Ingredients This soup is so easy to make and if you don’t make the Kale Coconut Tangle, you will likely already have everything you need in the pantry. If you don’t have access to a blender, chop the onions really small and you won’t notice them in the finished product.

2 tbsp Olive Oil 1 Onion, diced 1 Clove Garlic, minced 3 cups of Pureed Pumpkin, from a 796 ml can or DYI cooked pumpkin 3 cups low/no Sodium Vegetable or Chicken Stock 1 cup Canned Light Coconut Milk (reserve some of the remaining milk for a drizzle on each bowl)

Directions Step ONE: Heat oil over medium heat in a medium size pot, add onion, sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic, sauté for 30 seconds.

Step TWO: Add the rest of the soup ingredients, bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes.

Step THREE: Blend using an emersion blender or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step FOUR: In the meantime, make the Kale Coconut Tangle (optional). Place the

coconut in a frying pan over medium heat and toast until golden, about 5 minutes, then transfer to a plate or bowl. Add the oil, heat. Add the kale and toss in oil. Continue tossing until the kale has wilted and begins to get a little crunchy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the coconut back into the frying pan with the kale, toss together and shut the heat off, set aside.

Step FIVE: Distribute the soup between 4 bowls, drizzle a tsp of coconut milk over each bowl and top with a pinch of Kale Coconut Tangle, if using.

2 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup 1/2 tsp Sea Salt 1/4 tsp Black Pepper 1/4 tsp Cinnamon 1/4 tsp Chili Powder, optional For the Kale Coconut Tangle 2 tbsp shredded Unsweetened Coconut 1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil 1 cup shredded Kale 2 tbsp Canned Light Coconut Milk to drizzle on the bowls of soup

Custom CABINETRY with a sense of style

As a designer, there are two renovation

requests that I get time and time again. The first is betterfunctioning storage systems, and the second is custom elements. When you combine the two, the result is pure magic. Now, you might not think that custom cabinets are particularly exciting, but don't be fooled! The effects of a well-planned, efficient and clean home will make your heart skip a beat.

While custom cabinetry is a big ask in small spaces, the trend that is quickly gaining traction in homes of every size. The trend is all about making the most of every inch in your home, and doing it in a way that speaks to your unique style sensibilities But before making a big investment in custom cabinets, you need to determine how your space will be used.

Some areas of the home are made expressly for storage. In closets or pantries, stuff rules the realm and it's okay to adopt a more utilitarian design. In these spaces, function almost always come firsts. Other rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room are used primarily as living/ working spaces with storage playing a supporting role. This is where fashion needs to be given a little extra love.

Here are some of my favourite trends in custom cabinetry, that will to take your storage system from "just practical" to "just... WOW." Custom colour When it comes to geometric shapes and patterns, a little can go a long way, so you want to ensure the pattern isn't competing with other elements in the space. Incorporate this trend without going overboard by using accents.

Custom dimensions Okay, extra-high cabinets aren't exactly a new trend, but there's certainly renewed interest in efficiently using every available inch of your home. This includes the wall space right up to the ceiling, or custom corner cabinets that tuck infrequently used or seasonal items out of the way, yet easily at hand. >>>

Open and closed shelving This will allow you to tailor your storage system and aesthetic to your personal storage style. What do I mean?

Some people naturally tern to be messy and could benefit more from cabinets with doors that conceal the clutter.

Meanwhile, a collector may appreciate open shelving to display his or her favourite finds.

"Smart" storage No conversation about "home" in 2018 would be complete without the obligatory tech topic, and custom cabinetry is no different. A hot trend is to incorporate charging and docking stations into your cabinetry, to eliminate countertop clutter in the form of phones, tablets, laptops, cables and cords.

Beyond the basics, think wireless devices built right in, like speakers or a television!

Custom cabinetry can help you make the most of your home. When planning your storage system, think fashion and function right off the bat.

After all, that is one of the benefits of creating custom versus buying a ready-made product off the shelf. You get what you really want. Custom elements for the home will cost more, but when done properly your custom cabinets will pay off tenfold.

good to know

YOUR

FURNACE

ISN'T WORKING What do you do?

It’s always important to make sure that your furnace is in good working order, but as we prepare for the cold weather, the need becomes that much greater.

After all, your furnace is what will help keep your home warm and toasty.

18

A working furnace is also a matter of safety - any issues could expose you and your loved ones to dangerous and deadly carbon monoxide.

If you experience a problem, you will need to contact a licensed gas technician. Depending on what issues they find with it or any other

natural gas piping, vents or appliances connected to it, you may get a warning tag.

There are two types of warning tags - A and B. An A tag means there’s an imminent danger of carbon monoxide, and for safety your natural gas service will be shut off. If you get a B tag, which means your furnace doesn’t pose an immediate threat, you’ll be given a few weeks to have it repaired by a licensed gas technician.

Finding a technician Websites like the Technical Safety Standards and Safety Authority and the Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada can help you find a licensed gas technician in your area. In most cases, the technician you hire will make the necessary repairs, turn your gas back on and clear the tag by notifying your natural gas utility - either Enbridge Gas or Union Gas.
