Dill Pickle Crock-Pot Bits & Bites

May 25, 2020 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Yes, I am going through a major dill pickle phase! I have always been a dill pickle fanatic but lately, even more so. When I saw Fake Ginger’s Dill Pickle Chex Mix there was no stopping me from making it! I love bits and bites and have made them before, once in the oven and […]

The Drinks of Summer & Pumpkin Spice Invasion

September 25, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

One of the few summer rituals I had this summer (since it was cut in half recovering from my fall down the stairs) was going to cafes with my sister Jamie’s Studio Yearbook to get back to journalling and try out summer drinks all over the place. Hence why I did all those Suzie The Foodie […]

August 17, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

You know I LOVE McDonald’s Coffee Iced Frappé! I was crazy for it until I almost ended up in the hospital when I realized… Yes, it is actually made with REAL coffee beans! Which I did not know because I originally went straight to their page on ingredients and allergens: Says nothing about coffee or […]

Taste Of The Danforth 2018

August 12, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Taste Of The Danforth is one of the largest food events in Toronto so of course I had to go. Not just for the food but to support the community after such an atrocity had taken place not that long ago. I had never been before and I was not going to be bullied by […]

Super Easy & Simple Rootbeer Float Popsicles

July 25, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

  All of the President’s Choice product reviews have been fun but I need a bit of a break and so it is time to play with food! My favourite popsicles growing up were banana and rootbeer. Both flavours seem to have disappeared so I decided to come up with my own version of rootbeer […]

Suzie the Foodie’s 2016 Harvest

September 13, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

We have a tiny little gardening box in our backyard. Last year we grew radishes and carrots (and when I say we, I mean Reg). This year Reg planted multicoloured carrot seeds!  The weather was unusually wet and cool at first this summer in Vancouver.  But the heat did finally kick in and what a growing season! […]

May 5, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

It is getting hot in Vancouver!

When life gives you sad-looking limes… I was surprised […]
