Can you believe the holidays are almost here?! If you’re still looking for some last minute gift ideas, you’ve come to the right place! This year AngryRussian and I wanted to do more experience gifts rather than material gifts, so what’s better than to look at some food-related experiences?! Now these are in no particular […]
Recently Wendy was given the opportunity to receive, and review, a new beer-related product, and who better to lend a hand than myself, the beer-loving AngryRussian! The exciting new invention was the uPint insulated steel pint cup by GrowlerWerks ($32CAD). GrowlerWerks is a Portland company that created the uKeg, a portable stainless steel growler that keeps your […]
Not too long ago, I was contacted by the meal prep company Fresh Prep to see if I was interested in trying out their services. Fresh Prep is a local company that provides a meal ingredients delivery service where each delivery comes with all the ingredients along with the recipe you choose to make a […]
Lentils to me had always been thought of as a vegan/vegetarian staple, not for a meat-lover like me. In fact, when I think of lentils, the only preparation that comes to mind is lentil soup. So when I received an invite to a popup dinner organized by Canadian Lentils, with Chefs Pino Posteraro of Cioppino’s […]
It was my pup Tormund’s (as in Tormund Giantsbane…you know?? Game of Thrones??) 2nd birthday yesterday and I splurged on a doggy birthday cupcake for him this year. I’m not a pet spoiler and I don’t usually give him treats so this was special for both him and I. I went to a local pet […]

Hot off the heels of the Healthy Family Expo comes the trades-only Canadian Health Food Association‘s Conference and Tradeshow CHFA West and it was with pleasure and excitement that I was able to attend. It’s always interesting to see what the upcoming trends are in the food world, and this year, it seems like anything […]
I reviewed Trader Joe’s Thai “Dry” Chili Paste a while back and a few readers have commented how they couldn’t find it in their local store. So we just figured it was a seasonal item or discontinued. Then today I got a comment from a reader Eugenie and she told us this: “I just used […]
I love gardening. I really do, so I was especially excited when Mercola contacted me to sponsor a review on their Sprout Doctor Starter Kit (minus the sunflower seeds). I will note here that I received seeds and products from Mercola for free, however I was not compensated in any way and all opinions are […]
The Healthy Family Expo was held at the Vancouver Convention this year and I was extended the opportunity to attend. As the name of the expo implies, most if not all of the vendors at this event had to do with healthy living, whether it’s in regards to food, exercise, health, environment, etc. I was […]
