Mind blown, but next week marks midterms…already!? Pretty sure I just started classes, right? No? I guess not! I only have one real midterm, obviously my internship doesn’t have one and my other class doesn’t, so no stress, but wow! (That Fall term really is shorter than the Spring!) The Graduation finish line is inching closer and closer!

Other notes, I “may” be going to the Gluten-Free Allergy-Friendly Expo in Jersey this weekend, not sure. But if you attend, let me know via Instagram and say hi (don’t be shy)! Besides that, here’s what you came for!

You know those times when you have SO many ideas, too many ideas, and then you go into idea-paralysis and act on none of them? Totally me. I’m not sure where to focus first, what to do and implement first, what will be the best ROI right now. Trying to just keep doing what I know and keeping the excuse of school as my reason for not taking action on other things. So that gives me until basically the new year to really get my thoughts and ideas together. Hm….things to come…

Short(er) Finisher this week, but still enough to get your dose of browsing! Enjoy!

How is it October already? Crazy! I’m pretty sure if I blink it will be Christmas! But you what it means when we get to the end of October/early November….HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIES! Ugh! My favorite thing of the season! The only time I don’t watch the news 24/7 and opt for ALL Christmas cheesiness ALL the time when I have the TV on! Those moves will never fail to put you in a good mood (even after watching them 1000s of times and being able to recite the lines by memory!)

But I’m getting ahead of myself! We just broke into the Fall season and that means I need to plan on some apple/pumpkin picking! We went apple picking last year, kind of a let down…maybe we’ll go pumpkin picking instead…or both.

Raise your hand if you’re NOT ready for the official start of Fall this weekend! Anyone? My hand is held high. Sure, sweaters, apples, and pumpkin spice are nice, but I’ll take those things with a side of summer weather. The thought of not being able to just hop out the door without a jacket, makes me cry. I don’t do well in cold weather and Fall is just that start of that cold weather (cringing at the thought of January and February!) Northeast weather is not so friendly (I’ve got to move south, way south!)

I think I’ll be safe for a few more weeks, but who really knows with the CRAZY weather we’ve had this year! Weather update out of the way, let’s cozy up with a mug of hot chocolate and get to these links!

Zero peeks of sunshine this week which put any time for shooting recipes on hold (so behind now!). It also led to a week of feeling even more tired! Gloomy days where the sky is actually grey always slow me down and make me want to take a nap. I never actually nap though, I feel guilty if I do! Do you feel guilty about napping? I know I shouldn’t and taking a nap would probably be the best thing instead of staring at a blank page or mindlessly scrolling on social media because I just can’t focus on an important task!

Fingers crossed for some emergence of sun this weekend (which is in the forecast thankfully!) This is the last full weekend of Summer before we have to accept that Fall is really here. Ugh! Not ready, not ready!

Instagram post 2169912447125673010_462853852 Thanksgiving debate number 2! Side Dish or Dessert? 🤔 Where does the CLASSIC marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole reside? 🤷‍♀️ * It's always been a "sweet" side dish in our family, definitely NOT a dessert! Boy have I MISSED this controversial dish due to the "all vegan marshmallows contain soy, and all soy-free marshmallows aren't vegan".

I know some people top it with nuts and brown sugar, but that gets a thumbs down from me. It MUST be marshmallow-topped (or in this case...homemade marshmallow fluff topped!) 😂😎 * Click the link in my bio @rebeccagf666 for the full recipe on the blog! 👆👆 https://strengthandsunshine.com/vegan-sweet-potato-casserole-marshmallow/ * #sweetpotatocasserole #sweetpotatoes #marshmallowfluff #aquafaba #thanksgivingrecipes #thanksgivingdinner #holidaybaking #glutenfree #vegan #dairyfree #eggfree #soyfree #nutfree #top8free #allergyfree #celiac #foodallergies #thefeedfeed #thebakefeed #glutenfreelife #foodallergymom #kidapproved #veganbaking #vegandessert #glutenfreedessert #glutenfreefood #glutenfreeliving #celiacdisease #healthybaking #nosugaradded
Instagram post 2164819317391112965_462853852 It's STUFFING Season! 🙌 Or...do you call it Dressing? 🤔 DEBATE! What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? 🤷‍♀️ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). 😝 My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast. In the South, they tend to call it "dressing". They also tend to make it with...CORNBREAD! 🤩 * I ALWAYS make my famous "traditional" stuffing recipe (on the blog), but a cornbread stuffing sounded delicious to try this year! What's your favorite way to make stuffing/dressing? 🧐 Southern Gluten-Free Cornbread Stuffing (Vegan, Allergy-Free)! 😋👌🍞🍽 * This Corny Comfort Food is:👇 Gluten-Free ❤️ Allergy-Free 🧡 Vegan 💛 Sugar-Free + Oil-Free 💚 Picky-Eater Approved (even if they don't like traditional stuffing!) 💙 Great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or ANY weeknight 💜 10 Simple Ingredients 💖 Uses my Homemade Gluten-Free Cornbread 💗 Makes You Feel Warm, Cozy, and Full or Southern Comfort 💝 * So Team Stuffing or Team Dressing!? 🤔 Click the link in my bio @rebeccagf666 for the full recipe on the blog! 👆👆 https://strengthandsunshine.com/gluten-free-cornbread-stuffing-vegan/ * #cornbreadstuffing #cornbreaddressing #cornbread #stuffing #glutenfree #vegan #dairyfree #eggfree #soyfree #nutfree #top8free #allergyfree #celiac #foodallergies #thefeedfeed #thanksgivingfood #southernfood #glutenfreelife #foodallergymom #kidapproved #thanksgivingdinner #sidedishes #glutenfreebread #glutenfreefood #fallrecipes #glutenfreeliving #celiacdisease #goodmoodfood #easymeals #nosugaradded
