Typically I am the girl who is sweating in 80-degree weather in her fall sweaters and boots, while everyone else is still rocking sundresses. This year is different, instead of rushing fall I have been hanging on to every last bit of summer that I can. At least that was the case until temperatures creeped into the 40’s and 50’s this week, which had me craving soup. When you work a normal 9-5 job, stopping at the grocery store and then heading home from work to put a pot of soup on the stove, waiting for it to cook just sounds exhausting. That’s why I was so excited to try the MealthyMultipot. This recipe is the quickest and easiest way to make homemade chicken noodle soup!

Restaurant Review: MATCH Eatery and Public House Dessert

  i was gifted the opportunity to try MATCH in exchange for an honest review.
Wouldn’t it be nice to leave the country to grab dessert? I thought so too, and my boyfriend agreed that’s why Saturday we left the United States to grab dessert in Point Edward, Ontario, Canada. One of the neat things about living in the Metro Detroit area is it takes the same amount of time for us to get to Detroit as it does to get to Canada. Even though Canada is close this was the first time I have ever crossed the Blue Water Bridge, and the first time I have ever visited Point Edward (Sarnia) – let alone just left the country for dessert!
We headed to MATCH Eatery &Public House which is attached to the Casino in Sarnia. The restaurant overlooks the St. Clair River, and gives you the opportunity to dine inside or outside. The outdoor patio is gorgeous, and features a bar area, fire pits and comfortable seating so you can grab a drink, enjoy dinner, dessert and more while you watch ships and freighters go by.

Now lets talk about our desserts.
Our waitress told us the Sticky Toffee was her absolute favorite, it sounded amazing so we went with it. We were definitely not let down. The combinations of flavors were perfect, and after seeing us with the dessert multiple tables around us ordered it as well.

We also tried the Blueberry Key-Lime Jar, which was on their seasonal menu (my boyfriend loves key lime and I do not, otherwise we would of shared dessert). Of course, even though I don’t like key lime I was curious to see how theirs tasted. First let me remind you I do not care for key lime AT ALL, and I absolutely LOVED this dessert. If you end up going to MATCH while it is still on the menu, I highly recommend giving it a try, trust me, you will not be disappointed at all.

Make sure you stay late enough to catch a gorgeous sunset, like we did. If you’re craving some good food and gorgeous views I highly recommend checking out MATCH Eatery & Public House– in fact you’ll probably see us there since it’s now one of our new favorite restaurants.

Fall Tradition: Apple Picking

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. From pumpkin patches, hayrides, pumpkin flavored everything, fall foliage drives, cider mills, I could go on and on. One activity that is always on my fall to-do list is apple picking with my mum, so on Saturday we headed to a local orchard and each picked a half-bushel of apples. What is your favorite fall activity?

There’s a crispness in the air, the leaves are beginning to change colors and temperatures are starting to dip down near freezing at night – fall has officially arrived. Fall tends to fly by quicker than summer, so in an effort to do all the things I would like to I always make a fall to-list. While my list in mainly made up of traditional favorites (apple picking with my mum), there are always new additions to my list. Here is what I have on my fall to-list this year… what’s on yours?

Fall To-Do List
Go apple picking at a local orchard
Take a fall foliage drive
Visit a cider mill (Yates is my favorite)
Carve pumpkins
Get lost in a corn maze
Bundle up by a beach bonfire
Bake an apple pie
Make homemade apple sauce
Go for a fall boat ride
Have a scary-movie date
Volunteer at a soup kitchen
Discover a new dark nail polish
Enjoy hot chocolate under the stars
Spend a weekend at a cabin in the woods
Take a hike
Donate to a local food bank
Snuggle by a fire
Get spooked at a haunted house
Experiment with bold lip colors
