After calling Windsor home for the past three years, our last night in the city was bittersweet. We spent the day packing, and at night headed to Point Pelee, where we took about a dozen selfies, collected some pretty rocks, and watched two currents meet while the sun set in the distance. Everyone was happy….

Cronuts x Windsor
Windsor has a unique way of doing things (driving, parking, spring – it’s currently snowing) and sometimes it’s a little questionable. But one thing I never ever question is its take on the “cronut”. Blak’s Bakery in Windsor literally takes a whole croissant, deep fries it and then douses it in a sweet orange glaze….
Dinner at Acapulco Delight
On Friday, we gave in to the giant Mexican food craving that we’d been having for weeks. Windsor has a few Mexican restaurants, but my favourite is Acapulco Delight. It doesn’t open until 7pm, so most people go there to fill their tummies at 3am, as they’re stumbling home from a night out at Level…
February Favourites
February is one of my favourite months. In a single month, we celebrate my mother’s birthday, a favourite’s birthday, our anniversary and Valentine’s Day. And on top of that, it’s peak parka and blanket scarf season. It’s a month of white hot chocolates and great food. What’s not to love? We celebrated our anniversary at…
BBQ x 2
When I woke up yesterday, I could not believe it was already November. October flew by, and I’m sure November will do the same. It will be Christmas before we know it. October was a great month – it saw minimal school and an unhealthy number of dinners out. Case in point: southern barbeque two…
Three Salads
Anyone who knows me knows I do not like salad. I don’t care if it’s a spinach, radicchio, kale, arugula, or endive salad – they are all equally unappealing to me. That said, there are three that I can tolerate (and might even love): Panzanella Salad: little grape or cherry tomatoes are my favourite, and…
Pie for Breakfast
One of the best things about farmers markets (my dad would argue that it’s the worst) is wanting to try everything and buying way too much. Last time we were at the farmer’s market, we bought a few unnecessary things, including a bottle of local riesling and a strawberry rhubarb pie. But it was so…
Windsor’s Farmers Market
When I decided to stay in Windsor for the summer, one of my biggest concerns was missing out on the Vancouver farmer’s markets. However, I’m happy to report that I’ve discovered the downtown Windsor farmer’s market. It’s very much like the Trout Lake market – minus beer-brined chicken sandwiches – and I’ve fallen in love….
The Willistead X 3
I had three of my last seven dinners at The Willistead. The food is on trend, local, and done well. And dessert is always on point. I try to get something different whenever I’m there, but I can’t seem to stay away from their fried chicken sandwich – it’s crunchy and yummy and messy in…
Ricotta + a wood-fired oven
When I was little, the only type of pizza I could ever imagine consuming was cheese pizza. It didn’t matter where I was or who was making the pizza, if there was anything other than cheese on it, I wasn’t going to touch it. Today not much has changed – a cheese pizza is still…
The Earnest Bagel Company
It’s no secret that I love bagels: plain, blueberry, everything, sesame, topped with cream cheese, Nutella, hummus or PB & J. Back in undergrad, my favourite was chocolate chip, toasted with extra butter. I never expected to find some of the best right here in Windsor. The first time I ever had them was on…
Snow Day/Morning After
The Monday after the Super Bowl was a snow day – it snowed before the game and during the game. It continued to fall on the late night walk home (cabs were nowhere to be found), and into the morning. Monday was cold and some of us were still having difficulty coming to terms with…
