why hello there, fall.

Fall is officially here in all its glory... crisp mornings, yellow leaves, perfect-for-sleeping nights and temperatures chilly enough for us to rock our layered ensembles (let's hear it for scarves and booties!).

I find myself gravitating towards richer colours, cozy clothing (it's the return of sweater weather), anything pumpkin’y and hot tea with lemon & honey. Fall is my absolute favourite. I just wish it lasted longer.

What about you? What do you love about fall?

p.s. Pics are from Instagram, where I've been having a ball. Find me at allkindsoflovelyblog. (:

eat: thyme & dijon turkey sliders

Turkey burgers 1 Turkey burgers 2

One of my new favorite dishes to make (and eat) are these four ingredient turkey sliders. They're moist, flavourful and easy to assemble - which is a godsend after a long day at work. We like to grill them but they can also be popped into the oven just as easily.

Here's how to make them...

  • Sauté a handful of finely chopped red onion in olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the onion with 1 pound of ground turkey. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh thyme and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard; season with salt & pepper. Combine well with a fork. Gently form mixture into four small (or two huge) patties. Using your thumb, make a small indentation in the center of each pattie.
  • Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill sliders for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn over; grill until cooked through, about another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Or you can bake them at 450 degrees on a baking sheet until sizzling, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Serve with lettuce & cranberry mayo (so delish - just equal amounts cranberry sauce & mayo).

Bon appétit, friends! I hope you like these as much as we do.
