Hello! It’s been a while since my last recipe but I’m back in the kitchen again and today I’m going to share an easy 5 ingredient chicken feta pasta recipe by www.wellplated.com that I can’t wait for you guys to try yourselves! Feta isn’t often my 1st choice of cheese to use on a pasta but after attending a FETA PDO event recently, I felt like it was important for me to share what I’ve learned from the tasting. This event inspired me to use some of the feta PDO cheese that I found inside our goodie bag, and I’ve written more about feta and the event below. ALSO READ – Greek Lemon Chicken Recipe…

A couple of Saturdays ago, Eden and I were looking for brunch spots in the East End and randomly passed by YAYA. The restaurant looked busy from the outside but had enough space to accommodate the two of us so we walked right in to give it a try! Since our first visit, we’ve been back at Yaya’s a few times and this place has not disappointed us. Their brunch menu is extensive, the food is always consistent, service is very warm and friendly – it’s a very solid spot if you’re looking for a simple brunch. The best part about Yaya’s (at least for me), is they pride themselves using Ontario Farmers – this…
As I’m sitting at my desk drafting this post, I’ve realized in a blink of an eye, come September is my 5 years working downtown Toronto. Time seriously flies. One of the restaurants that I frequent after work in the downtown core is REDS Wine Tavern inside First Canadian Place (due to its convenient location). While I can totally rave about their lobster guacamole dip all day, I was totally caught off guard to see a brunch menu & full on bakery section happening inside REDS at Square One Shopping Mall. The best thing about this REDS inside Square One Shopping mall is that they have a mini “walk through” window for shoppers looking to pick…

The Rogers Cup took place earlier last month from August 5th to 13th at the Aviva Centre. With Toronto hosting The Rogers Cup this year for its 125th anniversary, we were tres excited to take part of an evening with great eats and incredible game play. Our evening consisted of us taking front row seats for celebrity Chef David Rocco’s cooking demonstration, where he and Garbiñe Muguruza (2017 Wimbledon Champion) showed us how to make his infamous Cavatelli pasta. We then tasted our way through the revamped Rogers Cup menu including pulled pork poutine, brisket parfait, poke bowls, tacos, quinoa salad and epic topped foot long hot dogs. After our tummies were satisfied, we were…
Working in the financial district, I know how difficult at times it can be to figure out what to order in to the office with all the overwhelming choices. Sometimes when you’re too busy to leave the office, the restaurants that you’re craving for may not necessarily offer delivery services.

They partner with high-quality, local restaurants and focus on environmentally friendly delivery methods. Their website is pretty easy to navigate.

Several weeks ago, myself and Sandi (from Foodaholic Blog) ventured off to the west end of town on a Friday evening to visit The Good Fork. The Good Fork is pretty well known for their brunch offerings during the weekend. However, the restaurant is also opened for dinner service for Thursday and Friday evenings only. Steps away from Jane Subway Station, the two story restaurant makes quite the cozy establishment. Seating along the sides of the restaurant with the kitchen along the back provides ample amount of seating for brunch and dinner service. The menu at The Good Fork changes weekly. However, I was informed that their most popular dishes remain on the menu for…
