The end of October already, time sure goes by quickly. It was below zero last night and very chilly today, but the sun was out and turned out to be a beautiful day. I woke up early this morning and decided to make Holiday Left-Over Sweet Potato Cake, a recipe I found on Allrecipes. You can use your left-over sweet potato from the holidays. The cake is very moist and goes great with a fresh brewed cup of java. I micro-waved a large sweet potato for 7 minutes, it came out perfect, the skin peeled away easily. I used 1-2/3 cups of sugar and substituted half the amount of sugar with Splenda. I used cut the oil to 2/3 of a cup. I didn't have beer so I substitued chicken broth, sounds weird but it worked.

Last weekend was beautiful sunny and warm, this weekend it's the opposite. Cooler temperatures and rain lots and lots of rain in the forecast. I'm thinking maybe they got it wrong as I see some blue skies in the distance.

The week went by quickly, probably the weekend will fly by as well. Nothing special planned. I have blueberries in the freezer so I will try this recipe Blueberry Apple that I found on Allrecipes.com

Wow over a month since I posted, time flies!

It's our Canadian Thanksgiving. Didn't cook a Turkey, I've been fighting a cold for the past five days. I was going to go an aerobics class but fell asleep and missed the class. Guess I needed to rest a bit, feeling a better now, just in time to go back to work tomorrow. When I woke up I made an Apple Crisp, yummy.

We have had beautiful weather the last three days sunny and warm, 26C today. If only it could stay this nice for a few more months.
