The Best Of September Is Here β˜€οΈ


Hi there, Reader

Is it just me, or does the last week of September feel like someone hit fast-forward on the year?

Thanksgiving is in less than 2 weeks 😱 (If you're in Canada), and we're approaching the busiest time of year for recipe websites.

Not the best time for me to have injured my back. I've been mostly out of action and hobbling around for the last 4 weeks. Oh, and Mr AVV is away for a few weeks, so it's just me and the doggos who have had to have their meals thrown at them because I can't bend down. Good times! πŸ™ƒ

I've got so many new recipes piling up. Enter specimen one:

Even though it should have been an end-of-summer recipe, this one will be first up for photographing once I'm able. It's such a good burg! 🀀

Also coming up is a famous British bickie copycat, and the most delicious, healthy, and easy crispy nuggets. Definitely some apple recipes too because I have hundreds on my tree that need picking (if Charlie and the bears don't get them first!), and the "coming soons" I mentioned in my last end-of-the-month email, which are also still in the queue....

Until then, let's take a look at the recipes that were most loved, reviewed, shared, and devoured in September!

I am loving Schaf skincare! I've been on quite the skincare journey over the past few years (thanks perimenopause!), with all my usual stuff (and everything else I've tried - no matter how natural) causing breakouts, eczema, cystic acne, rashes, etc. Then I found Schaf Skincare, and within a few weeks, my skin cleared up. Now it's never looked better.

Schaf is plant-based, gender-neutral, super effective, and very gentle with no fragrance, essential oils, irritants, allergens or sensitizers. And although it's a bit pricey, it's minimal and multipurpose (for example, the moisturizer doubles as eye cream), so you don't end up with the clutter of loads of different products for targeting different things (if you've ever used The Ordinary, you know exactly what I mean!).

The three below are my holy grail (the cleanser removes your makeup like a dream without stinging your eyes). You should be able to get $25 off your first order via this link. If you've got problem skin, I highly recommend it!

Until next time, friends

Hi there, Reader My 2nd new recipe this week. Who even am I? I'll credit my back (which is feeling much better at long last) for the sudden burst of recipe inspiration and desire to get my proper camera out at long last. Today, I am bringing to the table my new crunchy, ultra-clumpy Pumpkin Seed Granola. It tastes and smells like fall, and I've been loving it with some dairy-free yogurt and banana for breakfast. It's great for snacking straight from the jar too, and is naturally nut-free, so...

Hi there, Reader Applesauce - Brought to you by my apple trees who produced a ridiculous amount of apples this year! This is really easy and all you need are some apples and some cinnamon. You don't even have to peel the apples unless you want to. I've included stovetop, Instant Pot, and slow cooker directions. Whichever way you do it your home will be smelling amazing! This recipe is in preparation for a delicious new and easy cake recipe which has been photographed and will be winging it's...

Hi there, Reader It's my birthday tomorrow, and it's a big one (the big 5-0 to be exact😳). I know age is just a number, but this one is hitting hard. I'm going out for a special meal tomorrow night (I'm not a party person), but I will be cooking up some of my favourite recipes to treat myself tonight and over the rest of the weekend, and thought it might be fun to share what I'm making. Please, nobody suggest that Mr A Virtual Vegan does the cooking. I don't want this birthday to be my last,...
