Friday Oct 27th –
”Twas a town day once again and grocery buying, my job cleaning, curtain rod price comparing and toilet brush buying were the things most needed to be accomplished 😉
Oh the glamour of new home ownership purchases 😜
Pizza was brought home for supper aaand that was pretty much my day 💁🏻
Tuesday Oct 3rd –
If I don’t keep up with writing, I remember nothing 🤷🏻♀️
I know I worked out (trying to get back into after the trip to Az ruined me🙄) and Mike worked at the house, putting up some more trim and what not.
He checked the mail and the wedding photo albums for our mothers had arrived and they looked great, so we happily awaited ours, which would be slightly larger 💑👌🏻📚
Wednesday Oct 4th –
Michiel had work to do with the bush business and Mother was out and about, so I had the house to myself and things to accomplish. Continue reading “Little And Less”
Due to popularity on my Instagram stories and on our table, I give to you, Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash!
I used the recipe from thecleaneatingcouple.com as a base guideline, but I have changed a few things after making it for us a couple of times, so I’ll write that version out here.
Feeds four (with some leftovers, if everyone was only ‘just ready to eat’ and not ‘crazy hungry’ 😜)
Now, I know this picture doesn’t make it look THAT appealing but that is because it tastes good and I didn’t want to waste time trying to get a good picture, when I could spend that time getting it in my belly!
Ingredients:
1 large spaghetti squash
3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
1/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce*
1/2 cup greek yogurt or sour cream, whichever you have available Continue reading “Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash”
Now as far as a recipe post goes, this is ridiculously easy as it’s just the link to the recipe 😜
I would have posted it sooner but for some reason I couldn’t find it on Canadian Living’s site, but now I have and I urge you to go try it 😄

Personal Suggestions
For a healthy tweak, I would cut the required oil in half and instead of combining the pasta, sauce and cheese (we used Asiago) in one pot as suggested, just spoon the sauce over each portion.
We enjoyed it with the suggested shrimp and I also added in 1/4 cup of pine nuts into the sauce, and loved the extra crunch.
This seriously became a fast favourite and I have already made it at least 5 times in a couple months 😏👌🏻 🍝
Tuesday Sept 4th-
Morning brought with it an omelette (which I flipped, in the pan, without making a mess and using just a flick of the wrist 💁🏻) post workout and then much blogging, trying to get some recipes proof read by the mother, before I leave for a couple of weeks.
(She reads everything before I post it usually. Fixing confusing things and adding comas where my brain didn’t think to so I am sorry if these posts make less sense then normal 😜)
I’d went through my assortment of clothing a few days back, trying to let go of the few things that I’ve hung on too, in hopes of them eventually working out and then never using them anyways 😏
Moms turn to do the same thing, came that morning and I was her audience/judge.
Saying yes or no…or simply making the appropriate faces to show my emotion towards certain pieces, was enough of an answer 😋
Lunch was a tasty beef barely soup, one of my favourites 😄
Though I am not looking forward to winter at all… the fall comfort foods are calling 😬😋
The sis and littles came over for a visit and while we did that, Hubster and Mom gave me a pedi 😋👌🏻
(Mom did the scrubbing/rubbing and Mike did the french tip painting 🙈)
Mom did her best to do my fingernails but with bad lighting and her wearing glasses now… her best…had seen better days 😝🤓
The packing had to begin eventually, though I did push it back until the evening.
Bran Muffins Revised
So I really like bran muffins and I totally forgot that I did 😜
So when my sister-in-law sent some over and they were quickly eaten up, I decided to try to make a healthier version of the recipe we generally use.
They turned out nicely but they were not overly sweet by any means, which we personally, were ok with.
If you choose to add in the raisins, that would up the sweet factor, I just can’t withstand raisins in any kind of baking so I left them out 😬
I love having a muffin warmed up with a little smidgen of butter and a slice or two of marble cheese 🤤👌🏻
