This year, Stampede featured some pretty wacky new foods, but none were quite as strange as Crocodile Sliders. Yes, made with REAL crocodile. I decided to venture off the path of traditional fair food and give them a shot. After all was said and done, I must say, I was rather disappointed. First of all,…
Summer road trips can be a hassle to pack for, as are all packing adventures. The endless driving on an endless road can be painful, but some of us love the drive, and the many stops along the way. However, there is fun to be had watching the scenic trees slip by. I personally enjoy watching…

Let me tell you, this isn’t your standard KD by any stretch of the imagination. Now, before you…
Not having been to Stampede in somewhere around four years, I was very excited to be back, taking in the entire experience, including some of the new food being offered. The first new food item I ate was Jamaican Mi Juicy’s Jerk Chicken Meal, and I can say that I certainly was not disappointed. Jerk spice…

Buffalo Wild Wings is a restaurant that has pub style decor, but is not a pub. To start, I ordered the soft pretzels and they were quite good with the standard cheese sauce, but you can also choose from a selection of 17 sauces for no extra charge, which is pretty cool. Soon after the…
For Father’s Day dinner, my family and I had the pleasure of eating at The Bow Valley Ranche. This upscale restaurant, located in the heart of Fish Creek Park, operates out of a ranch house built in 1896. This antique yet newly refurbished setting adds a modern twist to the classic architecture of the building.…
With exception of number five on the list (the restaurant supply store), for this list, speciality usually means expensive. So while not to do your daily grocery shopping at, these stores are interesting to browse through and quite often air-conditioned as well. 1. The luxury store – Mercato’s The main value in going to Mercato—once quite a…
Recently, for my brother’s graduation lunch, we went to Mango Shiva on Stephen Avenue. The walk from the parking at Banker’s Hall to the restaurant was not that long, especially in good weather. The restaurant itself had a warm ambiance with many lights, mirrors, and warm tones. It is semi-formal to casual and great for…

First of all, the menu contains a variety of options from pastas to pizza, steak, veal and more which is quite good. This restaurant seems to have appeal…
CINNAMON If I could pick a spice I love it had to be cinnamon. It is anti-inflammatory. It also helps with reducing pain whenever you have a headache or a heartburn. TURMERIC Turmeric has so many amazing benefits. It is tough to combat cancers, how great is that? It has some great anti-inflammatory properties as…
Do you ever try to exercise to lose weight, but give up the next few days? Do you ever try to eat less, but that doesn’t last either? I don’t know about your experiences, but I have done all of the above. Personally, I don’t like exercise and I enjoy food. Those kinds of restrictions are cruel…
