2 minute chocolate mug brownies with your toddler's leftover halloween bars
These quick microwave brownie cakes may not be healthy, but they are definitely delicious. I highly recommend the Reese Peanut Butter cup version for the perfect late night snack:)
To balance out treats like these, I have been trying new recipes from Julie van Rosendaal's newest cookbook Spilling the Beans. If you have ever made her famous Breakfast Bean Cookies, you know that beans can find an unlikely home in many of your favourite dishes. I have tabbed many recipes to try over the next few weeks, including lots of baked goods, grainy salads and pastas.
I have all of her books and read
her blog faithfully. Love this local Calgary chef/author/radio personality. I have already made a few recipes....my favourite being the roasted beet salad (with wild rice, toasted pecans, goat's cheese & kale) which was the perfect lunch last week!
A few other things I love this week:
- Movember goods on Etsy. Is your husband growing a stache? I bought this necklace from Canadian shop
Buysomelove to support the teachers at school raising money for Movember. I'm a mo'sister :) You can see all my Movember favourites
here.
-
Posterjack large poster prints. Ours looks so good in our huge Odby frame from Ikea! Yay for great Canadian companies!
A few great reads around the web:
-
Suri's Burn Book. Funniest blog ever for those that read the celeb mags.
- A
refreshingly different take on Halloween candy consumption from one of my favourite blogs -
It's Not about Nutrition - are you planning next year's costumes and Halloween decor already. Take a peek at Pink Sugar Photography's amazing decorations and sweet Lila's costume
this year.
- If you are ready to start your Christmas shopping and DIY decorating, you have to check out
The Holiday Guide by Emily Henderson (thanks
Shannon for posting about this on Facebook!). It features the best of the best from your favourite bloggers and web-based businesses, and some great free printables too! I spotted an ad in there from my friend Lindsay of
