Hey friends! Today I’m sharing something close to my heart, my 2020 goals! Yep, we’re talking annual goals. Why am I sharing this? Because I’ve never set concrete goals in my life. Of course like everyone else I’ve created goals in my brain. I held those close to the vest, kept them to myself, and shockingly didn’t achieve them. So this year I used PowerSheets, I did the prep work, I figured out my why and I wrote down my goals. Now I’m sharing them with you because accountability is key!

I got the idea to share my goals and update all of you on my progress from the lovely Emily from Em for Marvelous! I love her goal updates and am excited to share the same with all of you.

2020 Goal Setting Tools

This year I’m setting 7 goals and I’m very excited to see how much progress I can make this year. I think these goals really speak to the beginning of this new decade.

2020 Goals:

  • Improve my physical and emotional health. For me this means create and stick to a workout routine that works in this season of life, meal prep every Sunday. Limit treats/junk food and watch portion sizes. Drink half my weight in ounces of water. Get outside for walks and hikes. Learn to meditate, read more and practice 1 hour of self care per week.
  • Cultivate new and old friendships. Reach out to friends once per week. Host couples and girls nights regularly. Be open to developing friendships with the new people that come into my life.
  • Create a sustainable blog schedule that excites me! Now I can’t share too much about this because I want to keep some of my ideas a surprise. But I will share that I am committing to 1 blog post per week and becoming more engaged with all of you on social media.
  • Spend money intentionally. My husband and I are good with money. Money can be such a hard thing for couples, so it was really important to us to create a financial foundation early in our relationship. Why this is still a goal is because we have a few big financial outlays planned for 2020. I’m so excited for these things, but it’s going to take discipline.

  • Create a tidy and welcoming home. I love our new home and now that we’re settled in I want to make it true to us. I plan to finish decorating two rooms in our house. And create some cleaning routines. Keeping a tidy organized home does not come naturally to me. So creating nightly cleaning routine and a weekly laundry routine that I can stick to is so important.
  • Document life. To me this has to do with creating a legacy for us and our future kids to look back on. I have many photos of my husband and sunsets on my phone, yet very few of the two of us and even less of me. I’m making a goal to get in front of the camera more this year. Additionally I want to organize our digital collection of photos and create some albums. Im also going to journal this year, to start this creating this habit I’m using The Five Minute Journal.
  • Simplify the work week. Life is stressful and I am not an organized person, so I’m always running late for work and feel there aren’t enough hours in the day. Well guess what, there’s always only going to be 24 hours, so what can I do to make the most of it? Plan my workday outfits on Sunday, pack my lunch in the evenings, get an old fashioned alarm clock, wake up earlier and do something that makes me happy before I got to work.

Now that I’ve shared my goals with you I’ll be checking in once a month to share my progress with all of you! Cheers to a fantastic new year!

Goodbye 2019

Hey guys! It’s been a while hasn’t it. Today I’m sharing where I’ve been and what’s happening to the blog in the new year.

So let’s start from the beginning, in May 2018 I bought the domain name for danielleathome.com, and in July I launched. I was loving every second of this creative outlet. But soon the pressure of the instagram followers, like count and Pinterest pins got to me. See I’d never intended to grow to a certain amount or make this a business. My little corner of the internet that was meant as a fun hobby to fill my time while the hubby was working crazy hours turned into something I felt I had to do. This might sound crazy since my social following is so tiny, but it is true. It wasn’t that fun anymore.

I continued to truck along through the beginning of 2019. When we bought our house my focus switched to my “real life” instead of my online one. I couldn’t keep up with the demand of our move and the self inflicted blogging pressure. So I took my first break. The months of August and September I went radio silent and I soaked in the Summer heat. But then I missed it. Sharing recipes or my thoughts and life happenings with my internet friends, so I came back. I spent the fall sharing my favourite flavours of the season, the fire was re ignited.

But once again my plans to keep sharing were derailed. This fall was hard on my family, my mom lost both her parents very close together. Combine that with my work demands and I was on track to burn out. I wanted to focus on what was making me the most happy. That was taking things slow and spending time with my loved ones. Although I had fun plans for yummy holiday content and at times I wanted to share I knew being present at home was the best thing for me. Because of these choices I had a fantastic and calming Christmas season. It was so good for the soul.

Of course I didn’t forget about my blog! The wheels in my head were turning thing about what I want this space to be, what I can give to this space and my why for having this blog.

So what does this mean for the blog going forward? It means you can expect 1 post per week to hit the blog, maybe more but never less. Here’s the catch, it won’t all be recipes. Yes, I’m branching out more since I have a desire to share so much more then just food with you all. I’m hopeful that this change will bring me back to the reasons this blog exists, to bring joy to all of us!

Cheers to the end of 2019 and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year! I’ll be seeing you again soon.

Today we’re talking breakfast! I love breakfast, but during the week I need to keep things fast and simple. I’m sure you can all relate, leaving early to commute to the office doesn’t leave much time for breakfast. And that brings us to todays recipe, breakfast cookies. Sounds good right?

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Healthy Breakfast Cookies

So these cookies are super tasty, but I refuse to eat un healthy food for breakfast, so I knew I had to make these taste good while still being full of nutrients. These cookies have oats, whole wheat flour, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cranberries and raisins. All of those tasty ingredients get mixed with mashed banana, almond butter, maple syrup and almond milk to create a delicious dough. Oh and theres a few chocolate chips thrown in there for good measure! Mix all of the ingredients together to create a dough and bake for 12-14 minutes!

These turned out so much better then I ever expected! Believe me I was skeptical, but they were so yummy! They’re filling, nutrient dense, full of fibre and protein. Grab one or two on your way out the door for a great on the go breakfast!

Fall Sheet Pan Supper

I love a simple one (or two!) pan meal! Sheet pan dinners are part of my weekly rotation. I make a variation of this meal every season! I’m sure you’ve made a sheet pan supper before, they are so simple. Choose a variety of seasonal vegetables we approximately the same cook time. Add them to a pan with your favourite protein, easy and delicious!

Fall Sheet Pan Supper
Fall Sheet Pan Supper

For this meal I chose butternut squash, potatoes and brussels sprouts. For the protein I chose chicken breasts, because I wanted this meal to be fast! I made a quick marinade for the chicken to give it lots of flavour. The marinade had soy sauce, garlic, maple syrup, dijon mustard and thyme. It was super yummy and differentiated the flavours of the chicken from the vegetables. For the vegetables, I kept it simple. I love the flavour of vegetables and didn’t want to over power them.

I made this recipe with 4 chicken breast, so to fit all of the vegetables you may need to use two sheet pans. You need the vegetables to be spread out in a single layer to get crispy bits, so make sure not to over crowd the pan! Believe me, you want crispy bits!! So yummy!

Once all of your vegetables and chicken are on the sheet pans, bake for 30 minutes, yep thats it! Easy, healthy, seasonal, delicious and fast! Give this recipe a try! I hope you really enjoy it.

With just a little over a week until Halloween it’s time to share a spooky cocktail! This one is inspired by spiders! It may look spooky but it tastes delicious and is perfect for any Halloween party your having this weekend!

Black Widow Cocktail - Halloween

Black Widow Cocktail - Halloween

This cocktail is super simple, it’s just blackberry pomegranate juice muddled with blackberries, a squeeze of lime and some tequila. Super delicious, sweet and refreshing. The natural deep purple colour is great but if you want to make it extra dark and spooky add a drop or two of black food colouring!

The impressive part of this cocktail is the spun sugar spider webs. Now of course this is totally optional but its fun and no where near as hard as it seems. Basically you melt the sugar in water until just slightly golden. Allow the sugar to cool for a few seconds. Grease a small bowl or cup and flick strands of sugar over the bowl using a fork. Let cool for 5 seconds before removing from the bowl. Then you’ll have a spun sugar spider web! These can be made a few days in advance and stored in an air tight container.

  • 4 cups pomegranate juice blend

  • 6 ounces tequila

Spun Sugar Spider Webs

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar

Instructions
 

Spun Sugar Spider Webs

  • Add water and sugar to a pot. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and turns slightly amber, about 15 minutes. Set aside for 5 seconds to cool slightly. Using a fork, flick the sugar in different directions over your greased mold (I used a small jam jar, but a bowl or cup would work). Allow to cool for 5-10 seconds to avoid burning your hands. Gently lift sugar from the mold and set aside. Repeat.

Drink

  • In a pitcher add berries, lime juice and tequila. Using a muddling tool or the back of a wooden spoon muddle the berries. Add juice and stir. Pour drinks over a glass filled with ice, garnish with spun sugar webs and serve.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all are enjoying your holiday weekend with family and lots of pumpkin pie! Today I thought I would share my Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. It’s creamy delicious, tastes like desert, but packed with healthy ingredients. Sweetened with maple syrup and it’s entirely dairy free! So yummy it can pass as breakfast or dessert!

Vegan Pumpkin Pie Smoothie!

For this recipe I use pumpkin puree, this is the unsweetened pure mashed pumpkin. That’s what you want for pretty much every recipe out there. We will add our own spices and sweetener. Pumpkin is full of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, it’s also super nutrient dense so it’s perfect for a smoothie.

I use a frozen banana in this recipe to keep the smoothie creamy and super cold. You won’t really taste it but it adds natural sweetness and keeps things cold. The sweetener for this recipe is maple syrup, being Canadian maple syrup screams Thanksgiving for me, but you could toss in a date or two if you’re really watching your sugar source. And of course no pumpkin pie would be complete without a little pumpkin pie spice, here’s a link on how to make your own blend if you can’t find it in the store.

Last but not least lets talk dairy, now something you don’t know is I’m actually about 80-90% dairy free. I cut dairy for my skin, but theres still a few things I can’t give up, like cheese. So I only have dairy when it’s truly worth it to me, like on holidays or in my very favourite dishes. Since we eat at other peoples homes so much this time of year I’m strict on dairy when I’m cooking for myself. This recipe is make with almond milk, coconut yogurt (this is the best brand I’ve found!) and coconut whipped cream ( I use this one, so yummy). Of course it will taste delicious with dairy products, but I thought I’d share just incase you struggle with dairy as well.

As for the process for this recipe, well it’s pretty simple. Dump, blend, top and enjoy!

My husband was super skeptical of pumpkin in a smoothie, would it taste good, would it be too healthy tasting, or to make it delicious would it be so sugary that it really shouldn’t be eaten at breakfast? In the end he was really impressed!

This really is a must try for the fall and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Today I am sharing my go to slow cooker meal. It’s delicious, super filling and pretty healthy (if you go light on the Fritos! lol). White Chicken Chili is the best, it’s super flavourful, takes basically no prep time. Perfect weeknight meal. Oh and you’ll have leftovers! Win!!

I love soups, stews and chilis in the fall and winter. I just find then so satisfying and super easy to make, but my husband isn’t a big soup fan. He’s a big strong man and likes a big plate of hearty food. He just doesn’t see soup as a meal. And he doesn’t like most chilis because tomatoes give him heartburn. So thats where this recipe saves the day. It’s hearty and there’s no tomatoes, it’s a serious winner. He actually asks for this meal regularly (could just be the Fritos!). And I happily oblige since it takes five minutes and it feeds us for days!

So lets run down what makes this recipe so great.

  1. Canned Green Chilies, seriously yummy! Basically makes everything taste like queso blanco and adds delicious flavour to this chili
  2. Jalapeños, add just the right amount of heat. Remove or don’t remove the seeds to adjust the heat to your liking. I like one with and one without.
  3. White Beans, they make this chili so hearty and filling
  4. Cream Cheese, this is what makes this chilli creamy. Yep, no cream in sight! It’s perfect and my secret weapon!
  5. Spices, don’t skimp on the cumin! Heck add extra if you want!

This recipe really is one of those no recipe recipes. You chop a few ingredients and other then that just toss everything in and let the slow cooked do it’s magic. It’s really that simple! Add your favourite chili toppings and get to eating!

I hope you give this a try at your house, I know you won’t be disappointed!

Fall is my favourite season, I love the food, the crisp weather and best of all Thanksgiving! The weather is normally pretty dry and mild in October so I love to get out and really savour the season. Since we moved in the spring we are in a new area and discovering all it has to offer this season. It’s been so fun to explore! So now I’m dreaming up all of the fun activities we should fill our weekends with before the season ends!

Today I’m rounding up our fall 2019 bucket list!

  1. Decorate the front porch.
  2. Go apple picking.
  3. Visit the pumpkin patch.
  4. Bake pumpkin cookies.
  5. Watch Hocus Pocus, as many times as possible!
  6. Find the BEST cider donuts in the city.
  7. DIY bat decorations for Halloween.
  8. Fall picnic in the park.
  9. Roast Pumpkin seeds.
  10. Buy a new cozy sweater!

We’re starting on this list this weekend and the first few items I’ll be ticking off is finding a great orchard to go apple picking, decorating the front porch with mums and a new wreath, and last but not least buying a new sweater! If you want to follow along I’ll be using the hashtag #DHfallbucketlist to track our progress, so save the image below to follow along with me! And if you need even more inspiration check out this post! Happy FALL!

My first dessert recipe of fall is a spiced pear galette! And it’s topped with yummy maple whipped cream, I’m so excited to share it!

Fall and winter desserts are my favourite. Rich chocolates, spiced fruit and delicious pumpkin are by far my favourite flavours for dessert. So today I thought I would share a galette. It’s a fun and super simple twist on the classic fall apple pie!

Spiced Pear Galette

A galette is essentially a freeform pie with only a bottom crust, it’s insanely easy and totally forgiving. It’s a rustic dessert, the edges should be jagged and rough. If you’ve even made pie you know that sometimes it’s not easy to get the dough perfectly rolled and placed. Although some of my ugliest pies have been the most delicious!

I chose pears for this dessert simply because they are one of my favourite fruits, there delicious and just don’t get as much attention as apples this time of year. I only started baking with them over Christmas last year, but I was blown away with the flavour they bring to a dessert. They’ve always been a favourite snack but now there a favourite dessert!

I decided to leave the skin on the pears in this dish, I find pear skin much softer then apple so I didn’t think it would be a problem. Plus it’s much prettier this way in my opinion.

Now as for the spice mix, I just used a classic apple pie spice, if you can’t buy the mix in store here’s a link to how to make it. I could have played around with the spices more but I really wanted a classic flavour with a twist. So I used lots of apple pie spice.

Now the whipped cream! Of course you could top your galette with deliciously creamy vanilla ice cream, but I thought a flavoured whipped cream would be better for this yummy dessert. So I added maple syrup instead of sugar to heavy whipping cream. It’s so yummy I now want to put it on everything!

This dessert would be perfect for Thanksgiving, or just a simple Sunday dinner. I hope you give it a try and love it as much as I do!

Are you a royal fan? I’m loving the royal tour and of course sweet baby Archie! But the best part of any Royal Tour is the fashion and Meghan’s has been on point. I’m loving watching her re wear some of the pieces from the Australian tour. But I really love how she’s mixing high and low fashion.

So I think I finally found a rug for our living room!! Of course I’m not sure it will match the teal pillows I just bought… oops! But those can go on the couch downstairs right? Who knows maybe they will look ok, we will have to wait and see. But Wayfair has rugs on sale this week, so I think it’s time to pull the trigger on this one.
