Canadian lifestyle blog
Fall technically isn’t over yet, but since I live in Canada… it’s totally over. And I’m really bummed about it.
Okay, okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here but honestly it feels like we barely even had fall this year, it was still hot for half of September and now it’s nearly the end of October and it started to get colder, darker earlier and I can just feel winter coming and I’m not ready for it. Especially considering that it is supposed to be a brutal one.
Fall is my favourite time of year for a number of reasons: the weather, the colours, the clothes, and the food. Oh, the food! What is it about fall foods that makes it so comforting? Apple cider, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, my mom’s homemade apple sauce (speaking of which, mom if you’re reading this I wouldn’t be opposed to some appearing in the fridge!) and roasted squash.. it all just makes me feel so cozy. Right now, its apple season, so I thought that I would celebrate by sharing this delicious fall treat – stuffed baked apples.
Every fall we go to our favourite local farmer’s market, Pingle’s Farm to get all of our seasonal fruits and veggies for Thanksgiving and baking. If you’re local, they also have the most amazing fudge, a pumpkin patch, corn maze and pick your own seasonal fruit/veggies. If pick your own isn’t your thing, they also sell their produce in their market.
With fall just around the corner I decided to get a little festive and make some pumpkin ice cream! It’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with pumpkin everything. PSL’s are my jam.
I can’t be the only one that loves pumpkin everything, right?!
I’m not too sure where my love for pumpkin started to be honest… maybe it’s just because I love fall so much! I’m a big baby when it comes to extreme weather; I don’t do well in heat or cold (I’m the worst at being Canadian). I really wish the season was a bit longer here. The air just smells so crisp, the colours (and fashion) are amazing and then there is that whole obsession with pumpkins that I mentioned above.
I remember growing up we always had one of two things for Christmas breakfast. Cinnabon and raisin toast. Udi’s makes raisin bagels that I really like so I haven’t missed out on that since going gluten free. They recently came out with a cinnamon roll as well, but it isn’t really much like Cinnabon’s although it works in a pinch if you’re too lazy to bake.
