ROASTED GARLIC SQUASH SOUP

Ahhh Fall…..how I love thee, let me count the ways! Looking at my Instagram the last few weeks I know I am not alone in this feeling. Fall just brings on such a cozy feeling and makes me want to fill my days with blankets, candles and steamy warm soups. Every since the temperature dropped in the slightest my fall vibes have been strong!

I have been craving soups daily and any time I enter a restaurant my eyes scan to the soup of the day selection. After eating a few sub par soups I knew I needed to correct situation. Enter this roasted garlic squash soup! It involves a mix of delicious roasted vegetables simmering together to make one amazing soup that I could eat for days.

HIBISCUS LAVENDER LEMON TEA

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend and if you still don’t have a gift idea then I have you covered! Mom’s do so much for us on the daily and they truly deserve to relax and enjoy the day….and MANY days throughout the year! One of my favourite ways to relax is to have a nice warm cup of tea and thankfully my husband is a tea brewing connoisseur. Whenever I dive into a hot steaming cup of tea my stress melts away and all I can think of is how relaxed I am in the moment. Add on a slice of chocolate cake and heaven!

CRAB SALAD

Easter is right around the corner and if you are still looking for food ideas I have the perfect fresh salad for you to serve at the dinner table! Holidays can be a stressful time especially when you are cooking for a whole group. I like to make my meal plan with a few dishes that be be prepared ahead of time and this is definitely one of them.

This time of year is also when I start to crave more lighter refreshing items after a long winter of warm roasted food. The fresh dill in this meal really brings out the flavour and pairs well with the crunch of the celery. So easy to put together I can guarantee this will be the least of your worries on Easter Weekend!

ST. PATRICK’S DAY POTS OF GOLD

It’s time for another green filled holiday and I have a treat for you! Although St.Patrick’s Day is usually associated with green beer and drinking I prefer to go the opposite route and search for leprechauns hiding their pots of gold (before you ask, no I haven’t started drinking the green beer just yet!). I am referring to wonderful pots of gold filled with chocolate – I mean you cannot go wrong with chocolate right?!
