I did a thing.

My mother-in-law’s special squash fritters… but with a little Spicy Jan pivot.

Squash from my garden 2025.
Dusted cinnamon.

And yes — dipped or drizzled in Nutella.

Tradition with a twist and honestly -- they were beautiful.

Old recipes deserve a little evolution sometimes.

Would you try one? What topping would you want?

🌶️Jan, let's cook.

Squash is one of those ingredients that works hard for you. Here I roasted Butternut and Spaghetti Squash.

This is still squash from my garden last summer. Yup, I just keep it in the garage and we eat garden to table, all winter long.

Roast it once → meals for days.

Less waste. Better food.

Happy Snow Day!

Check out this healthy side I made to enjoy for the week with a protein, or enjoy on its own.

📍Made in 20 and done. I did this on Sunday night to help a busy week flow smoothly.

Let me know if you try this. I can plug you in to some easy prep ahead ideas.

There’s something special about growing your own food — whether it’s a backyard plot, community garden, a balcony box, or herbs on your kitchen counter. It’s not about perfection. Just add water, sunshine, and a little bit of loving.

I've been reflecting, the past few days, on how my journey started in an industry that holds such incredible opportunity, not just to earn income, but to build new worth and skill, and gain new relationships with humans you would have likely never met.

Although all of these photos are from my Sunset Gourmet amazing seven years, my journey did begin with Epicure Selections.

I continue to share the story today in my business journey beginnings bio, that one invitation to one home party with Epicure, changed my life path. It really did.

I would still be in my 9 to 5, likely unhappy, living life wondering what else there is for me .... but that didn't happen.

My awesome neighbour Pat, invited me to an Epicure party and I was so curious about the product, the fun everyone was having but more so, this interesting woman who was like me, but selling this product and clearly loving it. If Denise Thibodeau hadn't offered to help me have a party, then try Epicure for myself for extra income ... I would not be where I am today. Period!

I learned how to use my voice, I was encouraged to grow and stretch my wings as a possible entrepreneur. I was learning and Denise was and still is, an incredibly patient and kind human, who was just like me.

Thank you Denise.

I did move along after four years, as I wanted to stretch my wings further and take my newly developed skills to a newer, younger company and I did just that. Sunset Gourmet was the most incredible experience EVER for seven years of my life, and the people, travel, and leadership were the most outstanding moments I still cherish today. They know but really have no idea what a huge priority in my life, in my business, and my team were to me during those years. I value those 12 years that shaped my ability to truly step into the light as a full time entrepreneur supporting my own two businesses.
