January 15, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 20 Comments

The Venue I will admit. I am just about the last person you would expect to go to Gluten Free Expo. I would be just as likely to go to the Lift Cannabis Expo or the Fertility & Adoption Expo going on at Canada Place at the same time. The venue already made me nervous […]

Foodie Best and Worst of 2017

January 1, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Personal Accomplishment 2017 is coming to an end and wow, what a crappy year I have had. This time last year my kitchen ceiling was threatening to cave in due to a leaky roof and look! It still has not been fixed although the landlord finally did get us a new roof. Also, nothing like […]

I was super excited when I heard that Tim Hortons wanted to deliver their 2017 holiday beverages and treats to my door! They came yesterday morning as I was in the middle of baking bread (of course) so I got to have a bite and sip of EVERYTHING for breakfast. I know, poor me, but […]

Last Day at the PNE

Becoming A Discerning Foodie Lunch with a friend on the weekend was supposed to be simple. We choose Bandidas Taqueria at 2781 Commercial Drive on Saturday afternoon.

I hope you have a wonderful Earth Day this Saturday April 22nd! I wanted to honour our oceans in particular this year and say thanks for all the fish. In particular, the tuna. To do so I came up with a new take on the tuna melt. I got out my waffle maker and made tuna […]
