Mama Bear (tie your hair in two buns for ears, draw on a brown nose with eyeliner and wear your biggest brownest sweater)
Morticia from the Addams Family (wear a fitting black dress, straighten your hair and put on some red lipstick)
Taylor Swift (pick your favourite era and throw on any cute dress in that colour scheme - or better yet - throw on some Kansas City Chiefs merch, put on red lipstick and call it a day)
Men In Black (borrow a suit, put on some sunglasses and order a blow up alien)
👩🍳 Recipe of the Week: Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
This is a smoky and spiced turkey sweet potato chili and it’s as hearty and satisfying as it is flavourful! It comes together in the slow cooker with ground turkey, sweet potatoes, beans, a generous dose of seasoning, and a little jalapeño heat.
