Lets call it Lunch

While I've got about a million things on my to-do list to get my house feeling like its 'holiday ready', I'm hungry... And so far today, I've done pretty good with good food choices (fruit and cottage cheese smoothie- which tastes way better than it sounds btw, oatmeal sweetened with a tsp of honey and cinnamon, *two... Fine, I'll be honest.. three girl guide cookies- which will not get me down..)... So that leads me to cleaning out my fridge to see what kind of leftovers I still have to make something that's going to taste great and not leave my stomach growling! ... And this is what I came up with!! Rice bowl with two fried eggs, fried leftover (now shaved) steak, topped with sautéed baby spinach! 

Key ingredients were: fresh lime (like three total) salt, pepper(lotsa pepper), and 'Guacamoltea Mix' (by 'Steeped Tea) -in the pan when frying up the rice and the steak, which I fried up separate.
 After everything was ready and the pan was still hot, I threw in a generous handful of baby spinach and tossed it till it was just softening. Pile it all up as its ready, I ordered it 1. Eggs, 2 rice, 3. Steak, and 4. Spinach 😀 Best part is that my tummy feels full and it tasted so good that I'm not craving all the deliciously terrible choices I was tempted to make (ie. Poutine with shaved steak...) Ha! Take that cravings!

Little Things

Little Things
...As if I took this pic in mid-November... Not to mention that it was t-shirt weather today! If it's up to me, I'll gladly take an order of whatever kind of weather this is for the rest of the year! 
I pulled over to quickly capture the beautiful GREEN farmland that highlights the beauty that southwestern Ontario shows off so well. 

On a day off, a short drive in the country was welcomed to drop off a 'wee' gift to hitch a ride with Phil's Aunt up to the great North, for one of my sweet nieces. 

No particular occasion at a time, I have been making blankets for each of my wonderful 9, soon to be 10 nieces and nephews. So far if I'm keeping track right, I've got 5/(almost)10 complete! 

Each of them are unique from the others, and like pretty much everything I make, I follow a pattern I more or less make as I go. 

Here is the latest craft of coziness ready to be sent off to our sweet Miss Katie��
And because a gift just isn't quite the same without a card...
