Chefs Plate: Turkey Taco Salad

Categories Delivery/Takeout, Food, RecipesLeave a Comment on Chefs Plate: Turkey Taco Salad


We’ve been moving and unpacking all this week so we didn’t really have too much time planning meals and getting groceries. Thankfully, Chefs Plate helped out and the box came to our door step the day we moved in.

Yesterday I cooked a Turkey Taco Salad. All the ingredients were fresh and it was full of flavour. I loved the cilantro sour cream, as well as the spices in the turkey. Plus, it felt like I was eating healthy, in comparison to the takeout I was eating all last week.

Reinhart’s Red Apple Cider

Categories Drinks, FoodLeave a Comment on Reinhart’s Red Apple Cider

I love cider, so everytime I see a new one at the LCBO I must try it. This Reinhart one is by the same people who make Apple Cider and baked goods, so they had to know what they were doing with their apples.

This cider was light, not too tart and had a crisp taste. At only 3.8% alcohol, this is more for pleasure drinking than a night out of the town.

I drank this and fell asleep

A few weeks ago, outside of a music festival, some promo people were handing out cans of Mellow Mood for free.

It was a super hot day so I took one thinking the calming part wouldn’t work and I instantly got calmer and sleepier. It’s a non alcoholic drink with camomile, lavender and other natural calming agents.

It must be a high concentration of these things because as soon as I hit the pillow I was fast asleep and had the best sleep ever.

Whatever this is worked I guess but the flavour I had didn’t taste very good. 

Pizza Party at Superpoint

Categories Food, Restaurant Reviews1 Comment on Pizza Party at Superpoint

Recently, I had a work dinner at hip pizza joint, Superpoint. We did a set menu that featured something called a Pizza Party where pies kept coming.

To start, we had a fried rice ball with red sauce and cheese.

The garlic bread was heavenly, it was hard not to fill up on it.

There was a radicchio, escarole, and greens salad that had grated pecorino cheese and a light vinaigrette. We found it a tiny bit too peppery.

Their Caesar salad, however, was rather irresistible and everyone was quite a fan of the hickory sticks on top.

Their cocktail menu was extensive and this zombie-named drink had a flaming lime in it.

Our pizza party began with a Pepperoni pizza. Their pizzas had thin crusts, so it made it easier to try multiple.

The kale and mushroom pizza with white sauce provided a different flavour pallette between white sauces.

My favourite was the pie with bacon, pineapple, peppers and onions.

There was also a radicchio and gorgonzola pizza with white sauce. My photo is terrible, but the pizza was not!

Dessert was delicious fried donuts with a side of custard sauce.

I enjoyed our pizza party dinner and the back room is also a cool place to host a large group.

TIO’s Urban Mexican

Categories Food, Restaurant ReviewsLeave a Comment on TIO’s Urban Mexican

Tonight we happened to be in the Yonge & Eglington area looking for something to eat. Tio’s Urban Mexican looked like a cute spot so we decided to try it. We started with some chips, guac and pico de gallo. I liked that their chips were a mixture of potato and taro.

To drink I had a classic Paloma with grapefruit juice and tequila.

Nash ordered the Alambre: A popular mexican dish consisting of grilled beef topped with chopped bacon, peppers, caramelized onion jam, cheese and guacamole. It was served with crispy tostadas. I loved the sweet onion jam and the juicy steak.

I had the pork belly tacos with hoisin jus, onion jam, crispy carrot chips and orange crema. It was an interesting combination of sweet and savory.

Our food was super flavourful and we ordered the perfect amount for the two of us. It is slightly more expensive than other Mexican places but maybe that’s what the “Urban” in the name describes.

When you go get ice cream too much..

Categories Food, SnacksLeave a Comment on When you go get ice cream too much..

You know you go to your favourite ice cream store too much when you end up on their Instagram! Lansdowne Cone is hands down one of the best ice cream parlours in the city. Their no-nonsense flavours are the best. It’s not about toppings. It’s all about the ice cream.

They also make an effort to hire youth with disabilities, which I think is awesome. Like I need an excuse to eat more ice cream. Hahaha.

Propeller Coffee Dark Roast

Categories DrinksLeave a Comment on Propeller Coffee Dark Roast

Propeller is super close to where I live, so it’s probably going to be my go-to for beans when I am lazy. Their coffees are award winning and deservedly so.

The dark roast is bold but has the nice profile of chocolate & caramel, making it go down super easy.

Kracie Pizza Kit

I haven’t done one of these weird candy kit things in a while, and I just couldn’t resist the Pizza one.

This one had many different powder packages, as well as instructions to cut out the designs on the plastic wrap to use as fun pizza boxes and accessories.

My result was not as pretty as the perfectly round ones on the box! The pizza and fries were baked in the microwave for a short amount of time. It allowed the “cheese” to melt and dough to harden a bit.

This one was equally as bizarre as the Mini Burger set. I made a veggie pizza and one that had something that tasted like meat. The “vegetables” on the pizza was a colourful bag of dots that tasted like vegetable chips. The fries tasted like fries. The drink was a fizzy grape drink. The pizza sauce and cheese, did taste real too, with a hint of sweetness. It was all very strange. These are always funnier to make than they are to eat!

I’m on a bit of a weird snack binge lately with Green Tea Kit Kats & Swiss Chalet’s Chalet Sauce Lays. Both are unique and addictive in their own ways.
