I’m home from another long-weekend Thunder Bay trip to see Adam (and the always adorable, Lily). Being the long-distance, food-loving couple that we are, we spent the majority of the weekend eating, and it was the best. Here’s a rundown of our weekend consumption: I arrived pretty late on Friday night, so we stayed in with…

Le Petit Dejeuner
I’ve been living in Toronto full-time for almost three months now, and I’ve been making my way through its food scene. Admittedly, it’s been a little disappointing, but I’ve found a few spots that have become my go-to’s: Cluny for brunch, Maker for pizza, Miku for sushi (it’s also one of my go-to spots in…
Labour Day Weekend
I’ve spent the better part of my life in school so this past Labour Day weekend was a little different. Instead of getting ready to fly back to Windsor, we spent the weekend being tourists in a city that we’ll likely be calling home for the next few years. We went to the aquarium and…
Brunch Two Ways
Anyone who knows me knows that Mediterranean-inspired Café Medina in Vancouver is my favourite place for breakfast or brunch. I’m notorious for getting to work late because I’ve gotten off the train during rush hour to grab a waffle to go. On a cold and cloudy winter morning, there’s no better way to warm up…
Pancakes and Friends
Apart from exams, I’m officially done my first year of law school and I’m one giant mess of emotions. One minute I’ve never been happier and I’m weepy and wistful, the next. On the one hand, I’m wishing I was home in Vancouver where the magnolias are in full bloom and on the other, I…
Brunch at The Flying Pig
The Flying Pig is now one of my favourite places to go for brunch. There was an hour-long wait at Café Medina, so we decided to wander down Water Street in Gastown, and happened upon The Flying Pig. Why we’ve never eaten there is actually beyond me. I had the French toast – thick-cut brioche…
Family Weekend: Saturday
This past three-day weekend has proven to be very busy, and very much filled with family. I feel like I’m running on four hours of sleep, yet I’m strangely awake, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The reality of the fact that I’ve got less than a month left here has set in,…
Pies and things
One of my favourite places for all things baked and brunch is the Savary Island Pie Co. in West Vancouver. It’s convenient too, only a few minutes from Ambleside beach where Stella likes to play. A fantastic apple pie (an incredibly flaky crust filled with slightly tart apples) isn’t all they do: perfect tea cakes (raspberry…
B is for Brunch
Brunch has got to be one of my favourite meals. It’s the only time having hollandaise, bacon, waffles, eggs, and champagne in one meal is acceptable, even encouraged. Over the years, I’ve found a few spots that have become my favourites in Vancouver (and elsewhere, but we’ll save that for another post) – Burgoo and…
Medina Brunch
This morning my mom babysat Stella while I had a much-needed brunch with some of my favourites. Café Medina has been my go-to brunch spot for years, so I should’ve known that we’d be waiting awhile in rainy seven degree weather, yet somehow, I managed to show up in Keds and without a cup of…
