Eat at Jack’s #FpF

March 14, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago we went out for a belated Valentine's Day dinner, and it looked like this.... That little pot of roasted veggies was divine. The salmon and rice were perfect. I love everything about eating at Jack's Gastropub and if it wasn't 50 minute drive from our house I guarantee we'd be there regularly. (Last year my husband wrote a review about one of our … [Read more...]

Eating In at the Delta Meadowvale, #BlissDomCA #FpF

March 7, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Recently they announced the dates and locations for this year's Blissdom Canada.  It's a repeat performance, to be held once again at the Delta Meadowvale in Mississauga. The one thing I found frustrating about this location was the lack of restaurants within walking distance. Which means unless you were hoping in a cab or car-pooling, you were eating on site at the hotel … [Read more...]

My Favourite I Didn’t Cook It Dinner, Nachos #FpF

February 28, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I wrote before about how, after much experimentation, I figured out how to make non-soggy restaurant style nachos at home. Apparently there are tons of people out there trying to figure out how to make nachos at home, because I get people heading to my blog after searching " how do you make nachos so the cheese..." or "how to make restaurant style nachos" via Google on a … [Read more...]

Seize the Cheesecake! #FpF

February 7, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

So there's this place not far from my house called Mrs Jones Cafe & Cheesecake Co. and while I've eaten there at least a dozen times over the years I've never tried their cheesecake. And I mean they make a big deal about their cheesecake. It's what they're know for. It's in the name of the darn restaurant, yet somehow I've never tried it. Mainly it's because I'm not big on … [Read more...]

Build Your Own Sushi, Making Kid Friendly Sushi

January 24, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant 10 Comments

Last Friday was a P.A. day and one of our special activities for the day was to make "build your own" sushi. Just after we finished our sushi party lunch, I had a friend send me a message on Facebook saying, "Hey, I remember before you mentioned making sushi with your kids. How the heck do you do that? I want to try it. What should I buy?" The ensuing conversation left me … [Read more...]

January 17, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My hubby has been experimenting with these. It's basically pizza toppings tucked inside pre-made biscuit dough. Easy and surprisingly delicious.  If you're curious, you can check out his recipe here. … [Read more...]

When Life Gives You Peaches… Peach Cobbler Recipe for #FoodPicFriday

August 30, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Peaches are in season. My kids can't seem to decide if they love them or not. I get constant requests to chop up peaches and then they eat maybe half the of bowl. Which is of course driving me bats. Given that I have handfuls of pre-chopped peaches kicking around, I thought why not make a cobbler? Here's the recipe I came up with: Peaches, about 4 cups worth sliced. 1/4 … [Read more...]

For this weeks #FordPornFriday I present my all-time favourite food.... Sushi! I could eat sushi seven days a week and never ever get sick of it. Yum. Yum. Yum. This delectable platter here was served to us at a lovely local Windsor restaurant called The Sushi California. Dang. Just looking at this photo has me plotting when we can fit in a return visit. #FoodPornFriday is … [Read more...]

A Sunday Afternoon Snack, Yogurt Chocolate Cups {#FoodPornFriday}

July 19, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I wasn't kidding when I said before that Olympic Dairy Yogurt is now tops my "Put This In The Cart Every Shopping Trip" list. The Krema Greek style yogurt is soooooo delicious. Take my new found obsession with Krema yogurt and add in the fact that I had these dark chocolate "Chocolux Chocolate Victoria Cups" in the house, having brought them home from the Food Bloggers of … [Read more...]
