Adventures In Pandemic Shopping

May 19, 2020 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Thanks to a special someone out there who took pity on me and my pandemic food shopping in a brand new neighbourhood in Toronto situation, I was gifted with a Quik Cart. I am so grateful and you are about to see why! The Cart I have had a “granny cart” in the past but […]

Family To The Pandemic Rescue!

April 22, 2020 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I can not get food delivery or even pick up in this part of Toronto and I do not drive so my Auntie Laima and Uncle Meinhard came to my rescue! They can still get the currently impossible-to-find baking supplies and did a shop for me. And so much more! Oh I am so grateful […]

Celena’s Bakery & Mother’s Day

May 14, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

If there is one place in Toronto I have been to the most since the big move, it is Celena’s Bakery. Located at 2036 Danforth Avenue, this is one of the only places in the winter where you will always enjoy your hot beverage in a warm space. That is because everything is baked fresh […]

Epic Foodie Day With Auntie Laima!

May 1, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Some days are magical. Some days lift you out of the abyss and make you feel wonderful. I had that day last week when my sisters and I went to visit our Auntie Laima and Uncle Meinhard. We had beautiful weather (which was a bit of a miracle in and of itself) and a lovely […]

High Tea with Suzie the Foodie

September 11, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

Some events change your life. For me it was High Tea at The Royal York Hotel. Getting dressed up can honestly give me hives. I have been known to break down into tears and curse like a sailor at the same time before leaving for a fancy event. I hate getting dressed up. I abhor all […]

Mother’s Day @ The Mandarin

May 12, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

I made it! I took the red-eye to Toronto on Saturday night and a few hours later on Mother’s Day my sisters and I headed to Mandarin to honour our mom who loved that restaurant so very much. It was a mad house! We had reservations but there was still quite a wait and man, was it […]

Food Critic Inspiration

July 26, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

My mom was (OK, weird to type “was”) always fiercely opinionated when it came to food. I never knew if she was going to like something or if a dish was going to let her down. The last time we went out for food together was to Caplansky’s Delicatessen. She had just been through her last […]

Happy Mothers Day

May 12, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I have been spending a lot of time with my mom lately (lucky me!) and today we are going to go over to her place and celebrate Mothers Day with scones, chocolate-covered pretzels… and feast on a family foodie tradition: beef and cabbage casserole for dinner. Happy Mothers Day to all those amazing women who […]

High Tea for Mother’s Day with PC Black Label Produces

May 8, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Did we ever get spoiled by President’s Choice again! I got to try out some of their Black Label products while having a High Tea experience for my Mom and my sisters. We put them through the test to make sure that they were Mother’s Day worthy and absolutely impressive. I chose Mixed Berry Tea, Truffles […]

As I continue to get over my second winter cold I continue to reminisce over the positive foodie experience I had during the holidays. One big thumbs up goes to my sister Shannon‘s Clark Bars. I rarely get to go home and be with my family for Christmas and this is a new foodie famly hit I […]
