Australian beauty-brand Aesop has opened their first Toronto store in the Queen Street West neighbourhood! I checked out the store for a brief moment & had a peek at what they have to offer!
Calling all foodies! Here’s an event that you don’t want to miss! Clear your calendars and head out to Taste of Toronto happening July 2 to 5.
I have probably said this a thousand times and I will say it a thousand more times: The year that I turned 25 (in 2013 – on October 25th might I add) would be a year that would bring plenty of changes. I know most people expect change when they turn a quarter of century. They reflect on where they are at in life, where they want to be, who they want to be with, etc. etc. etc. Well that was exactly what happened to me. I moved, I changed jobs, my long-term relationship ended, I changed my eating habits (started eating breakfast that is), I started running (never thought that would happen), I went off to Europe by myself (not as scary as you think) and I cut my hair. Now I know what you’re probably thinking – ‘How cliché. She cut her hair after a breakup.‘ Well let me tell you something – I was not intending to cut my hair initially. It just happened. Seriously. About a month ago I visited the Anthony Passero …
If you haven’t already been, and I suggest you do, check out Liberty Village hotspot LOCAL (and make sure to bring an appetite too!). When LOCAL opened up in Liberty Village, I was ecstatic. Why? Not only was my little brother was going to be a chef there, but the restaurant is owned by none other than the JOEY Restaurant Group (JOEY Restaurants are a favourite of mine – love those spring-roll mash potatoes!). The atmosphere at the Local is great, especially if you are looking for a casual but fun place to have dinner. Speaking of fun, they have a shuffle board in the restaurant which guests are encouraged to use! And whenever we had “summer-y” days here in Toronto the patio was packed! Most of the dishes may be familiar to you, but what won’t be familiar are the unexpected ingredients or additions to the dishes. Avocado with nachos? Steak on garlic toast? Churros to dip in hot melted chocolate with marshmallows? Yummm! Now the pictures that you are about to see were taken during two visits to …
Have you tried the new(ish) app from Instagram? Hyperlapse takes videos recorded in real time and drastically (and dramatically) speeds them up. It’s supposed to give a cinematic quality to your videos. I tried the app out a few times already, but now that I should be focusing on what I eat and how I exercise (soccer season is right around the corner), I figured it would be a good way to record the recipes I use and create, and to showcase how I make them. I figured I would start off with one of my absolute favourite salad recipes – a tomato and cucumber salad with onion and feta. I love making this salad! Super easy and super simple (only five ingredients needed). Watch to see how I made this salad recipe: Tomato Cucumber Salad with Feta 2 tomatoes 1 cucumber 1/2 of a small onion 1 tablespoon of olive oil 3/4 cup of Feta Slice and dice the cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Mix all three into a dish and add the tablespoon of …
