October 9, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

When we were moving from Lower Sackville to Vancouver, there were several days we needed to stay in a hotel while the move was happening. Thanks to my Auntie Laima, I found out about the Comfort Inn located at 560 Bedford Hwy. She and my uncle stayed there when they came to visit the east coast […]

Every year Reg and I try to get out to the Mahone Bay Pirate Festival and despite the chaos that is our lives right now, we managed to do it again this year! We usually get all dressed up but this year, toned it down a little. As Reg said, “You never go full pirate!” We […]

Dining Out: The OK & The Awesome

My Auntie Laima (my mom’s sister) and Uncle Meinhard drove all the way to the east coast to bring me a fancy sewing machine and show me how to use it. She also helped me use this machine to teach me the basics of sewing. While they were here, we went on a few foodie […]

Tour of SugaRush in Lower Sackville

I could not believe it! One day I was leaving my library and spotted across the street at 619 Sackville Drive a candy store. It had appeared while I was in Toronto and it is called… SugaRush! They apparently have the best slushies in Sackville. So of course, I had to go inside. I was […]

Not a lot of foodie news going right now and I think I need a break from reality. As a result, Reg and I went to the Mahone Bay Pirate Festival on Saturday. All we had for lunch were the strongest Iced Capps in the world! OMG, they were crazy. The woman working there loved […]

Salt Shaker Deli, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

The last time Jamie visited we drove down to Lunenburg and had coffee and cookies at Salt Shaker Deli. I have dreamed of those cookies ever since! I took this photo of them back in April. This time they did not have any by the time we showed up in late afternoon for a little bit […]

Our Nova Scotia Foodie Adventures!

August 25, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

We started off our visit together with a drive to Windsor, Nova Scotia. I love this little town. As a big fan of the TV show The Gilmore Girls, this town reminds me so much of Stars Hollow. Sadly the big trip started off with a bit of a hiccup. The Snapdragon Cafe & Bakery […]

Long weekend searching for food

May 23, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Yesterday we planned to go to downtown Halifax with our friends Kelly & Eric for some Cows ice cream and seafood. They are leaving Halifax and this was our last weekend hanging out together and we were determined to check off a bunch of stuff on their bucket list. But! There was a marathon downtown which […]

Finding foodie inspiration at Il Mercato & Freak Lunchbox

Last night my friends took me out to Il Mercato in Bedford for dinner. It was exactly what I needed! Sometimes you have to recharge those foodie batteries by being pampered and indulge in beautiful food with wonderful company. I have been to this Il Mercato a couple of times now and each time the […]

Restaurant Review: Fredie’s Fantastic Fish House in Clayton Park, Nova Scotia

When you ask about the best fish ‘n chips around here, which you would think would cause a food fight or at least an intense competitive dialogue, you actually end up hearing the same name over and over: Fredie’s. Ever since I moved to Nova Scotia my mother-in-law has been telling me about Fredie’s Fantastic […]
