Day Four Eating in the City
Yea, I’m definitely a creature of habit. This morning I returned to Cafe Artigiano for my breakfast. As well as a cup of drip coffee (an excellent cup of coffee) I had a cheese scone. I love cheese scones – but this was not good. Far too dense. My sidekick had a parfait which was…

Day Three Eating in the City
One of my guiding principles as I visit the downtown of Vancouver is to sample unique, non-chain restaurants. Breka Bakery and Cafe sort of falls into that category even though there are now a number of locations. As I do at home, I enjoy starting my day quite early with a cup of black coffee.…

Day Two Eating in the City
Breakfast in the city doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive – although nothing is inexpensive anywhere these days! So for breakfast I walked over to Cafe Artigiano on Hornby Street.

Apple Juice in the Vitamix
I’ve had a Vitamix “whole food processor” for about 20 years now and while I don’t use it all that often anymore, when I do use it, the results are usually pretty much 100% tasty. This weekend just gone, I was watching Let it Mix on Instagram make apple juice on with her Vitamix and…

Enjoy National Pizza Day
The following post is sponsored by National Today and Top Agency. As with all content on this blog, all content, ideas, and opinions are my own. February 9th is National Pizza Day and that got me thinking; is there any food as perfect as pizza? Pizza. Basically bread, tomato paste or sauce, veggies, sometimes meat,…

Kozak Ukrainian Eatery
The best thing to do on a cold and and rainy afternoon after you have just discovered that the last four hours of work you have done on a computer has not saved – go for a bowl of soup. Yesterday I was writing report cards – every teacher’s favourite way to while away the…
