Fruit punch & pumpkin

-
Hello everyone!
Today I am sharing two autumn style recipes with you all, that I have been LOVING! One is a drink and the other is a snack/dessert. They are both vegetarian as well so no worries my fellow vegetarians or vegans. Haha ♥

Now for the drink, it is a homemade style hot fruit punch. I know that for example guavas are not typically sold in Canada haha because I gave this recipe to one of my Canadian friends, but no worries! It can still be made.

Ingredients:
-1 medium pot
-FRUIT!- 3 guavas, 3 apples, 2 oranges (rinse)
-2 Sugar cane, YES! the real kind because it is the best sweetener for this drink and is a fruit as well *optional*
-1 medium stick of cinnamon
-Small handful or spoonful of Jamaican/flower leaves *optional*
-Brown or white sugar

Step 1: Pre-heat your pot with 2 liters of water to medium heat
Step 2: Let it boil and add the stick of cinnamon and Jamaican leaves
Step 3: Wait 5 minutes and add the fruit
Step 4. Wait 10 minutes and check if fruit is soft
Step 5: Then add 1/4 cup of sugar or to taste
Step 6: Stir
Step 7: Turn off heat and wait 15 minutes before drinking
ENJOY!


Now this next recipe can be enjoyed as a dessert, snack, or however the heck you want. In many places like puerto Rico it is known as ''Calabaza de Castilla'' which basically translates to pumpkin of Castilla. I've been having it when I'm all snuggled up checking emails and my social media at night haha The best! Well lets get started!

Ingredients:
-3 lbs pounds of orange squash
-Medium pot (about 30'')
-2 liters of water
-2 "panela", ''piloncillo'' or brown sugar loafs- I KNOW SO MANY NAMES :-) So this is basically a Mexican type of sugar. It can be found in the Hispanic section of most stores like Walmart if you live in the U.S

Step 1: Cut the squash into pieces about 4-5 or whatever you'd like
Step 2: Rinse it and then put it in the pot
Step 3: Pour the 2 liters of water inside the pot
Step 4: Heat the pot at medium heat to boil
Step 5: When boiling place both of the sugar loafs inside the pot
Step 6: Let it cook for about 25 minutes, then check if it is soft
Step 7: Let it sit for 30 minutes before eating
ENJOY!

 So I hope you all enjoyed these recipes or even decide to make them today which is Thanksgiving if you live in the U.S. I can't express how thankful I am for each and everyone of you that supports me. Weather you follow my blog, comment, are subcribed to my YouTube channel, or follow me on Twitter, Instagram, & Tumblr. I appreciate it very much. I am also very thankful for God & his blessings, my family, friends, and last; but not least the basics of life that we should all enjoy.. internet, music, water, a home, and simply being able to breathe. I hope you all have a wonderful & fun day!

Be fearless & smile!❤

#BoycottDriscoll's | PROTEST

Hello Everyone! I would like to bring this protest to your attention. If you have not yet heard of the Driscoll's protest here is an insight. These immigrant workers are out in the scorching sun picking fruit for about $6 an hour for 12-15 hours! They are being treated terribly and harassed every day. IMAGINE how much bravery it took for them to come together and tell authorities. Not only are they being assaulted while trying to work (including child workers), but they are being threatened and the employers refuse to negotiate with them for better working conditions and salaries. These people are the backbone of America and some don't seem to want to understand that. Look around you; your gardener, school janitor, construction worker, ect. They are all part of the immigrant labor force because they have families to provide for. They are WORKING they are trying to survive. These people deserve EQUALITY and to be treated better. That is why this protest calls for an end to:

JUNETEENTH! Why is it a celebration?

-

Hello everyone! Today I'm writing about Juneteenth, this celebration dates back to 1865. On June 19th, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas and the news spread that the Civil war had ended and that ALL slaves were now free. I wanted to write about this because a lot  of us are ignorant to our history. It is ALL of our history because our ancestors played a role in the disgraceful act of slavery. Whether we are of European, African, or Aztect/Native. Each and every one of us now has privilege that people of color then and now do not have. Our society has functioned in a strange way since thousands of years ago. The white skinned people (males primarily) were at the top of society, they made the rules about what was legal and illegal. They decided to transport African people to the America's to use them as a free labor force. Not only was their freedom taken away, but they were beaten, separated from their families, traumatized, and raped. These same people turned ar

SUPPORT BLACK-OWNED BUSINESS

Hello everyone! As you all may know, the United States is facing a revolution. We must continue to support Black Lives Matter. RIP George Floyd. Enough with racism and making people endure police brutality! I am completely against any discrimination, especially when it comes to the Black community. Yes, every other civil injustice matters, but be respectful and an ally. No excuses, this is not the time to be weak. Have you ever wondered what you would've done if you were alive during other horrific historical events? Now is your chance! I will not be supporting anything or anyone who sides with the oppressors. Everyone who is not Black can help uplift Black voices. The government fears union and that is what we need. In addition to business/people showing their true colors... if you know me, then you know that I've always hated the brand D*llskill. From stealing designs to supporting racism/oppression. That is why, (below) I have built a list of Black women owned shops! C
