Hey Foodie Friends, it’s time to upgrade your ki Hey Foodie Friends, it’s time to upgrade your kitchenware! 🍳 I recently tried the @hexclad pans and they are next level! (Also backed by Gordon Ramsay so you know they have to be good. Let me show you how to pre-season your pan. You will need to wash with warm water and soap. Rinse clean and dry with a towel. Heat the pan to medium-low heat and spread some vegetable oil over the interior. Leave on for 1-2 minutes and then you are ready to cook. @Hexclad kitchenware products are extremely durable, with hybrid technology and non-toxic! They are also dishwasher friendly and super easy to clean Click the link below to get your hexclad kitchenware today! https://hexclad.ca/collections/sets #hexclad #seasoning #kitchenware #ad #Kitchenmusthaves #incanada #partnership
The most comforting Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie The most comforting Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie you’ve ever had! 🍠 This savoury warm and hearty comfort food is exactly what I crave after a long day at work. The best news is that it is actually really easy to make. It’s also dairy free & gluten free! This truly is a dish that you will make over and over again for your family! Most of the ingredients I bet you already have. But good news is that you can always make adjustments depending on what you have in your fridge. I like mixing it up with lean ground beef or turkey,(depending if I want a leaner pie) carrots, celery, onions, red peppers, mushrooms, and tomato paste or sauce. Seasoning include: garlic, chili powder, rosemary, and paprika. You can always make this dish ahead of time and store in your freezer. Having a pre-made meal ready for a quick and cozy evening at home. I like making them in these little ramekins and cooked in the air fryer to get that crispy sweet potato topping!

I just got a box full of pet surprises from @homes I just got a box full of pet surprises from @homesalivepets and my dog's reaction is priceless. 🐶 For my senior dog, it’s important for me to source products that are beneficial to her health and wellness and allow her to thrive. I love these @Vetdietca biscuits for hip and joint mobility to keep her moving and Vital Essentials freeze dried bully sticks for those who can’t have hard chews anymore. She may be going on 12 years old but she will always be a puppy in my eyes. I love that these products are 100% Canadian and delivered straight to my home. You can shop for these products and many more at www.homesalive.ca. #homesalivepets #vetdiet #seniordog #ad #partnership
