With over 250 locations in Canada, Boston Pizza is pretty well-known. Although their food has been reviewed many times over, I decided to write this post to share my favourite choices at Boston Pizza. Boston Pizza’s food is quite good. I have tried a few appetizers like the cactus cut potatoes and the Thai chicken…
I apologize in advance for whining. But excuse me – what happened to the buffalo chicken wraps at McDonald’s? Does anyone know why they would take the best McWrap off the menu? I want to rant over an issue that completely ruined my appetite. I’m not a regular McDonalds consumer, but a month or two…
I don’t care if it aligns nearly too much with Canadian stereotypes, maple syrup season in Ontario and Quebec is amazing (eh). Festivals, candy, events, jams, spices, fudge, pancake houses, taffy, hay rides; all devoted to the glorious sticky sweet stuff. Forget candy stores, I’d rather be at a sugar bush (a sugar maple tree operation)…
Spring is in the air, and a hint of warmth begins to replace the cold, dreary weather. Spring is the perfect time of year for a weekend stroll outside, and 17 Avenue, which boasts a variety of boutiques and shops, is a fantastic choice for such a walk around. While one might think to head…
Breakfast is known for being the most important meal of the day. Many of us choose to eat this meal as part of our mornings. We have our typical continental breakfast of cereals, eggs, toast, and milk, however there are many variations of breakfast foods in different parts of the the world. The variety results…
It’s too good to be true; the 21st century has brought a new innovative website, Freerice.com. Now let me explain. Here is what the website looks like, and as you can see on the left are where the questions are located. There’s always four options and all you have to do is click on the…
What would you do for a klondike bar macaron? If you’re like me and my friends, you end up wandering around downtown for nearly half an hour after getting lost trying to find the place. But is it worth it to just get some macarons?(Not to be confused with the macaroon, that’s a different sweet.)…
I was at a loss when I sat down to write this post. Quite frankly, with up to 500 words to fill, and the simplicity of a coddled egg, adding enough text to balance an overload of images seemed to be a challenge. All that came to mind was a brief and insincere exploration of…
While scrolling through the internet, I found this set of intriguing pictures of countries made with various foods. Created by photographer Henry Hargreaves and New-York based food stylist Caitlin Levin, the culinary photographers call the food maps project “a playful representation of out interpretation of food from around the world.” The foods used in each…
My friend is a huge fan of kefir, a probiotic bacteria similar to yogurt. So I asked myself what all the rave was about. Thus, I present with a blog! There are several benefits of using kefir that you probably don’t know about. Kefir is a source of probiotics. These help keep you healthy in…
It is hard balancing time, efficiency and health, especially when it comes to breakfast. The most important meal of the day is meant to send you on your way full of energy and ready to go. My go to for breakfast is yogurt. Full of antibiotics and milk protein, yogurt is a great way to…
From March 7-16, Calgary foodies and food-newbies alike were able to discover restaurants around the city during The Big Taste. Essentially, The Big Taste is an event where participating restaurants have a set menu (often with a few options) of three courses for a fairly reasonable, set price. Dinners were generally $35, lunches $15, and some restaurants offered…
In my quest for the ultimate Vietnamese cuisine, I recently visited Thai Tai. The service at Thai Tai was fairly good. The waiter came by several times to check how we were doing. When ordering, I was able to get a few changes to the food I ordered. Overall service at Thai Tai is fast-paced,…
Tim Horton’s has nothing on this place! In a tiny nook in southeast Calgary there sits an amazing cafe called the Cornerstone Music Cafe. I was unaware of this great place until I came over to it during YYC’s Hot Chocolate Fest, where I managed to drink in the indulgence that was my Hot Mayan…
Chocolate, a decadent treat, a guilty pleasure and sometimes, a girl’s best friend. But could it be possible that we are in the midst of experiencing a global shortage of chocolate?
