I really love subscription boxes. The mystery of a fun “gift to myself” month after month is pretty appealing. As someone who is also in love with exploring food, I love finding food-related boxes that actually ship to Canada. Canadians will be excited to find that Love with Food has just launched internationally and …
Keira loves reading time. I can get her to do just about anything by bribing her with a book. She also happens to love cheeseburger Happy Meals from McDonald’s, or as she calls it, “the fries house”. Kids across the country just like her are going to be thrilled that McDonald’s Canada has …
For as long as I can remember my choice of tea has always been orange pekoe and I can tell you that I’ve been trained to make the perfect pot of tea. I can also tell you that my husband thinks that the English way of making tea and the habit of never washing …
I’ve been pretty careful about what I am eating this year and I’ve been really enjoying Nature’s Path Qi’a Superfood cereal. I love the texture and flavour but it’s also super amazing nutritionally! I was pretty excited, as you can imagine, to learn that Nature’s Path created Nature’s Path Qi’a Superfood Snack Bars, packed with …
I love my coffee. It’s pretty much an addiction for me – I start my day with one and end it with one too – and usually a few more in between those two. I usually drink my coffee black but every now and then I like to treat myself to a specialty …

When it comes to breakfast I love to keep it simple. When I was 16 I went on a trip to Cuba where I fell in love with the traditional Cuban breakfast of espresso with milk, fresh fruit and a simple piece of grilled bread. It’s something I still enjoy most mornings myself although I …

I don’t normally set resolutions, but this year I made it my goal to focus on eating better and getting more exercise in every day. I’ve significantly cut down on sugar and increased my protein, fibre and water intake which helps me to get through the day without any major binging on naughty snacks. I’ve been …
Last week I was invited to attend a blogger event at the brand new Weber Grill Academy in Vaughan, Ontario. It is Canada’s first and only cooking school dedicated to the art and skill of grilling. I was looking forward to experiencing a very unique hands-on culinary experience that has been custom designed to …
There is nothing like fresh fruit, something warm and toasted and coffee at breakfast. Muffins smothered in butter, fresh doughnuts still a little bit warm, and who can forget cinnamon buns and don’t forget danishes. All delicious treats but so full of unnecessary calories and fat. I usually stick with oatmeal and half a grapefruit …

As a child I always looked forward to “treat” nights where we would get a small cup of pop and my dad would make up a big bowl of air popped popcorn complete with salt and butter for us to share. It was a once a month type of event in our household which is …
I love drinking Green Tea. I love tea in general but Green Tea has so many health benefits and its naturally sweet tasting so I tend to reach for it more often. When Kiss Me Organics reached out to me to review their Organic Green Tea Powder I was pretty interested. I had heard about …
I recently had the opportunity to visit the KFC test kitchen and experience what goes on behind the scenes. This included an exciting (and delicious!) reveal of the brand new Sweet Chili Crunch Chicken.
