #halloween2020 #fall #fallvibes #halloweenmovies #halloweenmovienight foodtography #stayhome #chudleighsfarm #torontofoodblogger #torontofoodblog #gtafoodies #canadianfoodblogger #foodphotographyandstyling
‘Tis the season to eat squash - aka these delica ‘Tis the season to eat squash - aka these delicata squash chips! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Have you tried delicata squash before? ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ It tastes like a standard squash to me- a little bit sweet, kinda like sweet potato. The good thing about the delicata squash is that it isn’t as hard to chop into as a butternut squash. And the skin is edible. So no need to peel!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Just slice, season and bake for these addictive (but healthy) delicata squash chips:⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ TRIM & SLICE a delicata squash into thin strips (don’t forget to scoop out the seeds!)⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ TOSS in avocado oil and this faux cheesy seasoning mix: ⁣ 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and 1/2 tsp chilli flakes. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ BAKE 425F for 15 mins. Flip. And bake another 5-10 till golden brown and crisp! 👌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ENJOY!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Full recipe is on the blog!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #TOHfoodie #healthyfood #realsimple #foodtographyschool #foodphotographer
Hi there 👋🏽. Here we are another Friday in q Hi there 👋🏽. Here we are another Friday in quarantine - so here’s 4 random fun facts you may not know about me:⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤 Im afraid of the dark. Always have been. I constantly annoy J by leaving the lights on everywhere I go!🙈⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤 I’m tone deaf. Small children tell me to just stop singing all the time! No joke. (But it sounds so good in my head!) 🤣 ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤 My first real job in high school was at Zellers as a cashier. Does anyone even remember Zellers? It was like a Canadian version of Walmart. I think my mom was more excited about that one ‘cause of the discount 😂⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🖤 Whenever I am in a stressful or intense situation I sweat profusely- But only from my face. It’s like this super sexy sweat mustache. Real fun in job interview / professional meeting type situations 😰 ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Your turn! - whats one surprising thing about you that I might not know?!👇🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #fridayfun #canadianblogger #foodphotographer #rueeats #foodphotography #foodphotography101 #foodphotographyblog #foodtographyschool #foodphotographyandstyling #foodphotographytips #eatclean #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #yyzfoodie #905 #greatertorontoarea #peelregion #torontofoodblog #mississaugalife #tdot #ssauga #6ix #dishedto
I miss travelling so much! 😫⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I miss travelling so much! 😫⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The other day we made this Moroccan mint tea and drank it in the tea set we bought in Morocco just to feel like we were doing something exotic😫. It’s as close as we can come to travelling right now. 😢⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Where would you go if you could travel right now? We had been thinking of travelling to Japan at the end of this year. Or maybe Costa Rica. Obviously neither are happening anytime soon. But maybe I can convince work to let me work from home in the Caribbean? 🤔 Would you work from a beach if you had the chance?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ —-⁣ This post is part of the @foodcapturecollective #monthlytechniquecollab for this months steam theme.

Happy 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving friends ♥️⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Hope everyone is having a safe thanksgiving this year. It was definitely a low key one for us. We spent the weekend exploring the fall colours😍. We visited a different park each day in search of the perfect colours. I’ve saved all the spots we explored on my stories under ‘adventures’ .⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Here’s a quick rundown of the spots we checked out - (save this post for next year!):⁣ 🍁Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, Mono- absolutely stunning. Worth a visit for sure, but also very busy. They don’t do anything to control the number of visitors, parking fills up all the way up the road, and there’s always a line up for the lookout point. Go early. And plan to be there a good two hours. Don’t miss the hidden lake😍⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🍁Balls Falls, Lincoln - an easy walk. The falls are non-existent this time of year but it was cool to be able to walk out onto the rocks. There’s also an old village you can explore. Great place to bring a picnic. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🍁Rattlesnake Point Provincial Park, Milton - a fave of mine. Loads of great views. They control the number of visitors and there’s a time limit for when you visit (you have to book online). ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I have to give an honourable mention to the airport road drive. Just head north on airport road and you don’t even have to get out of your car to see the gorgeousness of the season. 😍⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Did you catch a glimpse of any fall colours this weekend?⁣🍁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #canadianthanksgiving #happythanksgiving #thankful #greatful #mississaugafoodie #canadianblogger #yyzfoodie #905 #greatertorontoarea #peelregion #torontofoodblog #mississaugalife #tdot #ssauga #6ix #fall #autumncolours #fallvibes #autumnvibes #exploreontario #travelontario #ontariotravel #ontariotourism #ontarioforyou #staycation #travel #travelling #travelgram #instatravel
The crispy fried egg. 🍳⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Eggs are one of my favourite protein. While I try not to discriminate between the style of eggs. The crispy fried egg has a special place in my stomach. 😛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ J has now mastered the art of the crispy fried egg (he is responsible for weekday breakfast which almost always includes some form of eggs and toast). I had him share his crispy fried egg tricks in my stories the other day (saved in my highlights under ‘crispy egg’👀). But ICYMI here’s the coles notes:⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🍳Start with a hot pan. Non-stick, stainless steel cast iron- Anything will work. Just make sure it’s really hot before the eggs join the party!🔥⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🍳You need lots of oil. Not 1 or 2 tbsp oil. A lot of oil. It’s a fried egg. You want crispy. You need a pool of oil (we use avocado oil).⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🍳Don’t mess with the eggs while they cook. Let them develop that crispy crust undisturbed for a few minutes. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🍳Add seasoning to the eggs while they cook. Recently we have been adding a sprinkle of @spicetreeorganics za’atar spice mix to our eggs and we love it!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ And that’s the secret to a crispy fried egg!🙌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ What’s your favourite style of eggs?🥚🥚🥚⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ —- ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This post is part of the #anystyleofeggs collab hosted by @peaches2peaches and @anna_janecka check out the hashtag for more egg-spiration!🥚⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #eggs #eggsofinstagram #worldeggday #eggseggseggs #eggsforbreakfast #eggsanytime #getcracking #dinnerideas #quickmeals #easyrecipes #weeknightdinner #weeknightmeals #eatsharerepeat #foodblogfeed #foodblogger #mississaugaeats #mississaugablogger #torontoblogger #canadianblogger #torontofoodblog #cravethe6ix #toeats #foodbloggersca
If you haven’t got a fridge full of apples yet, If you haven’t got a fridge full of apples yet, did fall even happen?🍎🍏🍎⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ We’ve been trying to eat our way through the stash of apples from our apple picking adventures a few weeks ago. But since we’ve been seriously cutting back on sugar this month, I’ve had to get creative. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I made a faux apple pie - Which tasted great! I gave it crunch with some nuts, loaded it up with cinnamon and a sprinkle of raisins for sweetness. Baked the whole thing till the apples basically melted (swipe to see how that turned out👀). It’s basically a grain-free sugar-free apple crumble!🍎⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ But in the end nothing beats a classic apple pie. And I can’t wait for this thanksgiving long weekend - there may be a pie (or two in my future!😛) ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Proper apple pie recipe is on the blog. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Faux apple pie recipe is below (And in my reels). Either way, you get your apple fix!🍎⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Applesolutely delicious #whole30 sugar free apple crumble ‘dessert’😉⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 1-2 apples, diced⁣ Oil spray⁣ 1-2 tsp cinnamon⁣ 2-3 tbsp chopped nuts (walnut, cashew, almond)⁣ 5-6 raisins⁣ Mix all of the above and bake 425F (218C) for 25 mins. ⁣ Top with a few spoons of coconut cream (the creamy part on top of a can of coconut milk) 🙌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie⁣ #healthyfood #realsimple #foodtographyschool
Unpopular opinion: PSL is over rated. But turmer Unpopular opinion: PSL is over rated. But turmeric lattes. Now that I can get behind! And it’s perfect for this “do I have COVID or the flu” season of life we are in rn! 😛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I know so many of my south Asian friends will know this as the mandatory drink our moms made us drink whenever we felt sick as kids. Some even hate it for that reason. But I always loved it! It’s so darn delicious I want to drink it whether or not I’m feeling sick. Full recipe is on the blog. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ How to:⁣ ⭐️Boil 1 cup milk (dairy free works too) with 1 cup water, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/8 tsp ground cardamom, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp ginger powder, pinch black pepper, pinch salt, pinch nutmeg, pinch saffron, 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional).⁣ ⭐️Pour.⁣ ⭐️Drink.⁣ ⭐️And feel better!😁⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ——⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This post is part of the #goldenspicelove collab hosted by @handwritten.recipes and @mykalekitchen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie #healthyfood #realsimple

Literally. ♥️🌈⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Also Trump has COVID-19.
