I had the pleasure of dining at the Coup + Meet Restaurant over on 17th Ave Calgary, AB this afternoon. It was a bit of a late lunch, but it was well worth it! As it happened, I started out with their smoothie of the day; a Banana, Coconut , and Plum smoothie. The drink was refreshing, and had no…
Dined out with a friend at Notables. I decided to order their free range half chicken with their seasonal local vegetables and it was delicious. I liked how the potatoes were baked, along with the carrots, and the other vegetables weren’t over cooked. In retrospect, I could have shared my dinner due to the amount…
It is that time of year when we move away from consuming gelato’s, and cold smoothies. Instead, we opt for warm foods, and soups that help to cut down the brisk fall wind, and changing season. One such soup that needs recognizing is the Roast Carrot Soup from Boxwood Cafe. It is a deliciously smooth soup…
I had the pleasure of having a late lunch at the Mediterranean Cuisine & Grill – Shawarma & Falafel City that is located in Kensington, Calgary. I asked for the healthiest dish of food from the really friendly men that work there, and they suggested the chicken breast meal would be a great option. What an incredible…
The Apple, Beet, Carrot, and Ginger juicer drink they make at Jugo Juice is fantastic. I love this juicer drink, and thought you should know about it, as it isn’t on Jugo juices regular menu. Yet, that being said, they can make it for you! Having a juicer drink in the morning, afternoon or evening,…
I chose their Cobb Salad which was $14, and it was delicious. The salad was very fresh with almost a half a head of romaine lettuce, with sun-dried tomatoes, blue cheese, avocado, bacon bits, lardon egg, and dill buttermilk dressing on top. There might have been a few pickled onions, as well. It was a…
I have to say The Raw Bar’s Lemongrass Coconut Braised Chicken Curry was a feast for the eyes. The colours in this dish made it that much more amazing to marvel at, and consume. There were locally sourced potatoes, rainbow carrots, sugar snap peas, and there was the most tender chicken within the lemongrass coconut curry…
I’m in love with healthy soups, and the warmth they bring during the winter months. I had the pleasure of having lunch at Primal Soup Co., recently. Here’s what I had… The Turkey Sandwich with a bowl of Tomato Basil soup and it was all very delicious. They used their homemade signature bread for the…
I had the West Coast Chop Salad which I highly recommend you try! It has fresh greens, pea shoots, avocado chunks, english cucumber, dried cranberries, candied almonds, dried chick peas, and goat cheese. The honey-dijon vinaigrette dressing wasn’t heavy at all. The salad was $12.75 which was reasonable for the size and quality of the…
Apple Berry Breakfast Crumble- Communitea This dish is healthy, comforting, and satisfying. It also isn’t too sweet. It has fresh cooked berries and apples in it topped with fresh granola. You can also have a side of organic yogourt with this dish. These whole fruits are cooked in water and spices, and it’s served…
Salmon Lox Buckwheat Crepe – Rustique Bistro I am in love with this little Bistro on Bowen Island. Everything about it is lovely. Where to start! The foods they use in their dishes are as locally sourced as possible, and the quality is excellent. While visiting Bowen Island, I went to this restaurant two times.…
