31 Days of Halloween: Week 1

Hi Dames and Dolls!

Now that October is here (my favorite time of year) it is time to celebrate the 31 days of Halloween! Excessive?...maybe. Elaborate?...possibly. Tradition?...YES!

Each year since my son was old enough to trick or treat, I have orchestrated and assembled a month's worth of fun, Halloween themed and most recently the most difficult part - age appropriate activities.

Each week I will give you a recap of the week's avtivities and hopefully you will come back and comment your own spooky, scary Halloweenie ideas.

This week's daily breakdown:

October 1st: Indoor Decorating Day

October 2nd: Outdoor Decorating Day/Pumpkin Day

October 3rd (start of weekly themes): Disney Halloween Week /Haunted Mansion Movie Night with Haunted Mansion Game

October 4th: Spooky Apple Punch dupes

Vegan Meal Prep

Hello Dames and Dolls! I finally caved! This week I meal prepped. I always see cute pics and used to see coworkers who meticulously portioned colorful, fragrant foods into little plastic and glass containers. I also thought each time "Who has the time?" Well, since Corona, I now do. And I did just that. First, came grocery shopping, then as life goes I had to delay prepping by one day. But finally, I gloriously prepped. Keeping everything somewhat simple and using containers from Amazon , I prepped: Hummus and Veggies Potato and Kale bowls Chili with tortilla strips Burger Salad Fresh Fruit Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits Granola with Milk Granola with Yogurt Smoothie Bowls I listed all the breakdowns/recipes on my IG, @doseofvegan_, so be sure to go check it out!

Disney at Home: The World of AVATAR Pongu Pongu Night Blossom

Hello all! I am so glad to be back! I am back with a new 'eatspirational' recipe. The summertime heat of August has got me CRAVING the deliciously sweet and tart frozen Night Blossom drink from Animal Kingdom. On my recent visit to Disney World, I had the frozen concoction boozey version with the rum added. **The Disney trip vlog will be uploaded this weekend :) Be sure to check out my Youtube channel for the happiest adventure on Earth! I like most sweet frozen drinks so the Night Blossom was definitely on the must-try list. Tangy and sweet layers of desert pear and green apple are topped with popping boba and as I mentioned before, there is a 21+ version that includes a heavy handed portion of rum. The beautiful result is an 'Instagram-able' cup of frozen candy-like beverage. Disney uses several different companies for flavoring syrups and lemonade but this one is super simple; Monin for the syrups and Simply brand limeade. You may need to order your popping boba on...
