Happy Thanksgiving Canada
Happy Thanksgiving Canada
What a fun month, Welcome to Happiness is Homemade and we are more than ready For October.
This is my month, says Linda, I love hosting for October,. All the other months my amazing co-hosts share their favs. This month, A Labour of Life gets to share her love of Fall, Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween, for this Canadian it is an amazing time of year.
Today, I celebrate Fall in all its glory with all things Apple. So many treats to sip and savour. Come show us what you are working on.
Why a Rustic Apple Galette Feels More Like Fall Than Pumpkin Ever Could
Garden Feast prefers the unpretentious rustic beauty of an apple galette, still warm from the oven, any day.
That’s the magic of a galette. It’s not trying too hard. It’s pie’s relaxed cousin. Think the one who shows up to dinner in a flannel shirt and still somehow looks effortlessly perfect. The crust is folded freehand, golden and rustic with those beautiful, imperfect edges. The apple slices fan out, glazed with a little sugar and cinnamon (or in my case, with apricot jam), caramelizing just enough in the oven to scent your whole house.
Muffin Mix Caramel Apple Cobbler
Recipes My Mom Gave Me shares a fun new treat Muffin Mix Caramel Apple Cobble. An easy cobbler that includes a muffin mix, sweet apples and a smooth caramel sauce. Perfect for fall!
CANDY APPLE MARTINI
A liquid adult version of a favorite Fall treat from Cindy's On Line Recipe Box
Homemade Apple Dumplings
Apple dumplings evoke all the warm feelings of fall. Whenever I make these, it never ceases to amaze me how many memories come flooding in.
Homemade Apple Dumplings are made by peeling and coring apples, then filling them with a cinnamon sugar mixture. They are wrapped in a buttery, flaky pie crust and spooned with a warm syrup mixture of butter, sugar, and water. They are perfectly cooked, and you are in heaven!
How to Make Homemade Puff Pastry Apple Turnovers
You are going to love this easy dessert for Puff Pastry Apple Turnovers from Walking on Sunshine Recipes
Golden, flaky layers wrap around a sweet fruit filling, it's perfect for a weekend family treat or holiday celebration. This recipe is sure to become a favorite.
Lets Link Up
Seems odd for me not to yet again not share a fun fallscape table, but I really wanted to stick to the Apple Theme this week for the Canadian Thanksgiving. Next week let Halloween tricks and treats commence. Hit me up with a new link.
Plus I promise next week is Halloween and tables and crafts and DIY's all around. Just really needed a fun theme this weekend.

All Around the House on Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to this week's Happiness is Homemade party #588. Yes, we have hosted 588 weekly blog parties and we are still having fun! Let me try my math skills out here a little bit ... 588 divided by 52 weeks per year = 11.3 YEARS!
Proof positive that hosting blog parties is fun, or we wouldn't still be doing it. LOL
And, even more than fun ... it helps parents, writers, crafters, cooks, decorators, artists, teachers and on and on. Blog parties give visibility to our guests' creations and we like helping people. You can do your part, even if you don't fall into those categories, by enjoying the posts shared by our guests. Visit them, share them, and leave nice comments. Try it ... you'll like it! ❤️ This month of June, I am the host who gets to create our parties. My name is Sinea and my blog is Ducks 'n a Row. It is my privilege to pick out our features from the previous party to spotlight. I think I found a nice variety for you to enjoy. Please do share this party on your social media to remind people to come over and join us? New posts can be added for several days, now, so keep coming back to see what's new!Saturday, May 31, 2025
