Happy November!
I hope you had an excellent (and spooky) weekend!
I had a very relaxing Halloween weekend as both of my boys now are at the age where they are “tool cool” to dress up – anyone else?!
So rather than any trick or treating activities, I invited my family over for a Sunday dinner! It was great to cook all evening, and have them over for some good food and quality time to catch up with each other.
Speaking of family dinners… as we enter November we also enter the season of… FOOD!
With the holiday season approaching, we are excited to share with you all of our best tips for loving your leftovers and reducing food waste in a fun way!
Here is what to look forward to this month:
1. Love Your Leftover Holiday Recipes!
As you may know, last year I was extremely passionate about helping us, as the Steamy Kitchen community, to lessen our food waste with exciting ways to revamp leftovers, practice reverse meal planning and use flexible recipes like Buddha Bowls!
We will be sharing our favorite recipes with you and giving you tons of inspiration and resources to embrace all of those leftovers this holiday season!
2. Sharing Gratitude All Month Long!
Did you know that November is Gratitude Month?
Gratitude has been shown to contribute to an overall sense of well-being and it is something that I have talked about alot this year!
While Thanksgiving Day generally focuses on gratefulness, we’re expanding the concept to the beginning of each week in November! Make sure to be following along on our Facebook Page to get our best tips for practicing gratitude this month and beyond!

Jaden’s Weekly Tip:
Many people invest in a pizza cutter for one purpose – to cut pizza of course!
But what if we told you this is an incredibly handy tool for so many more uses!
Use it to slice up tortillas for homemade nachos, slice homemade noodle dough into strips, cut up pancakes into bite sized pieces for your little ones, slice up quesadillas or sandwiches! We love using our pizza cutter beyond just pizza!
What is your go to pizza cutter hack? Let us know on our SK Facebook Page!
Don’t forget November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the United States. The day we pay our respects to the many who fought the enemy to make sure we had the freedom we have today.
Not recipe related but wanted to say it would have been nice if you, Jaden, made mention that November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada as it is Veteran’s Day in the United States. A day if some of you reading this and who are not aware of, is the one day of the year we pay our respects for the many soldiers, many of them being young teens, who sacrificed their lives in the wars so we could live the free lives we do today.
the very first time i noticed Jaden’s site “Steamy Kitchen” was from google searching the word “Budda” and Jadens Budda bowls came up in the search results. i have had a cat named “Buddah” for 20 years, so i clicked it and thats what lead me here. ive been coming back everyday-ish to enter the contests ever since. most of my contest entries are for hoping to win for myself or to give to a particular family member or friend. i might at times win prizes that i donate to a local charity.
