Tim Hortons 50th Birthday Donut

May18

 

Earlier today, we stopped by Tim Hortons, after hearing they were giving out free donuts. For their 50th birthday, they created a birthday cake donut, which they gave out. It was glazed, and had confetti candy pieces, baked inside. It was OK, but one I wouldn’t have again…

Fruit Owl!!

As you all know by now, I love owls…especially cute ones. And this fruit owl, made up of grapefruit, orange, mandarin, banana and blueberries, is no exception…and edible to boot. Will have to remember this, for when we have little ones!!

Our Easter Sunday Dinner

Apr21

We decided to make a pork roast this year, so we grabbed this lovely centre cut from Whole Foods. One of these years will attempt to roast lamb…just need to muster the courage!! LOL

To accompany the roast, we also roasted brussel sprouts and mushrooms, along with our go to garlic smashed potatoes to sop up the mushroom gravy…omnomnom!!

Turkish Sucuklu Tost (Turkish Grilled Sausage and Cheese Sandwich)

Apr19

When I got up this morning, I was craving Turkish tost for breakfast. Traditionally it’s made with ‘Kasar’ cheese, which is perfect for melting, and gets all ooey gooey when toasted. Unfortunately, we can’t get Kasar cheese here, so the closest thing to it in North America – is Mozzarella. I had a, shredded cheese mixture of cheddar and mozzarella, so I used that this morning. I also added ‘Sucuk’, which is Turkish Sausage. This is another variation in the sandwich, and our very favourite. I sprinkled a little of the cheese on the bread (I used light rye), placed a few slices of sausage, and then another sprinkling of cheese on top. I then placed it on our griddler, set to high, and toasted it for 8-10mins. And voila, you have yourself a Turkish grilled cheese!! One of Turkey’s most popular, and beloved comfort foods…

Bacon Cheddar Scone from Whole Foods

Apr18

My hubby and I were at Whole Foods recently, and I saw this scone and had to take one home. We were SO excited to give it a try, because let’s be honest, bacon makes EVERYTHING better right?! And it was good, though a bit too salty for our tastes, and it could’ve used bacon throughout…not just on top.

Cannoli From Lazar Bakery in Mississauga

Apr10

There’s nothing like, having a nice cup of tea and sharing a cannoli, with the one you love!! Lazar Bakery, is a wonderful place, specializing in Portuguese/Italian groceries. They have a vast pastry and cake section, which is THE reason, why we go there only once in a while LOL This time around we got a large cannoli (our usual), as well as a strawberry and coconut tart, which we haven’t had yet. They also have, a great hot table in the back, with a lot of comfort food. If you’re ever in Mississauga, make sure to make a stop, at Lazar Bakery. You won’t be disappointed!!
