I’m a firm believer in the old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I’d like to share my recipe for a healthy, added-sugar-free breakfast smoothie. This quick and delicious smoothie recipe makes enough for one tall glass, but can easily be doubled for two people. I like to have […]
A couple of weeks ago Wendy and I attended the Ra Energy product launch at Nuba in Kitsilano. Ra Energy is a local company that produces seed mixtures to top your favourite foods with to add texture, flavour, and nutritional value. Ra comes in garlic, plain, and naturally sweet varieties. They teamed up with Nuba […]
T-dog and I have been frequenting the Royal City Farmers Market this summer. The last time we went we had the best snow cones ever from Frostbites. It has still been pretty hot lately so it was the best type of weather to have one. Now these are not your kiddie snow cones from yesteryear […]
Howdy, it’s Hitman here to start off this first post of a series where we’re going to review several restaurants we dined at during a recent trip to Victoria for my sister’s wedding. Victoria is notoriously hit and miss for the food scene, and I’ve had my share of misses there but thankfully this trip […]
A while ago I bought a bag of Spartan apples because they were so cheap…around $2 a bag. Now I know they’re not the best apples for eating (very thick and tough peel) but peeled and made into a Curried Chicken salad they were great.
By now you must’ve heard of quinoa by now…the “superfood”? “Ancient grain”?? Well superfood or not, it is a great substitute for a rice and…..flour!!

One of our excursion during out time in Kyoto was to the district of Arashiyama 嵐山. It was a touristy, extremely picturesque destination with a lovely river running between two small mountains. A bridge connects the two sides. A semi-hidden attraction is the natural bamboo forest. For L and I it took a little bit to […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. This would be my second time to Foundation. My first time at The Foundation was very favorable so I organized another dinner there. This time with more people so we can order more food! And it was definitely a plus. With more people we were able to order a pitcher […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. I had a day out with Miz Brown Sugar in Downtown and we were planning to have lunch too. Since Miz Brown Sugar was vegan, I was left with the task of finding a suitable restaurant. I actually didn’t realize how hard it was to find a vegan restaurant in Downtown. […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Now I’m a complete carnivore. I don’t think I’ll ever become a vegetarian or live off veggies alone. However like most people that like to eat, I’m open to pretty much anything, so when a friend came back from Japan and we were to meet up for dinner, her […]
