Every year I start strong (or maybe just with the best intentions of starting strong), and lose energy right in the middle of the month. But then, I post a bunch during the last week. I&#8217;m aiming to do better this year. October is a big month of food here, it&#8217;s harvest and apple picking season, Canadians (like me) celebrate thanksgiving, and all sorts of autumn events are happening this month.<\/p>\n<p>This time around I&#8217;ve opted to do a themed day to keep myself motivated, and keep things fun in the kitchen. Hopefully it&#8217;ll stick.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also aiming to leave at least five comments on blogs every day, because I read so many blogs everyday, and sometimes I&#8217;m just too shy to say anything, but I want to break out of that habit. Starting today!<\/p>\n<p>My themes are (subject to change&#8230;) but I&#8217;m thinking:<\/p>\n<p><b>MoFo Monday<\/b> &#8211; where I take a recipe I find from a fellow MoFo&#8217;er (or more) and make it at home.<br \/>\n<b>Terrific Tuesday Tasty Treats<\/b> &#8211; Baked tasty treats! How can I go wrong? I can&#8217;t!<br \/>\n<b>Gluten Free Hump Day every Wednesday<\/b> &#8211; I will be recipe testing a gluten free cookbook this month (and probably November) and experimenting with gluten free baking, so I&#8217;ll be sharing the process (but not the recipes!)<br \/>\n<b>Things I love Thursday &#8211; <\/b>I make a list of things I love every week on Thursday, but I rarely share it&nbsp;publicly, but I think it would be nice to share it this month.&nbsp;It&#8217;s just a nice way to break up the week, and increase positive energy, and plus, vegan food items of one sort or another, are always on my list.<br \/>\n<b>Free For All Friday<\/b> &#8211; Who knows!<br \/>\n<b>Caturday <\/b>&#8211; I plan to talk about my cat. So there. Meow.<br \/>\n<b>Special Event Sunday<\/b> &#8211; There are lots of awesome food related things going on locally, or special holidays like thanksgiving, and I want to blog all about them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really excited about October, and I can&#8217;t wait to get back in the kitchen and get cooking!
