Coming Home To Kitchen Stuff Plus!

August 15, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

There are not a lot of foodie places in Toronto that feel like home for me. My journey with food did not start until after I left university and moved to Ottawa and had to learn how to cook for myself. For real. Like, to survive, all the time. I remember coming back to visit […]

Foodie Wishes Coming True

August 4, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

For a while now, I have felt lost. Physically I was feeling worse and worse and sleeping less and less. Then one day I went to Value Village for a pair of pink pants. I just wanted some light comfy pink pants and I found some with cupcakes on them! I don’t know why I […]

Embracing a retro kitchen

November 7, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

When I first started my blog, I really wanted my kitchen to be my studio. I loved my tall matching glass apothecary jars. It made me feel like I could earn a Martha Stewart stamp of approval. Which for some reason, mattered to me. It all started with this coffee maker our friends Gareth and […]

Letting Stuff Go?

Tutorial on how to season cast iron coming soon! Why? Why when I know I am moving and have to downsize did I go out yesterday and buy this amazing cast iron fajita pan for $7? I blame my five-year quest for a barbecue. Since we moved here five years ago, I have wanted a […]

Summer Finds

When I left for Toronto, I took very little clothing with me. I knew winter would be ending fairly soon so I took some basics and bought clothes as the temperatures changed at Value Village. But of course, I did not buy just clothes. Oh no. I have always been a huge fan of what […]

Copper pots and a heartbreak sandwich to go

May 23, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Yesterday was one of the longest days of my life. Only I would schedule a dentist’s appointment to help the day go by faster. Not to worry, nothing serious. Just got fitted for another new night guard. Life has been so stressful I have bitten right through the one I have and my teeth are […]

Shopping Therapy: Silk Road Spice Merchant

June 14, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

I can not tell you how excited I was to open up a box of herbs and spices from The Silk Road Spice Merchant! To find a Canadian seller of hard-to-find culinary herbs was so tough to do. In fact I could not do it on my own. I asked for help on Twitter and […]

My newsletter subscribers know all about this new line of blog posts! I have decided to write about local treasures that I find for my kitchen. Life has been a little exceptionally challenging and difficult so I have been partaking in some shopping therapy, investing in pretty tools and vessels for my foodie photos. It all started […]

A culinary dream come true

While participating in Circe’s Circle, Jamie led Tammy and me on many wonderful guided visual meditations. Almost every time I ended up wandering a lovely market, smelling the perfectly ripe tomatoes and talking to people about what was for dinner tonight. I was almost always in Paris which is a whole other story, I dubbed […]
