When you want nachos but also want to be eat your veg, look no further than these cheesy cauliflower nachos! Nachos are my favourite food, so I am always excited to eat nachos, in their infinite variety. This version is everything you love about nachos, but instead of on deep fried corn chips, they are on cauliflower. Look at you, so healthy, eating nachos!
Have you ever had scuffles?! They are a wonderfully delightful Ukrainian treat, halfway between a cookie and a cinnamon bun, and entirely delicious. This feels like a good weekend to bake some, don’t you think? Find a great recipe here.
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I know a lot of people that are either giving up drinking alcohol, or taking a break from it, or seeing how it feels to drink less. And yay for people thinking about their health! It has be spending more time looking for fun non-alcoholic drinks that feel like something special for when you gather when friends who aren’t drinking – or if you don’t drink! This non-alcoholic mojito recipe is a good one. Very refreshing!
These lavender sugar scrub cubes are a great treat for your winter skin, if you ask me. My skin has been so dry and flaky lately, and these smell amazing and are easy to make, once you’ve gathered your ingredients. Would be a nice little gift for friends and family, too! Find the how-to here.
I love how gorgeous these pretty paper bag flowers look! The dollar store ofen has colourful paper bags that would be ideal for making these. If you are thinking about a spring birthday, these might be just the thing to make it especially festive! Find the full DIY here.
I hope you have a relaxing weekend, but also do whatever you can to help contribute positivity and good to the world. I’ve spent the week feeling sad about the war in Ukraine, and the sudden changing of covid protocols here in Ontario that feel about a month too soon. Let’s try to do our best to be generous with our kindness, because no doubt we are all navigating these times differently, and it’s hard to be our best selves all the time. But being kind, that feels a little more achievable.
