Halloween Energy Bites With Candy Eyeballs On The Reducetarian Website

 

Halloween is looking a little different this year for many people. I feel for the little ones who aren't able to go out trick or treating (and the adults who can't kick back at a Halloween costume party). Fortunately we - young and old - can still indulge in delicious treats and have a good time with the people in our bubbles. 

These Halloween Energy Bites With Candy Eyeballs are not only delicious, they're also a great source of energy for kids and adults alike - whether you are heading out to trick or treat or simply popping a snack into a container for a mid-morning break at work. Head over to Reducetarian.org to get my recipe.

How to get your guest room ready for the holidays, plus a Logan & Cove mattress review


I feel confident I'm not alone in thinking that this is a good time to look ahead to the holiday season. The year 2020 has been disappointing to say the least, and we all need some reasons to be hopeful. One of those reasons is Christmas. It's such a beautiful, magical time to spend with family and friends, to snuggle in next to a blazing fire (eating a pile of snowflake-bedazzled sugar cookies) while the snow falls outside. 

Whatever holiday or holidays you plan to celebrate, let's hope by then it's safe and lawful to have guests in your area of the world. Fingers crossed, with careful wearing of facial coverings and physical distancing, we will see COVID-19 cases drastically decline. (Even if we get the all-clear, we're going to be trading hugs and kisses for elbow bumps this Christmas! It's a small price to pay.)

I figure we can take advantage of increased time at home right now to prep our houses for the holidays. It's not too early, especially if your guest bedroom is currently a receptacle for old school papers, outgrown clothing, unhung pictures and assorted other items that don't have dedicated spots in your home. (I speak from experience.)

Easy Vegan Pear Cake Recipe

Easy Vegan Pear Cake Recipe

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are authentic and my own. Thank you for supporting the awesome companies that partner with Woman in Real Life.*

One person's overripe pear is another person's perfect snacking pear. Fortunately, this easy vegan pear cake recipe can be made with a slightly firm pear or a soft or more ripe pear. So, if you prefer to snack on firm pears but have a few pears in your kitchen that you consider overripe, give them new life with this delicious, quick vegan pear cake recipe. 

For this recipe, I used California Bartlett Pears, as I did last week with my recipes for Pear Juice, 3 Delicious Ways. California Pears are in stores now, for just a few weeks in summer. To enjoy the ripeness you prefer, buy greener Bartletts to ripen at home. As they ripen and become more sweet and juicy, they will turn a golden yellow colour.

Pear Juice 3 Delicious Ways

Pear Juice 3 Ways
*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are authentic and my own. Thank you for supporting the awesome companies that partner with Woman in Real Life.*

Summer brings an abundance of healthy, delicious fruit, including pears. Recently, I've been juicing pears to make incredible, homemade, tasty pear juice. I often combine pear juices with ginger, cinnamon and other juices. I'm sharing three simple and delicious pear juice recipes with you today. Of course, there are endless other combinations you can make when juicing pears. Try these juice recipes with pears and hopefully be inspired to create your own lovely combinations!

Right now I'm taking advantage of the availability of California Bartlett Pears, which arrive in our stores mid-summer for a short time, several weeks before Canadian pears. California Pears contain antioxidants, and are a good source of fibre, and a source of Vitamin C, potassium and folic acid. When juicing pears, you do lose some of the fibre, but you still get antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Vegan Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes On The Reducetarian Website

 Vegan Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

Dairy-free cheesecake doesn't just exist - it's also delicious! Although the trend is cashew-based vegan cheesecakes now, I have been making tofu cheesecakes for the past two decades. Both options are great - see my gluten-free, raw, vegan mini kiwi cheesecakes for a cashew-based option.

I have partnered once again with the Reducetarian Foundation to bring you a new vegan cheesecake recipe - mini raspberry cheesecakes made with medium-firm tofu. Find the recipe among all of the tempting plant-based recipes on the Reducetarian Foundation website.
