// Breakfast Fried Chicken

Oh yes! For breakfast (and later brunch too), and not just on Sundays. The simple overnight marinade does the 'harder' work so we can still sleep in... I really thought with our Labour Day holiday this month, our spicy barbecue chicken would reign supreme, but for some reason all the cravings of a flavourful salt & pepper fried chicken took over. Could it be those quiet, no-traffic, outdoor walks and stretches past a favourite fried chicken spot? Most likely. And perhaps, just perhaps, because of our earlier than expected chilly weather on September 1st. We're here for that too. #thosesaltydeepfriedcravings #beachescapes #glutenfree Easy recipe after the jump...

// Black Grape Sorbet

Seedless black grapes are my easy favourite as our vibrant summer fruits begin waning with fall now just around the corner. I often rinse and freeze them for simple snacking and our movie nights. And now this delicious and refreshing summer-fall sorbet has been brought to luxurious life: Black Grape Sorbetto. In praise of our lovely black grapes! 🍇

// Maple-Glazed Bacon Wrapped Chicken

This month in chicken... Warm and flavourful bites from our smaller indoor oven, baking away as we enjoy 'other lovelies' of life? A tender, juicy, and filling main that's ready in 45 minutes (or less) to your preference...

// Recent Reads, Laughs, and Little Pleasures...

And I'd add to that, kind communication with each other. It's amazing how a day can go from waking-up-fabulous, to 'unhinged', to absolutely wonderful!, and within hours, all because of gracious communication with each other, and our confidence with the behind-the-scenes. No apprehensions or anxieties necessary. We're thankful for those who have, and continue to be there. It's been a fully-loaded 2020 for most as we now reflect on the year that was, and begin looking ahead to 2021. Hands down, count ourselves truly blessed when in good health, have our go-to Brilliants, and are happily engaged in work we enjoy. Life is indeed a gift. More recent and loved reads, fun finds, and little gifted treats...

// Suzette By The Sea (cocktail)

Hello October! and happy Friday. So far, so good... 'Making the most of some fresh and fragrant leftover rosemary (derived from the Latin words, "ros" (meaning "dew"), and "marinus" (meaning "sea") — "dew of the sea".), for the win. Where my favourite wildchild drink meets the salty mist of the sea. No regrets, absolutely none. Have a fun weekend. :)  ~xx
