I’ve been loving 🥰 seeing you guys bake up a storm! Happy to share an easy bread recipe that’s getting many of you to try making bread for the first time! Since so many of you have mastered the no-knead bread, you have got to try this Focaccia recipe! I’ve tried a few recipes and this one (I’ve probably done about 5-6 times) is my favourite. It’s still easy, just a couple more steps, and it’s never failed me. Recipe here: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/rosemary-focaccia-bread
Don’t forget to tag me if you make it! Makes my day!!! 💕

Made Baked Chicken Parmesan in my story 🎥 tonight, or as Clara likes to call it, Pizza Chicken. Very easy to switch up breading ingredients and use what you have on hand whether it’s panko, breadcrumbs, or almost stale bread turned into crumbs! We had with pasta, but it’s also great with spaghetti squash. Recipe here: https://busybuthealthy.com/baked-chicken-parmesan-gluten-free/

DIY gel nails! I was due for a fill and wanted the freedom to do it at home. It was my first time, and it took a while 😝but pretty happy with how they came out! Definitely no professional here! I don’t have acrylic powder yet to do a proper fill, I just cleaned them up and put on gel polish. Happy with everything I got on Amazon.ca so wanted to share. The drill I got sold out so tried to link similar. Really love the colour set. Should also mention the base and top coat are smaller bottles (hence the lower price). I linked to everything in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app. Link is in my bio! 💥
Anyone else doing at-home mani/pedis?! http://liketk.it/2MJOb #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Can never go wrong with skewers on the grill! Great way to use whatever veggies you have in the fridge. Here did bell peppers, onions, tomato, pineapple, shrimp. Brushed with garlic butter. Let’s be honest, anything tastes good with a bit of charred edges and garlic butter 😋 #quarantinemeals #skewers #easydinnerideas

Sienna’s Chickpea Burgers 🍔! She made these in Home Economics class and liked them so I wanted her to make them at home! See the step-by-step in my story. Only 8 ingredients and we all enjoyed them! You could also sub for different veggies or canned beans just use what you have on hand!!
.

Sienna’s Chickpea Burgers
- 1 can chickpeas or 2 cups, rinsed/drained - 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 3 Tbsp onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp green onion, finely chopped - 1 egg - 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- salt & pepper to taste (I’d say about 1/2 tsp each)
.
Put a skillet over medium heat and mist with oil, sauté all the veg/garlic together until soft (about 5 min).
.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the chickpeas and oats and mash together with a fork until there are no full chickpeas. .
Add in the cooked veggies to the both and mix together. And salt/pepper and an egg and mix until combined and can be formed into a patty. If mixture is too dry, add a little water.
Form into 6-7 patties and cook in the skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides. .
Serve on a bun (or lettuce bun) with all your favourite burger fixings!!
