Simple Marinated Carrot Salad
I love it when the weather becomes nicer and we can have people over to entertain. Whether it is a simple or elegant affair, there is just something so amazing about firing up the grill or stove and inviting your closest friends and family over to enjoy the sunshine. Having people over always means libations and nosh…and what better … Continue reading
My worst dining experience ever…and it happened at the Joyce on 4th
So normally, I’m pretty laid back when it comes to dining out. I’ve been there…I know what it’s like to be a server totally overwhelmed and in the weeds. I hardly ever rant about service because really, I know that everyone has a bad day. But yesterday, I was absolutely horrified by the lack of … Continue reading
I admit….I’m a slacker
Okay….it’s been MONTHS since I’ve posted anything. I thought we were friends? You were suppose to remind me to get my butt off of twitter and post something remember? No matter….I promise that I will be back soon. I mean, it’s not like I haven’t eaten or drank anything in the past three months. BUT, … Continue reading
Who’s a maid…Marmalade?!
I’ve always had it in my head that making marmalade was hard. I mean…growing up, I would always look at all the little wee bits of orange and citrus peel so delicately suspended in all that tasty goodness. Visions of someone slaving away at the kitchen tediously removing pith and cutting perfect slivers of citrus peel … Continue reading
Bacon Jam
Bacon Jam is a wonderful thing. I almost feel like the woman in the Franks Hot Sauce Commercial because I really could “Put that (insert explicit here) on everything!” I first found the recipe while perusing through the foodiewithfamily blog and immediately flagged it as something I just had to try. I mean – really, what … Continue reading
Homemade Bacon Vodka
When I first heard about Homemade Bacon Vodka….I thought to myself “WHHAAAAAAAAATTTTT?!”. At first, I felt a little nauseated. Then, I became intrigued. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m a firm believer that bacon makes everything taste better. So, is it really that weird to make several batches of bacon flavoured vodka? For … Continue reading
NOtaBLE – New Years Eve Party
Alright, so I admit that I haven’t been too great at updating this blog. Truth is that I’ve been very busy stuffing my noggin’ with good eats at NOtaBLE. So it wasn’t such a big surprise to everyone who knows us that that’s exactly where we ended up going for New Years’ Eve. Unlike years … Continue reading
NOtaBLE – the restaurant
Have you ever been somewhere and had that perfect dish…One that you could eat for the rest of eternity? I’ve found my weakness at Chef Michael Noble’s restaurant NOtaBLE. Seriously, where do I even begin? Since our very first visit, it has become our most favorite restaurant to eat at. The place is hip, and happening…and who … Continue reading
My Halloween pumpkin turned into something delicious…Creamy Coconut Pumpkin Soup!
Each year in my neighbourhood, a local realtor and her team does a food drive for our city’s food bank…and in exchange for a bag of non-perishables, gives out a pumpkin. In my quest to find another use for the annual Halloween Pumpkin (other than just for a jack-o-lantern or pumpkin pie), I decided on making a … Continue reading
Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival
Can you believe that this amazing Wine & Food festival has been running for thirteen years now?! It is a local show that showcases more than 50 local area restaurants and more than 120 beverage exhibitors. Every year, I’ve been meaning to go and check out this event…BUT it seems that every year, I just so happen to … Continue reading
