Summer '17 - BBQ with PC® Insiders Collection™

It's true and I cannot believe it! Summer 2017 is coming to an end. We're taking full advantage of the long weekend - I'm sure a lot of you are too! If you're thinking about throwing a BBQ, take a look at the PC Insiders Collection for some delicious buns, burgers and hotdogs that we used for our own BBQs this summer. 

TRAVEL | Our much needed getaway to Viamede Resort

It's almost been 5 years since we started the blog and it's been a whirlwind adventure to say the least. As much as we love it, it can be tiring to work our 9-5 jobs and be out all night for events only to hit repeat the next day. We eagerly jumped on an opportunity to spend a weekend away at Viamede Resort to get some rest and relaxation. 

RECIPE| Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Old El Paso

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We love that we can can celebrate it on a Friday this year! What better way to celebrate than with taco night with friends and Old El Paso?

We love entertaining but with a big group it can be daunting and tiring to cook and clean for so many people. With the help of Old El Paso, we were about to cut down the prep and clean time to spend more time with our friends! 

Get ready to #SpiceUpSpring with Aroma's newest menu items!

It's no secret of ours that we love Aroma Espresso Bar and have ever since it opened its doors in Toronto. It's the perfect place to grab a classy quick bite or to move your work from home office to. 

RECIPE| Meal Prep made easy with Old El Paso!

The FoodSisterhood kitchen has been pretty quiet lately while we’ve been out and about in Toronto. While it’s great that we’ve been trying new things, it also means that we’ve become a little lazy with bringing lunches to work.

One of the main reasons for that is because there aren’t enough hours in a day to work 9-5, get a little exercise in and be able to cook and clean. We finally set aside some time on Sundays and with the help of a few OldEl Paso products, we were able to meal prep for the week ahead in a short amount of time! 

REVIEW | The Good Son

The Good Son has always been on our list of places to visit for one of three reasons:

1. We love the Queen West neighbourhood;
2. We've watched Chef Vittorio Colacitti's journey on Top chef Canada; and
3. We heard the food was amazing!

REVIEW | Hawthorne Food & Drink

I guess we're a little late for New Years Resolutions but if we're making changes to improve ourselves, who cares when we make it, right? Ever since we started this blog in 2014, we have been so fortunate to meet amazing people who share the same love for food as we do and have been to so many amazing restaurants in Toronto. This year for us will be about spending more time with the people we care about and doing things that give back to the community that we're so thankful to be a part of.

We were able to do just that by having dinner at Hawthorne Food & Drink with our foodie friends GoodFoodToronto and GoodFoodJess :)

RECIPES | Board Games, Wine & Fun Mexican Recipes

Happy New Year! How hard was it to go back to work after having that week long vacation? It's never enough when it comes to having free time during the holidays to spend time with friends and family, but c'est la vie, right?

It's still a bit cold to be out and about, so hosting a Game Night (board night, sports games, you name it) is a fun alternative. What’s our favourite game? Scrabble!

REVIEW | Brassaii - Brunch

Let's be honest. There's no shortage when it comes to brunch spots in the city - the only problem is... the lines, especially at places that do not take reservations. Brassaii is known more for nightlife - dinner, cocktails, bottle service and music but they actually have great brunch selections during the day. Plus, they take reservations!

REVIEW | Pi Co. Pizza

We all know that there's a LOT of options when it comes to pizza in Toronto. We haven't even come close to trying all of them as there's a new pizza shop popping up every few months! There are obviously differences - gourmet, brick oven, fast food, DIY, gluten-free, thin/thick crust, etc. the list is endless. When it comes to Pi Co. it's the perfect compromise in between all of that. It's a custom pizza that's authentic and cooked in minutes in a brick oven. The best part is that it's fast!

REVIEW | Food Nook Tours - Roncesvalles

Toronto is made of many unique neighbourhoods, each with their own history, culture - not to mention restaurants and bars. It wasn't until Bria's Food Nook Tour that I actually spent an entire Saturday afternoon in Roncesvalles, where she took us to 5 shops and taught us all about the area.

 

REVIEW | Ki Modern Japanese + Bar

We spent one Monday evening at Ki Modern Japanese + Bar in Brookfield Place for dinner and drinks. Located in the heart of the financial district, we weren't surprised to see so many people in suits. The restaurant is quite modern (as it says in its name) and chic and has that downtown bustle and liveliness, even on a weeknight. Not to spoil our experience in the first paragraph, but we're still thinking about the Dassai Sake we had with the Sake Sommelier!
