Hello September! 2021

I can’t believe it’s September. How are you my friends? I hope you are taking good care of your selves and are keeping safe and healthy. As for me I’m healing nicely and I’m continuing my cancer Journey with a positive mindset. It is truly hard some days. But I’m staying positive.

Last weekend we went to Port Perry and had fish and chips and I bought a book from the local book shop. It was lovely to get out and forget about my worries!

It’s that time of the year when I start planning October posts. Fall is my favourite time of the year. Autumn makes me happy. Books make me happy. Food makes me happy. I love all the colours that change in Autumn. I love cooler weather and the delicious autumnal foods. Do you have a bucket list? What are your favourite Fall things to do and see? Here is my bucket lists from previous years. I hope you try some of these out.

I will probably try to do a couple of blog posts but I don’t have time to do one for every day in October. I wish I could. 🎃 🍁

Health: I am doing well my friends. I’m continuing my radiation. I have 16 more to do. I am also continuing Herceptin. I’m feeling good and I just have a few aches and pains but I’m healing nicely. Radiation side effects don’t show up until two weeks later so I’ll keep you posted. I’m vlogging my radiation journey on my YouTube channel. If you like please subscribe. My hair is growing back but very very slowly.

THANK YOU

I will start off by saying thank you to Ulysses Press for the following two cookbooks: “The Un official hocus-pocus cookbook” by Bridget Thoreson and “The Unofficial Hogwarts cookbook for kids” by Alana Al-Hatlani. I am a huge fan of Hocus Pocus and Harry Potter so these two cookbooks are amazing!!! SuPeR FuN!

They have amazing Fall recipes in both cookbooks and I look forward to trying a few of them out. I will definitely share them with you when I make them. Some include pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, hot chocolate and more.

Best Day To Cook: Food Everyday From the Kitchens Of Martha Stewart Living PART 3

September is going by so fast! I can’t believe how quick things are moving. I’ve been cooking a lot lately. My family is enjoying the food so much. It is great to cook from my recipe books because the recipes are easy, simple and delicious. Today’s book feature is *Food Everyday From the Kitchens of Martha Steward Living.

I love this cook book because the ingredients are simple and easy. The recipes in this cook book include chicken, beef, pork and fish. The book also has recipes for side dishes. The cookbook separates recipes in 4 seasons. All the recipes are easy to follow with simple ingredients. Easy, fast, flavourful and delicious!

Here are the recipes that I made from this cook book:

Greek Salad with Seasoned Flatbread Pg. 28

I love salads do you? This recipe is a family favourite. A lovely refreshing salad and so easy to toss together. I can eat this everyday.

Cashew Chicken on Pg. 40

I’m a huge cashew chicken lover. I love this recipe. So easy and simple to make. Very delicious!

Creamy Broccoli Soup Pg.189

I have a hard time with a lot of cream based soups but this creamy broccoli doesn’t have cream and it was silky and delicious without the cream. So good for me and delicious!

I really love how simple the recipes are from this cook book. I also love the big photos. For me personally a cook book needs to have the photo or the finished product or else I can’t make it. Maybe that will be a later challenge in this series. lol 😂 This cook book is easy, fast and delicious! I highly recommend this cook book and give it a 5/5 stars!

Best Day To Cook: Easy Delicious Food At Home Part 1

I have a lot of lovely cook books in my collection and I’ve only tried a few recipes from them. It’s so funny but I love reading and looking at the pictures but never actually make any of them. It takes time to shop the ingredients and cook food that you hope your whole family will love. But I really want to make a change and I want to introduce more flavours and ingredients to my family. I want to explore more flavours and textures. I look forward to sharing my cook book journey with you. I hope you enjoy my post and future posts and I hope to inspire you to start cooking easy, delicious recipes at home.

I will start with my newest purchase. I was watching the Netflix series “Down to Earth” and in one of the episodes a lovely chef was featured. Her name is Ella Woodward and she is the writer for * Deliciously Ella . I tried a lot of her recipes and I absolutely love this cook book. Easy to follow recipes with simple ingredients that are so good for you. I’m not a Vegan but I do love eating healthy and I’m really enjoying this book. I feel that everyone can enjoy this book and not just Vegans.

The recipes that I made are as follows:

Pan Fried balsamic tomatoes Pg. 30

Chunky Italian Soup Pg. 141

Nut Butter chocolate chip cookies Pg.

Crunchy Mexican Salad Pg. 125

the Dressing & Dip from the Crunchy Mexican Salad is a huge success at our home. Pg. 125

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Pg. 206

Tahini Cookies Pg. 194

The chocolate chip banana bread is absolutely moist and delicious. I love it so much and it’s so simple and easy to make. It tastes wonderful and I will be using this recipe for my banana bread from now on. My family loves it.

These cookies didn’t last long at all. Delicious!

I love the dressing of course and so did the family. The church to this salad is lovely and the dressing is perfection.

If you haven’t pan fried tomatoes with onions with balsamic vinegar you need to try this. It’s absolutely delicious! My mouth waters every time I think about this recipe.

The first cookies to finish in a matter of seconds!

Dressing & Dip from the “Crunchy Mexican Salad” recipe on pg. 125

The famous dip that my family asks for every other day is from the “Crunchy Mexican Salad” dressing/dip on Pg. 125. My husband and children do not like cilantro and there is a handful of it in this recipe and they love it! My husband also doesn’t like creamy consistency and creamy recipes but he LOVES this dip/dressing. A favourite!

Overall I love this * cook book and I will be making all the recipes. I’ve never been this excited for a cook book. I will continue sharing more recipes and cook books from my collection with you. I am very exited! Thank you so much for reading my blog post. Have a lovely day!

*Referral Link. I added a link to the book. If you purchase the book I make commission from Reward Style.

I give this book a 5/5 on my cook book list.
